Optional features track total play hours and separate sessions, and users can launch monitored games from the program. It detects games running through DOSBox, ScummVM, or Wine, and can import unofficial configurations from the Ludusavi Manifest.

Windows requires .NET Framework 4.8; Linux requires Mono and additional packages, including SQLite3 and 7-Zip.
