About SteamAchievementNotifier

Steam Achievement Notifier is a desktop utility hosted on a public GitHub repository, built for Steam users to receive alerts when they unlock game achievements. It uses Valve's internal Steamworks API for real-time achievement tracking, so no API key or Steam64 ID configuration is required to use it.

The tool offers extensive customization options for notifications, including adjustable appearance, position, display time, and custom sound effects. Users can save custom notification themes, set up special alerts for rare achievements (rarity below 10%) and 100% game completion, automatically capture Steam screenshots or generate screenshots with overlaid achievement notifications when unlocks occur, and minimize the app to the system tray to run in the background. It works best for PC gamers who regularly play Steam games and want personalized, visible alerts for achievement progress.
