Description

This little tool will synchronize games from other platforms into your Steam library, using the Steam Shortcuts feature. The goal is that you do not have to leave your Steam library to launch games from other launchers/stores.

Features

  • Download art from SteamGridDB
  • Legendary integration
  • Epic Games Store integration
  • Itch.io integration
  • Origin integration (currently only windows, linux comming soon)
  • Cross Platform
  • Small (~1.5mb on disk), lightweight (~2mb ram) and fast(~30ms sync)
  • UI For configuration
  • GOG integration
  • UPlay integration
  • Lutris integration
  • XBox/Microsoft Store integration
  • Scheduling of synchronization
  • Steam Deck support (should work, but need to test when I get one)

Beta

This tool is still in beta, there are still lots of things to do, but the things that are there work. Feel free to submit issues and pull requests.

Getting started

  • Download the latest release from the releases page.
  • Choose the UI version or the cli version (if in doubt pick the UI version)
  • Place it in a folder of your choice.
  • Run the executable.
  • Restart Steam to see your new shortcuts.

Getting art for your shortcuts

  • Get a SteamGridDB API key
  • For the CLI version, Write it in the config.toml file (see how in the config section).
  • for the Ui version , copy it into the auth key input.
  • Run the executable again

Configuration

The tool reads its configuration from a config.toml file. You can either manually edit this file or use the UI version to changing these configurations.

Here is a simple example of how to write the config file:

[steamgrid_db]
auth_key="your steamgrid db auth key"

And here is a full example of all configuration options:


[epic_games]
enabled=true #On windows this is default true, on linux default false
location="C:\\ProgramData\\Epic\\EpicGamesLauncher\\Data\\Manifests" #If this value is not defined, the tool will try to find it automatically (only windows). If it can't find it, it will fail and tell you.

[legendary]
enabled=false #On windows this is default false, on linux default true
executable="legendary" #If this value is not defined, "legendary" will be used, it is assumed to be on the path.

[itch]
enabled=false #Default false
location="C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\itch" #If this value is not defined, "%APPDATA%itch" will be used on windows, and HOME/.config/itch on linux.

[origin]
enabled=false #Default false
location="C:\\ProgramData\\Origin" #If this value is not defined, "%PROGRAMGDATA%origin" will be used on windows, and HOME/Games/origin/drive_c/ProgramData/Origin/ on linux.


[steam]
location="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\" #If this value is not defined, the tool will try to find it automatically. If it can't find it, it will fail and tell you.

[steamgrid_db]
enabled = true #If false, the whole download of custom art will be skipped.
auth_key="<your steamgrid db auth key>" #This value is mandatory if you have steamgrid_db enabled.
