A native macOS launcher designed for retro gaming enthusiasts. Import your existing collections, add your ROMs, and start playing in minutes.
If you've used LaunchBox on Windows, you'll feel right at home with NostalgiApp. We've taken the best concepts from the world's favorite game launcher and rebuilt them from the ground up for macOS using SwiftUI.
NostalgiApp provides the same powerful game organization, beautiful artwork display, and seamless emulator integration you love—optimized for Apple Silicon and the macOS experience.
Built with SwiftUI for blazing-fast performance on Apple Silicon Macs. No emulation layers or compatibility modes.
Seamless iCloud sync, native keyboard shortcuts, Touch Bar support, and respects all macOS conventions.
Detects and configures emulators automatically. No manual path configuration or complex setup wizards.
Coverflow, grid, and list views with smooth animations. Multiple themes to match your style.
NostalgiApp is designed to work seamlessly with eXoDOS, eXoScummVM, eXoWin3x, eXoDREAMM, and other eXo collections. Simply point NostalgiApp to your existing installation and it will automatically import your entire library.
The import process reads the XML metadata files included with eXo collections to gather game information, artwork paths, and launch configurations. No need to re-download or reorganize anything—your existing setup works as-is.
Download and apply the official Linux/macOS patch to your eXo collection. This enables native emulator support on Mac.
Open NostalgiApp and select your eXo collection folder. The app will scan the XML files and import all game metadata automatically.
Browse your library, view artwork, read game info, and launch any game with a single click. NostalgiApp handles all emulator configuration.
Beyond eXo collections, NostalgiApp fully supports ROM-based game libraries. Import your personal ROM collections for any supported platform and NostalgiApp will organize them beautifully.
Simply drag your ROM folder into NostalgiApp. The app will scan, identify, and organize your games automatically.
NostalgiApp fetches box art, screenshots, descriptions, and other metadata from online databases to beautify your collection.
