Steins;Tracker
What it is
Steins;Tracker is a Windows desktop app that records game time automatically and presents the results in an interactive dashboard. It detects games in the background and tracks total time, daily averages, session history, streaks, goals, and yearly heatmaps. Users can add games manually or by folder, then assign friendly names and custom icons. System monitoring covers CPU, RAM, GPU, temperatures, network speed, ping, and FPS. The interface can be adjusted with themes, wallpapers, blur, opacity, dark mode, and controls for hiding elements. A QR code opens the dashboard on a phone over the user's local network. The maker says data is stored in the Documents folder and is not sent to external servers without explicit action. A Google account is required even for free use for validation and fraud prevention. The app supports CSV log export and JSON import of visuals and settings. Compatibility is listed for 64-bit Windows 10 or 11; an all-in-one installer includes a local server, and updates are provided through GitHub Releases.
