BoilR is a desktop application that automatically synchronizes games from other launchers and stores into your Steam library using Steam's 3rd party shortcuts feature, including downloading cover art from SteamGridDB. It is a lightweight Rust application that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Steam Deck with no installation required.

Use cases

  • add epic games store games to my steam library
  • show all my games from other launchers in steam
  • get cover art for non-steam shortcuts in steam
  • sync gog games into steam on steam deck
  • import games from other platforms to steam automatically
  • manage steam shortcuts for third party games
  • customize artwork for non-steam games in steam

When to choose

  • you want all your games from multiple launchers visible in one Steam library
  • you use a Steam Deck or Linux and want a flathub/AUR installable sync tool
  • you want automatic artwork downloads for imported shortcuts
  • you want a lightweight standalone tool with no setup

When to avoid

  • you want to launch games outside of Steam entirely
  • you need a platform integration not supported by BoilR
  • you rely on the flatpak version and need full feature parity, since it has limitations
