SwapDeck 1.3.0

SwapDeck 1.3.0

Every game now has a Steam-style page with its updates, news, screenshots, achievements and friends, and SwapDeck fits your screen better.

🎮 Game details

• A new Overview for every Steam game. Account, display, sound and launch options are behind the ⚙️ gear next to the close button
• Update status straight from Steam: up to date, queued, downloading with progress, paused, verifying or failed
• Last played, playtime and achievements at a glance, plus one-click links to the store page, DLC, community hub, discussions, guides, workshop, market and support
• Screenshots per account, with a full-size view and Open folder
• Achievements per account with your latest unlocks and Show all. Hidden ones stay hidden until you unlock them
• Workshop, DLC and notes: installed workshop items and their size, DLC with art (Installed marked), and a note for each game

📰 News & patch notes

• The developer's announcements and patch notes, newest first
• Read the whole post in SwapDeck, with headings, lists and pictures. Steam links open in Steam, trailers on YouTube, and Open in Steam is always there
• Posts since you last played are tagged New

👥 Connected accounts

• Friends who play: who played recently with their hours, and everyone who's played it before
• Owned DLC: each DLC shows Owned / Not owned for the account, even when another account installed it on this PC
• Pick which connected account in the card's corner

📚 Library & tray

• Update badges on Library covers and in the tray panel: Update queued, Updating 42%, Update paused, Update failed
• Your note on the launch screen: a game's note (crosshair code, server IP…) shows when you press Play, with a Copy button

✨ App

• Auto UI scale follows your screen, not the window: 100% on 1080p, a little larger on 1440p and 4K, and portrait monitors count by their short side. A bigger window now shows more instead of making everything bigger
• The account and game details panels grow with the window, and a new install opens at a size that fits your screen

ℹ️ Good to know

• News, DLC and friends are fetched from Steam only when you open a game's details, and cached for a while
• Friends and owned DLC use the connected account's saved Steam sign-in, the same one Refresh stats uses. Nothing is sent anywhere but Steam
• If Auto felt big before, it will look smaller now. Pick a fixed size in Settings → General if you prefer

Install: download SwapDeck-Setup-1.3.0.exe below. If you already have SwapDeck installed, it updates itself. The portable .exe doesn't auto-update.

SwapDeck 1.2.0

SwapDeck 1.2.0

Tag and star your games, filter by as many tags as you like, and open SwapDeck from anywhere.

🏷️ Tags

• Games have their own tags now. Tag each game in its details, with the ready-made fps, racing and horror tags or your own
• Accounts use the same tag editor, and tags made on games can be used on accounts and the other way round
• Tag colours: click a tag's dot to pick one of 8 colours or any custom colour. A tag looks the same everywhere
• Tags keep their place: ticking or unticking a tag never moves it around

⭐ Favourites

• Star games on their cover or in their details. Starred games come first in the Library, whatever the sort
• The account Pin is now called Favourite, and pinned accounts stay starred

🔎 New Tags filter

• One Tags button on Accounts and Library replaces the sideways-scrolling row. Tick as many tags as you like, plus Favourites, and anything with any of them shows
• Ticked tags show as chips you can remove, with Clear
• In the Library, All / Steam / Non-Steam is now its own switch

⌨️ Tray panel shortcut

• Optionally open the tray panel from any app with Ctrl + Alt + S. Off by default: Settings → General, under "Keep running in the tray"
• Change the key to any combination of two of Ctrl, Alt and Shift plus a key. SwapDeck tells you if another program already uses it, and refuses keys that would block typing (like AltGr characters on European keyboards)

✨ App

• "Restart now" shows Installing update, SwapDeck reopens in a few seconds instead of just closing, and waits while a game you launched through SwapDeck is still running, so your display and sound are put back first
• The switching screen shows the account's avatar
• Backups are checked more carefully when restoring

ℹ️ Good to know

• Games no longer show the tags of the account they launch with, so tag them in their details
• "Accent follows the running game's tag" now uses those game tags

Install: download SwapDeck-Setup-1.2.0.exe below. If you already have SwapDeck installed, it updates itself. The portable .exe doesn't auto-update.

SwapDeck 1.1.0

SwapDeck 1.1.0

A big one: SwapDeck now launches your games, not just your accounts. Every game can bring its own account, monitor, resolution, sound and helper apps, and everything is put back when you quit.

🎮 Library

• All your Steam games with their Steam artwork, plus any non-Steam game (anything with an .exe)
• Play sets everything up for you, then puts it all back when the game exits:
  • Steam account: switches to the right account first
  • Display: make a monitor primary, or use only that monitor. It can even switch on a monitor that's off in Windows (great for a sim rig screen)
  • Resolution profiles you make yourself, e.g. 1280 × 960 stretched for CS2, with a Test button
  • Sound device: e.g. your headset for sim racing. Your voice-chat device is left alone
  • Companion apps like SimHub or Crew Chief start with the game, and can close with it
  • Launcher: start Content Manager (or any launcher) instead of the game, and keep the Steam art and tracking
  • Launch options, or import them from Steam
• Stop never closes your game. It only puts your display and sound back.
• Desktop shortcuts that launch a game with all of the above
• Session history and playtime per account for games you launch through SwapDeck

👤 Accounts

• New "Who's playing?" picker, or switch back to the classic gallery in Settings
• Steam avatars everywhere, an outline on the signed-in account, and a calmer account page
• CS2 settings per account: a per-account autoexec, and copy settings from one account to another (with a backup)
• Account stats are now called "Connect for stats"

🖥️ Displays

• Normal setup: every connected monitor (on or off) drawn to scale. Pick the ones you use and your main one
• Restoring uses Windows' own display configuration, so rotation, positions and refresh rates come back exactly, even when Windows renumbers your monitors
• Restore display now if a game ever crashes and leaves things wrong

✨ App

• New look with Dark, OLED Black and Light themes and accent colours (or your Windows accent)
• Tray mode with a mini panel to switch accounts or start a recent game, and Start with Windows
• Open on Accounts or Library
• Backup and restore your settings (sign-ins and passwords are never included)
• Keyboard and controller navigation
• A What's new window after updates, and the full changelog in Settings → About
• Smoother scrolling, themed dropdowns, and lots of small fixes

🔧 Fixes

• Game icons in an account's game list were broken for stats saved by 1.0.0
• Library art for newer Steam games (like Assetto Corsa Rally) now loads
• Steam's "ask which account to use" setting is turned off in every form, so it can't block switching

Install: download SwapDeck-Setup-1.1.0.exe below. If you already have SwapDeck installed, it updates itself. The portable .exe doesn't auto-update.
