Steam

Find the Steam folder fast and keep a local spare.

Overview

Steam is a desktop helper. Local Windows and macOS helper for Steam library paths, screenshot and workshop caches, and export folders.

Patches move Steam library paths without warning.

Point it at a path, preview the plan if you want, then write the result next to the source or to --out.

How to get it

Use the command-line copy in this repository if you already have Python.

If you want a normal installer for Windows or macOS, open the setup page and follow the steps there.

What it does

• Locates Steam user data on Windows and macOS.
• Archives library folders without touching the live install.
• Optional preview so nothing is written until you say so.
• Prints the paths it used.

Background

Search traffic for Steam is the product name plus desktop.

Keep one official-looking helper per title.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
• Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
• Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI

Usage

Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help

--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.
