All your Mac games on one shelf.
A console-style game launcher for macOS that finds every game you own — CrossOver, Steam, Epic, GOG, and the Mac App Store — and puts them in one beautiful, couch-friendly library.
Games on a Mac end up scattered across half a dozen launchers: native titles, Steam, Epic, GOG, and Windows games running through CrossOver. Marquee scans all of it automatically into one shelf you browse, search, and play from — no manual list-building, ever.

| The carousel — real spring physics, not a slideshow | Rainbow Slide — a Wii Menu-style wheel of covers |
- Seven view modes — Carousel, Rainbow Slide, Big, Grid, Wall, List, Compact List — ⌘1–7
- Every store, found automatically — CrossOver, Steam, Epic, GOG, Mac App Store, no manual entry
- Games on an external drive? Just plug it in — mounted drives are scanned automatically, and a drive connected while Marquee is open refreshes the library on the spot
- Bring your own library — drag any app or exe onto the window (Plex, emulators, anything) and remove it just as easily
- Yours to switch off — the music player and the hold-to-launch PLAY button are both optional (Settings ▸ Music / Behavior)
- A console-style pause menu — every setting, zero menu bar, controller-first
- Boots like a console — Launch at Login + Start in Full Screen, couch-ready
- Updates itself — checks its own GitHub releases and installs in place, no terminal required
- Real playtime tracking, smart sort, live search, cover art that looks right, an ambient music player — the small stuff, done

Mac only, Apple Silicon — Marquee exists to fill the hole Playnite leaves on
the Mac. Grab the latest release: open the
.dmg and drag Marquee into Applications, or build from source:
git clone https://github.com/jackharvest/Marquee.git
cd Marquee
make run # builds Marquee.app and opens itRequires macOS 14+; building needs a Swift 5.9+ toolchain (no Xcode project). First launch walks you through a short setup — everything's changeable later in Settings (⌘,).
Gatekeeper may flag a downloaded (not self-built) copy as unnotarized — right-click → Open → Open once, and it launches normally forever after. After that first launch, Marquee checks for and installs its own updates, so you shouldn't need to come back here again.
Pair a controller, flip on Start in Full Screen + Launch at Login in the pause menu, and set the Mac to auto-login — power it on and it lands straight in your fullscreen library, no keyboard needed. Full HDMI/AirPlay setup notes are on the website.
CrossOver bottles, native Steam, Epic, GOG, and Mac App Store games — each detected its own way (Start
Menu shortcuts, .acf manifests, bundle markers). Every connected external drive is scanned too, and
any drive can be skipped individually in Settings ▸ Custom Library ▸ External Drives.
Games somewhere else entirely? Point Marquee at the folder your game .app files actually live in —
Add Games Folder… on the empty-library screen, Library ▸ Add Folder to Scan…, or just drop the
folder onto the window. Folders you pick are searched several levels deep, so a shelf like
Games/Mac/Indie/… works as-is. Details on the website.
Marquee is private by design, and the first-launch flow spells this out before asking anything of you:
- Reads your game libraries — the folders above, read-only, to find installed games.
- Writes only its own files — cover art cache and settings live in your user Library folder. Marquee never modifies games or other apps.
- Goes online only for cover art — Steam's public listings or SteamGridDB, your choice. No account required, no analytics, no tracking, ever.
- No macOS permissions required — Marquee never prompts for privacy access. If macOS ever mentions app changes when a CrossOver game launches, that's CrossOver tidying its own generated shortcuts (Marquee launches wine with its responsibility disclaimed so the OS attributes that housekeeping correctly — and denying it is harmless either way).
If Marquee makes your Mac gaming life nicer, you can buy me a coffee ☕ — and prove my wife wrong.
