About Achievement-Watcher
Achievement-Watcher is an open source Windows application for viewing PC game achievements in one place. It reads achievement files generated by Steam and Steam emulators and matches the codes to readable achievement names using Steam data.
You can receive a notification when an achievement is unlocked, track playtime, and save a screenshot or video as a souvenir of the unlock. Notifications can be shown as Windows toast messages, sent over WebSocket for uses such as a Twitch overlay, or sent with GNTP. A Steam Web API key must be entered in Settings > Advanced for Steam data lookup.
It suits Windows players who play games outside the standard Steam client or want a local record of unlocks, screenshots, and playtime. Detailed setup and compatibility information is in the project Wiki.
