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
