Achievement Scavenger vs Pyroblast

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.

Pyroblast is a browser-based service for bringing gaming activity from Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox into one profile. It detects and logs sessions without manual input, recording the game, start time, and duration. Connected libraries, playtime, achievements, and rankings appear together, with trophies and achievements collected in an achievement vault. Its Global Arena has boards for achievements, mastery of game difficulty, and lifetime play hours. Players can also review timelines, streaks, habits, play patterns, and a year-in-review recap. The service may generate AI-powered gameplay summaries, recommendations, and profile descriptions. Profiles can be public or private, and only public ones appear in the Arena. Pyroblast says it uses authorised platform APIs and permissions users grant, does not circumvent platform privacy settings, and does not sell or share data with third parties. It is free to start at free, with connections for Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox. The terms require users to be at least 16 years old; the current homepage describes browser access, while desktop and mobile applications are described as future offerings.
