hydra

Hydra Launcher is an open-source gaming platform designed to be the single tool for managing your gaming library. It is built with Node.js (Electron, React, TypeScript) and Rust, using libtorrent for torrenting. Key features include adding games you own, creating a profile to show friends what you're playing, cloud save synchronization via Hydra Cloud, unlocking achievements, and exploring a rich catalogue with a recommendation algorithm to discover new games. The project is MIT-licensed and welcomes contributions; the documentation at docs.hydralauncher.gg provides build-from-source instructions. Local development requires Node.js, Yarn, a Rust toolchain, Git, and a C++ toolchain, with the native build automatically handled via vcpkg.
