About SamRewritten

SamRewritten is an open-source desktop utility for Windows and Linux that manages Steam achievements. It can lock and unlock achievements on a Steam account, including in bulk, schedule unlocks over a custom period, copy another user's unlock timings and replay them, and edit statistics for games and apps that expose them. It also offers import and export of achievements and stats, an idle mode that makes apps appear in-game (with an option to stay hidden from friends), advanced statistics such as library totals and an unlock activity heatmap, and an optional local history of every change with one-click undo that is off by default. Distribution covers Arch via the AUR, Ubuntu and other snapd systems via the Snap Store, an AppImage for other Linux distributions, and a Windows installer or portable ZIP. The Snap build cannot be used with the Flatpak version of Steam, and the Snap CLI shares the Steam folder granted by the GUI, so a GUI command must be run once first. The project and its contributors state they are not affiliated with Valve Corporation or Microsoft.
