GOG Galaxy for Mac is the gaming Client for macOS designed for a convenient purchasing, playing and updating games, as well as an online play between gaming platforms, GOG Galaxy is also built with optionality in mind, and a belief that you should own the games you buy. Universal Cloud Saves, in-game overlay, bandwidth limiting, capturing screenshots, desktop notifications and more... GOG Galaxy for macOS is as much about bringing the GOG.com experience up to modern par, as it is about offering completely new features and standards.
Features and Highlights
Install & auto-update
Install any game with a single click, and the tool will keep it always up to date. Optional bandwidth limiting and scheduling give you additional control.
Cloud saves
Never lose your progress again! Your saves will automatically backup to the Cloud and will stay synced between your computers. (supported games only)
Offline mode
It’s up to you when and how to play your games. The app will always work without an internet connection, and so will your app installed games.
Rollbacks
Sometimes game updates break things. Thanks to the built-in Rollback feature, you can restore your game to prior states with just a single click.
Optional auto-updates
Don’t like being forced to update? In the software, you can turn off auto-updating for any game and receive notifications when new updates are available.
Achievements & playtime
Unlock achievement laid out by the developers and track your playtime. Win bragging rights or just do it for the sake of your inner completionist.
In-game overlay
See notifications, chat with friends or check how many FPS your glorious Mac is pushing by pressing Shift+Tab in-game. (supported games only)
Screenshots
For all overlay supported games, you can capture a screenshot to immortalize that epic moment - simply press F12 when the time is right.
Multiplayer & matchmaking
GOG Galaxy - powered multiplayer games offer matchmaking and online play. In new and classic games alike, meet other players and make friends... or enemies.
Crossplay
Crossplay-enabled games offer online play between GOG and Steam. Because where you buy your games shouldn't prevent you from playing with friends.
Friends list
Add people you like to your friend's list. Keep track of their activities, see if they are online, what are they playing, start a new chat or invite them to a game.
Online chat
No matter if your friends are playing a game, using the app or browsing the GOG website, you can always chat with them. Stay connected!
Game inviting & joining
Enjoy playing games in a good company? Invite friends from within the game, or join their games from the app Client. (supported games only)
Choose your features
The software is about freedom of choice. Not into achievements? Do desktop notifications distract you? Adjust the Client to your needs and stay clutter-free.
Privacy
'We deeply respect users, so we’ve also built the app to respect your privacy. We don’t track your personal data... we don’t even look for it.'
Notifications
No matter if the tool sleeps in the background or if you are playing a game, you won’t miss that new message, invite for a round of multiplayer or a friend request.
Constantly optimized
'We believe that the app should be as lightweight as possible, and with every version, we do best to decrease its CPU footprint.'
Always optional
'Beyond all these features, GOGGalaxy will never be mandatory. And that’s a great motivation for us - we want to make it so good, that you actually want to use it.'

gogrepo

Python-based tool for downloading your GOG.com game collections and extras to your local computer for full offline enjoyment.

It is a clean standalone python script that can be run from anywhere. It requires a typical Python 2.7 installation and html5lib.

By default, game folders are saved in the same location that the script is run in. You can also specify anotherdirectory. Run gogrepo.py -h to see help or read more below. Each game has its own directories with all game/bonus files saved within.
