In plain English

V-Manager is a Windows desktop application for PC gamers who want to manage their game library, install performance-enhancing graphics mods, and shrink the disk space that games occupy. It is built with Electron, the same framework that lets web technologies run as a desktop app, and it is currently in early access. The README is written in both Turkish and English. The application scans for installed games automatically across Steam, Epic Games, GOG Galaxy, Xbox, the EA App, and Ubisoft Connect. It also checks the Windows Registry and any folders you define manually. For each game it finds, it downloads cover artwork from the SteamGridDB service so your library looks organized. The graphics mod side of V-Manager is its most distinctive feature. Certain graphics mods let games run faster or produce smoother motion by improving how images are scaled up or how extra frames are generated. V-Manager can install and remove several of these mods with a single click: DLSS Enabler, which enables frame generation features on graphics cards that do not natively support them, OptiScaler, an open-source scaling bridge that connects different upscaling technologies, Streamline, a set of NVIDIA SDK files managed with backup and hash verification, and a couple of supplementary tools. It also includes an editor for the configuration files these mods use, so you can tweak settings without opening a text editor. The compression feature uses algorithms built into Windows, branded as Compact OS technology, to shrink game folders on disk. The games remain fully playable after compression. You can choose between four compression levels ranging from fast with modest savings to maximum compression that requires more processing power. Additional tabs in the app show currently free games and keys from a third-party API, a curated list of gaming utility tools, and YouTube videos about graphics mod setup. The project is open source under the ISC license and accepts pull requests.
