About

BoilR will show games from other games platforms in your Steam library. It uses the Steam 3rd party shortcuts feature and does not require you to set up anything. The goal is that you do not have to leave your Steam library to launch games from other launchers/stores, so that you can find all the games that you have available. You can also use BoilR to manually and automatically download custom art from SteamGridDB.
