In their own words
Achievement Scavenger
Achievement Scavenger is a desktop companion for tracking game achievements and following completion guides. It tracks progress for Steam, PlayStation, RetroAchievements, and Xbox while detecting launched games and showing live achievement status and rarity. It can capture a screenshot when an achievement unlocks and warn about missable achievements before a point of no return. Community walkthroughs combine step-by-step text and embedded media with live tracking and interactive checklists for collectibles and side quests. Mini Mode stays on top while playing, offers five overlay styles, and can be toggled with Ctrl+Shift+T. A local server and QR code let users open a mobile-optimized tracker, walkthroughs, and checklists on a phone. GitHub Gists can back up and restore history and checklists across devices. The project is GNU GPL licensed and costs nothing. Installation is listed for Windows 10/11 and Linux/Steam Deck. Depending on the tracking services used, setup may require API keys, tokens, or accounts. Hints, chapters, checklists, and missable flags come from a separate community database.
