Downloads
| File | What it is | When to pick it |

| Steam-Vault-Sync-0.1.0-portable.exe | Standalone (~18 MB) | No install. Drop on a USB / your SSD and launch from anywhere |
Requirements
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 (x64)
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime — pre-installed on Windows 11 and most updated Windows 10s. If missing, the NSIS / MSI installer fetches it automatically. For the portable .exe on a stripped machine, install from https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/webview2/.
Features
- Vault catalog persisted on the SSD itself (
vaultsync.db), so games stay browsable even when the drive isn't connected - One-click copy from SSD → local Steam library with pause / resume / cancel
- Auto-register copied games with Steam via
steam://install/<appid> - Launch directly from installed games via
steam://rungameid/<appid> - Clean uninstall — removes the game folder, the matching
appmanifest_*.acf, plusdownloading/<appid>andworkshop/content/<appid>, so Steam sees the game as truly removed - System tray — close-to-tray, hover-for-progress tooltip, explicit Show / Exit menu
- Multi-library aware — reads every Steam library in
libraryfolders.vdfand shows a per-drive breakdown - Zero-config covers — reads
appmanifest_*.acfto map folders → AppIDs, pulls art straight from Steam's CDN. No API key required. - Hot-plug detection — connect or disconnect the vault SSD and the UI updates within 3 seconds
