Getting started

1

Download

Grab the zip with the button below.

2

Unzip

Extract the folder anywhere, for example your Desktop or a games folder.

3

Run

Open AVN Library.exe to start. Your games show up automatically.

Windows may warn you. The app is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows an "unknown publisher" caution the first time. Click More info, then Run anyway. If you like, verify the download with the checksum further down.

Frequently asked questions

Is AVN Library free?

Yes. AVN Library is completely free for Windows. You can organize and launch your whole visual novel collection without an account. An optional free account, just a username and password with no email, adds the friends features.

What does AVN Library do?

It is a launcher and organizer for your visual novel collection. Point it at your folders and it finds every game automatically, then lets you launch any of them from one window while it tracks your playtime and keeps itself up to date.

Does it work with Ren'Py and other engines?

Yes. AVN Library detects games regardless of the engine they were built with and launches the executable you already have, so Ren'Py and other visual novels all live in one library.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to scan, organize, and launch your library. An account is only required for the optional friends list, and it never asks for an email.

Does AVN Library provide or host any games?

No. AVN Library only launches games you already own on your PC. It does not host, distribute, or link to any games, and it is not affiliated with their developers.

Which versions of Windows are supported?

AVN Library runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

How do I install AVN Library?

Download the zip, extract the folder anywhere, and run AVN Library.exe. Your games show up automatically. There is nothing to install.

Is my data private?

Yes. AVN Library is local-first, so your library stays on your PC. Accounts and friends are optional and opt-in, and no email is ever stored.
