GOG Galaxy

Windows only. Requires GOG Galaxy 2.x installed.

How it works

accshift snapshots the Galaxy session of the account you are logged into (login token, client configuration and local session caches), encrypts it at rest, and restores it when you switch. Your password is never seen or stored.

Adding an account

  1. Log into GOG Galaxy with the account you want to add.
  2. Open the GOG Galaxy tab in accshift. The signed-in account is detected automatically and appears as a pending card.
  3. Click the card to save it. The account id and username come from the Galaxy client.

Repeat for every account: log out of Galaxy, log into the next account, add it.

Switching

Click an account card. accshift closes Galaxy, restores that account's session snapshot, then relaunches Galaxy signed in as that account.

If the session has expired server-side, Galaxy shows its login screen once; log in and the snapshot is refreshed on the next switch away.

Troubleshooting

  • Account not detected: make sure Galaxy is fully signed in (not on the login screen) before opening the tab, then use the refresh button.
  • Custom install path: set it in Settings > GOG Galaxy if auto-detection fails.
