I've been frustrated for a while that the Games app only shows a fraction of what I actually play - GPTK ports, CrossOver titles, indie games, emulators - none of them show up because they don't have the right category tag in their bundle.
So I built Games Patcher to fix that.
It's a little macOS app that either:
- Creates a lightweight launcher for any game that registers it with the Games app, or
- Patches an existing app's plist directly so it shows up natively
You can also set custom icons, manage all your launchers in one place, and remove anything with one click.
The free AppleScript version does everything you need.
There's also a paid SwiftUI version (v3) with a proper liquid glass UI built for macOS Tahoe if you want something that feels more polished - but the free one gets the job done.
Built this for myself and figured others might find it useful - especially anyone running GPTK or CrossOver who wants their whole library in one place.
