If you're a fan of gaming and enjoy indie content as well, you might want to find a way to discover new content and manage your collection without significant efforts.

Fortunately, nowadays there are a few software solutions that can help you achieve convenient results in the situation depicted above. One of them is itch.

You can turn to this application if you need a quick way to discover indie games, acquire new titles, download content on your computer and play it from the same place.

When you first launch the application, you will be prompted to provide it with a username and a password. You can also register for a new account or access a list of saved login sessions from the same window.

After you've reached the main window, you can notice that itch packs a browser section, a "Search" field and a bunch of categories, such as "Essentials," where you can access the itch.io store, your library and your collections, or the "Tabs" one, where you can revisit recently opened items.

It is possible to buy new games from the "itch.io" store, view them in your library, create collections for better organization, manage your downloads and filter your search results in numerous ways. For instance, you can choose to display only games that are compatible with Windows, view bundles and access community-related features.

Clicking your profile name will let you explore a combo menu, where you can explore a bunch of this app's features, including the creator's profile, the download's section, or the feedback sending function. It is also possible to adjust preferences.

Some of them include enabling the itch.io sandbox feature, running the app at startup and minimizing it to tray when attempting to close the window. Notifications can also be toggled, and it is possible to use HTTP proxy.

If you're looking for a quick way to discover new indie games, add them to your library and manage the contents without significant efforts, you might want to give itch a spin. It comes with a simplistic user interface and its controls are intuitive enough to be used even by novices.
