BoilR

Description

BoilR automatically adds (almost) all your games to your Steam library.

BoilR Screenshot

It uses the Steam 3rd party shortcuts feature and does not require you to set up anything. The goal is that you do not have to leave your Steam library to launch games from other launchers/stores, so that you can find all the games that you have available. Optionally you can set BoilR up to automatically download artwork from SteamGridDB.

Features

  • Show games from other platforms in your steam library
  • Automatically download art from SteamGridDB
  • Cross Platform (Windows, Linux, Mac, Steam Deck)
  • Standalone / No install needed
  • Small (~3mb on disk)
  • Lightweight (~30mb ram)
  • Fast synchronization (~1 second)

Integrations

Getting started

  • Download the latest release from the releases page.
  • Run the executable.
  • Click Synchronize.
  • Restart Steam to see your new shortcuts.

Getting cover art for your shortcuts

  • Get a SteamGridDB API key
  • Run BoilR put the auth key in the input (in the settings section).
  • Click Syncrhonize

Tips for steam deck

I currently don't have a steam deck, which slows down development for it a bit. There might still be problems specific to the deck, so if you run into one please check the issues.

If you have a problem that a game wont launch, try to manually set a proton version for it.

Tips for linux

If you are running linux (this includes Steam Dekc) and are running into problems check tips for linux seciton

Configuration

Most people will not have to configure anything, just open BoilR and click Synchronize, but it is possible to configure a lot, see the configuration section

What is up with the name BoilR?

This tool turns things into Steam, therefor boiler, And it is written in Rust so therefor: BoilR

Check that there is not already an issue for it here If not, create a new issue and I will have a look at it (remember to write which OS you are using).

I have a great idea / I would like support for a specific platform, what do I do?

Check out the discussions and feel free to create new discussions for your idea.

How can I help/contribute?

If you are a coder, you can fork this repo and then create a pull request, they are very welcome! If you are not a developer (or you don't like to code in Rust) spread the work and create issues/discussions for anything.

Can I donate to support BoilR?

Nope, please don't, donate it to your favorite charity instead, and if you don't have one of those may I suggest something like GiveWell.
