The record

Purpose: GameVault is a self-hostable platform for browsing and playing DRM-free games stored on your file server.
Library management: The server indexes game files, adds metadata, and lets users organize, download, install, and launch games.
Progress tracking: The client tracks playtime and game progress, including while offline.
Server features: The server supports multi-user authentication, role-based access control, parental controls, backups, and OAuth2 authentication.
Clients: GameVault provides a browser-based Web UI, a legacy Windows app, and an early-access desktop client for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Integrations: GameVault+ includes Playnite, Steam, and Discord integrations, plus client APIs for integrations.
API: The backend provides a documented REST API for building clients, third-party integrations, and library automation.
Security and privacy: The maker says it uses encryption to protect user data and follows GDPR rules; Stripe handles billing and payment information and meets PCI compliance standards.
Subscription availability: GameVault+ is currently available in the legacy Windows app, with cross-platform client support described as coming soon.
