Atlas is an open source game manager for Windows & Linux with a modern interface for organizing your library.
Whether you're managing a small personal collection or hundreds or thousands of titles from multiple sources, Atlas keeps everything organized, searchable, and easy to launch while staying performant.

Atlas is for the user that wants ease of use, quality of life and have the software do the heavy lifting for you.
You are able to install and manage titles from these sources bellow; you are also able to browse all the titles on these sites in the client.

• F95Zone​
• LewdCorner​
• ​
• AtlasDB (we can make custom entries that is not on any source)​

Features:

• Clean, fast gallery view with banners and thumbnails​
• Custom local tags with autocompleting text input​
• Automatic updates and notifications from LewdCorner and other sources (every 1-3 hours from our metadata server)​
• Super flexible search + filtering​
• Track your play-state's on per title and per version (will update when you replace the version)​
• Save your filters and searches for quick searches!​
• Bulk scan and import/install a hundred's of games at once!​
• Replace old versions of a title with a simple selection (deletes game files and removes listing for old version)​
• Import with custom and complex folder setups with your own regex!​
• Import from your old library (with GL_infos.ini files!)​
• Extract Zip files (working but some bugs related to rar files for now)​
• Move and sort your installed games easily​
• Import titles no matter if they are installed or not by logging in!​
• GOG support! Import your GOG titles.​
• Audit your metadata and correct errors from the websites​
• Custom themes with your own theme editor in the UI! (29+ themes in our !)​
• Custom banners/Gallery items​
• Export Themes, Banner presets and queries.​
• Streams all images or downloads and converts to WebP if you want to store it.​
• Login (with 2FA & Passkey support) to F95zone, LC, Steam and others will come)​
• Playtime tracker per version and per title (combines versions)​
• Auto updater for Atlas itself​

Notes on AtlasDB: AtlasDB is our own metadata source we control. We do not plan to take over anything but we do link AtlasDB titles to the other sources and pull and merge that. For example we can map out and have admin curated links and mappings.
We can also have custom metadata on any titles that can act as overrides if we wanted.
Fully custom titles is also supported so when a title is not on F95 or LC then it can be manually filled out or just mapped out with a steam or gog link for local streaming for the client.
Currently only me, tower and one more is admins there, we could use more (but they need to be trusted)

Awesome. Seriously great. Thanks for the heads up.

It's nice to see LewdCorner as a first-class citizen.

I'll give this a shot and contribute when I can. Probably as soon as the

is implemented.

Thanks, LC is not ignored!
We still do have some LC related quirks we need to fix up but its pretty much there.

If you know anything about F95Checker or want to help with adding the feature then please go ahead in the github or discord!

I do believe we have to import and build paths from the database file but perhaps im wrong.
Atlas has a good and stable import system of its own though!
You can have any structured layout or even use a custom regex for the import!

 

[richpalmer]

Oh wow. I can't wait to give this a try.

 

[Deity]

This is great, nice to see Linux support! I've been using wLib but this looks better, will give this a try.

 

[SloWolfe]

I am super interested in this. I've been needing a decent manager for a while. Right now, my "system" is just two folders full of random games and a bunch of desktop icons for everything I still need to finish.

As long as Atlas can handle custom entries not in any of the first-class databases, it shouldn't be a problem.

I've got a couple different projects I want to finish up first but for sure I'll check it out.

Sounds like the perfect time to get control of it all! Atlas will sort your install folder for you aswell!

Custom entries? as in titles not on LC or F95? sure we could handle that. nothing stops Atlas from importing it all locally.
We also have AtlasDB where we can make new game entries if we wanted, got a few of them so far but only admins can add too that.
If you are in need of anything then go ahead and tell me in the discord, we have a thread there for such things.

But yeah, for the F95 checker git issue should be mostly correct and there and reading the db would be the way to go.

I will definitely look into setting it up over the next few days. One quick question, does it support custom tags/categories? Right now, my folders are organized by status (games I have completed up to the current update, ones I am currently playing, and ones I still need to start), so being able to tag them like that would be huge.

So no, currently custom tags is not a thing in this current state.
But we have a build in playstate system for such things that interacts with the update system aswell!
So when you have a title that you have completed and flagged it as such and there is a new update for the game, it will correct itself!

EDIT: well, supposed to work like that. Thats brand new and we have not tested it fully!
Bugs are expected with the entire client... not many though!

Is there any good youtubevideo from this? Would like to know more. Dont know what to search on youtube to get some videos to see it live

 

[Deity]

I gave this a try and I'm unable to edit tags for any of my games including ones with no tags. Is this intentional or am I missing something?

intentional for now! we currently do not have a local metadata table for custom tags! it was locked out for now.
it will be back pretty soon!

What? no, nobody on YT would cover this, focuses far too much on the lewd games for that.
Not to mention if someone did make a video just a month ago it would be invalid today because of how fast we are progressing the client.

The next nightly build will have tag support. This has been asked for so much lol.

We have both Categories and tags on the nightly build. The main does not have this yet. Once its fully tested ill push to main

Love the idea! I am actually working on something similar! How do you store and organize your games?
I thought about contributing, but I just don't know that I can support electron it sucks up way too much memory.

It’s actually quite funny how we ended up using electron. We started with c++, migrated to c# but had memory leaks and image loading issues. I tried rust and that was probably the worst decision. Not a great language. Electron turned out to be the most effective and efficient in resources with the load we put on it. Not my Prime choice but it’s worked. All games data is stored using a local SQLite instance. For the actual game data, there is a server set up to host it all. Prevents the need for user having to do it.

You should have went with Go . Nah, I get the stack journey, and if it works for you, then that's awesome. I went with a local sql store for the games, and self hosted server as well. My plan is for the server to hook directly into LC with login credentials so that users can access their games and games+ data, and hopefully user specific filters if those get saved to the database.

But, I am also going with a federated trusted node setup. The idea will be that I will host the initial server, and nodes I trust I will add to my trusted list, and so forth. I plan on adding antivirus scanning, encryption, as well as considering p2p downloads so that if hosting sites take down the file and break the link, the users will still have access.

Its clean bud, but please don't take my word for it and test it yourself with VirusTotal or something, or read the source code.
All builds are built directly with Github actions, so no bad play here.

On a sidenote, 6 commits around Linux related issues was pushed last night untill now.
So anyone that was on a Linux distro should give it another shot and give us some feedback!
