GameVault is a self-hosted gaming platform for organizing and distributing legally owned DRM-free game files from your own server. It helps you and your friends browse a shared library, track activity, and download games to play locally.

Key Features

Organize a DRM-free game library stored on your own file server
Web-based UI for browsing your collection and managing your account
Native Windows client application for accessing and downloading games
User access for sharing a library with friends and family
Library metadata and stats tracking for your collection

Use Cases

Build a personal "Steam-like" library for DRM-free games from sources such as GOG or Humble Bundle
Share a curated game collection with a small group (friends/family) from a private server
Maintain an organized catalog of installers/archives for backup and re-download

Limitations and Considerations

Designed specifically for DRM-free games; storefronts with proprietary DRM are not supported
No game streaming; GameVault focuses on library management and file distribution
Native clients are primarily Windows-focused; other platforms rely on the Web UI or community solutions

GameVault is a practical solution for digital ownership: you keep the files, control access, and manage your library in one place. It is best suited for homelabs and small groups who want a private, organized way to distribute DRM-free game installers.
