Decky Loader is a homebrew plugin loader for the Steam Deck that injects React components into the Steam UI and runs background scripts. It lets users install community plugins from a plugin store to customize menus, sounds, system settings, and more via the Quick Access menu.
Use cases
- install homebrew plugins on steam deck
- customize steam deck ui themes and sounds
- adjust steam deck power and fan settings
- add game info like protondb badges and howlongtobeat
- bring desktop apps into gaming mode
- manage bluetooth from quick access menu
When to choose
- you want to extend Steam Deck functionality with community plugins
- you want UI, audio, or system setting customization on SteamOS
- you want a safe, uninstallable plugin loader that doesn't modify Steam files
When to avoid
- you don't own a Steam Deck or run SteamOS
- you want to avoid any homebrew/modification of your device
- you need plugins for a different handheld or platform
