Steins;Tracker

What it is
Steins;Tracker is a Windows desktop app that automatically records game time and displays statistics in an interactive dashboard. It detects games in the background and tracks total time, daily averages, session history, streaks, goals, and yearly heatmaps. Users can add games manually or by folder, then set friendly names and custom icons. System monitoring covers CPU, RAM, GPU, temperatures, network speed, ping, and FPS. The interface can be adjusted with themes, wallpapers, blur, opacity, dark mode, and controls for hiding interface elements. A QR code opens the dashboard on a phone over the user's local network. The maker says data is stored locally in the Documents folder and is not sent to external servers without explicit action. However, a Google account is required even for free use for validation and fraud prevention. The app supports CSV log export and JSON import of visuals and settings. Compatibility is listed as 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, and the maker provides an all-in-one installer with an embedded local server and automatic updates through GitHub Releases.
