Gameyfin

Gameyfin is an open source, web-based application for organizing and browsing a video game collection. It scans your game folders, enriches entries with metadata and cover art, and presents everything in a fast, easy-to-navigate library you can access from any modern browser.

Key Features

• Automatically scans and indexes game libraries from configured folders
• Fetches metadata and cover images to enrich your catalog
• Web UI for browsing your collection and downloading game files
• Library sharing for friends and family
• LAN-friendly caching to keep browsing fast on local networks (videos may still be fetched remotely)
• Theme support, including colorblind-friendly options
• Plugin system for extending functionality
• Optional SSO integration via OAuth2 / OpenID Connect

Use Cases

• Create a centralized catalog for a large local ROM/game archive
• Share a curated game library with family or a small community
• Run a lightweight, browser-accessible game library for a homelab

Limitations and Considerations

• Metadata quality and matching depend on external metadata sources and file naming consistency
• Persistence is based on an embedded H2 database by default, which may be less suitable for very large deployments

Gameyfin is a good fit for users who want a Jellyfin-like experience for game collections, with a clean UI, automatic library organization, and extensibility. It can run in a container or on any JVM-capable system and is designed to be simple and fast.
