1. Setup

To run this launcher, your Mac must be on at least macOS 13.0 (Ventura).

Download the latest release from the releases page and install the app like you would with any other. The first time you open the app, you will get an alert saying that your Mac can't check the app for malicious software. This is because I'm a broke university student who can't afford an Apple Developer Program membership. Open up the app anyways :)

Adding a game

You can add a game by clicking the '+' button in the toolbar. Fill in as much information as you can.

Name

This is just the name of the game that is displayed in the sidebar and the toolbar.

Icon

The app icon that shows in the sidebar. A good source for these is macosicons.com.

Platform

The platform / store of the game. Will help organize the games in the sidebar.

Status

The game's status. (i.e. Are you playing it currently? Beaten it? Is it in your backlog? etc.) This is only used as another way to sort the games in the list.

Command

This is the terminal command that will launch your app. If you are unfamiliar with terminal commands, you can find a list of templates here. If you need a template for an app that isn't on the list, please let us know and we will do our best to help you figure it out.


Note: The following options will usually be auto-filled after creating the game. You should only need to edit these if the game's information isn't listed on igdb

Description

This is the description of the game. Pretty self-explanatory.

Genres

This is where you put the genres of your game. You can have as many as you want. Format them with new lines like this:

Action
Adventure
Sci-fi

Header

This is the header image. It'll make the app look a hell of a lot better. Unless you are insane, please use one.

Developer

The developer of the game. I know you love us, but we are not the devs. Don't put us!

Publisher

The publisher of the game. Hopefully not Activision.

Release Date

The date that the game was released.
