THE VAULT

A fast, controller-ready game launcher for Windows. Every game you own in one place — with trainer support, automatic save backups, cover art, and a full fullscreen console mode.

What you get

Built for the way you actually play

No bloat, no account required, no telemetry. One small app that finds your games and gets out of the way.

🔍

Finds your games automatically

Scans every drive for games from Steam, Epic, GOG, EA, Ubisoft and standalone installs — pulling in the official name and box art for each.

▶

One-click launch

Starts Steam or Ubisoft Connect for you first, so your games launch straight away — no juggling different clients.

🎮

Trainer support

Drop a trainer into your trainers folder and The Vault matches it to the right game by name and loads it before the game starts.

💾

Automatic save backups

Every time you close a game, your save folder is copied to a timestamped backup. Corrupt save or bad patch? Roll right back.

🎨

Cover art, handled

Missing box art is fetched online automatically from Steam's library, or set your own image. Your shelf always looks complete.

📺

Fullscreen console mode

Go big-screen and drive the entire app with a controller — giant box art, detail pages and a couch-ready interface.

★

Smart library

Favorites, playtime tracking, recently added and unplayed views, sorting and search — your backlog, organized.

👑

Yours alone

Licensed per PC with a signed, machine-bound key. Buy once, it's yours — fully offline, no subscription, no phoning home.

A closer look

Everything it does, in detail

The Vault isn't just a list of shortcuts. Here's what's happening under the hood.

The Vault library

Your whole library, found for you

Point The Vault at your drives and it does the rest — sweeping folders for installed games and building a clean, scrollable shelf with proper names and artwork.

  • Scans multiple drives and custom folders
  • Recognizes Steam, Epic, GOG, EA and Ubisoft titles
  • Pulls the correct game name and box art automatically
  • Skips installers and junk executables, picks the real game
  • Exclude anything you don't want, and manage the excluded list later
The Vault game detail page

A detail page for every game

Click any game and get a full page — oversized art, how long you've played, whether a trainer is attached, your own notes, and one big LAUNCH button.

  • Large cover art and title treatment
  • Total playtime and date added
  • Trainer status at a glance
  • Mark favorites and write per-game notes
  • Launch, open the game folder, or manage it right there
The Vault right-click menu

Trainers & save backups, done right

Right-click any game for the full toolkit. Trainers load before the game so they hook correctly, and your saves are protected automatically every time you quit.

  • Auto-matches trainers by game name — no manual picking
  • Loads the trainer first, then the game
  • Tells closely-named games apart (e.g. Dying Light vs. Dying Light: The Beast)
  • Auto-backs up your save folder on exit, timestamped so nothing is overwritten
  • Choose the save folder yourself and keep a rolling history of backups
The Vault console mode

Console mode & full controller support

Hit fullscreen and The Vault becomes its own big-screen interface you can run entirely from the couch with a controller — like a console dashboard for your PC.

  • True fullscreen "console OS" layout
  • Full Xbox-style controller navigation
  • Giant box art built for a TV across the room
  • Jump into any game without touching a mouse
  • A pulsing orange glow ties the whole UI together
