Your library, automatically organized. This is what it looks like after a 3-minute scan.
Sound familiar?
You have hundreds of games sitting in a folder somewhere. And you've been meaning to «get a proper setup» for 3 years.
Every emulator frontend you've tried looks like it was last updated when you were in school. Impossible to configure. Cover art that doesn't load. Saves scattered across 4 different folders. Controllers that need reconfiguring every single time.
You don't have a ROM problem. You have a launcher problem.

A launcher that looks as good as your setup.
16 themes. Pixel-precise. Looks great on a 4K monitor next to Figma.
vs. the alternatives
You've tried the others.
RetroArch is powerful but feels like a cockpit. LaunchBox is feature-rich but Windows-only and pricy. RetroApp is neither.

Setup time
“I had 800 ROMs in a ZIP folder for 6 years. RetroApp organized everything in 3 minutes. I felt slightly embarrassed it took me this long to find it.”
Thomas M.
Product designer, 34
“The only app I've ever installed for fun that looks better than the tools I use for work. My dev friends thought it was a paid product.”
Sarah K.
Frontend developer, 29
“We finished Mario Kart 64 online with my brother last Saturday. He lives in Lyon. I'm in Paris. We haven't played together in 20 years.”

FAQ
Quick answers.
Is it really free?+
Yes. Your local library — scanning, organizing, playing — is free forever. No time limit, no credit card.
Is using an emulator launcher legal?+
RetroApp is a launcher, not a ROM provider. It ships no games. You supply your own files. We recommend ROMs of games you own physical copies of.
What about my RetroArch setup?+
RetroApp uses its own emulation cores. Your existing ROMs work fine — just point it at the same folder.
Windows, macOS, Linux — all three?+
Yes. Built with Tauri — a true native app on all platforms. ~25 MB download, no Electron.
What does Premium add?+
Free is everything for your local library. Premium adds Netplay (online co-op/competitive), cloud save sync, and priority support.
