SteamForge

A modern, cross-platform Steam achievement manager. Browse your library, view global rarity stats, and unlock or lock achievements — all from a clean, Steam-themed desktop app. Native on both Windows and Linux/Steam Deck, with no .NET or Proton required.

Disclaimer: SteamForge modifies achievement data through the Steamworks SDK. Use at your own risk — modifying achievements may violate Steam's terms of service. This project is provided for educational and personal use.

Tech Stack

Prerequisites

• Go 1.23+
• Node.js 18+
• Wails v2 CLI
• Steam must be running on the same machine

Linux

WebKit2GTK is required:

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev

Development

wails dev -tags webkit2_41

This starts a Vite dev server with hot reload for the frontend and live reloads the Go backend.

Building

# Linux
wails build -tags webkit2_41 -ldflags="-s -w"

# Windows
GOOS=windows wails build -ldflags="-s -w"

The compiled binary is output to build/bin/.

How It Works

SteamForge connects to Steam through the Steamworks SDK to read and modify achievement state. When your Steam profile is public, it can also fetch achievement data from the Steam Community without requiring a game connection. Global unlock percentages are fetched from the Steam Web API with rate limiting and retry logic.

Achievement changes are written back through the Steamworks SDK, which requires the target game to be connected via Steam. The app handles connection management automatically when needed.
