Torii and Steam
Your Steam library, with everything else
Steam is very good at showing Steam games. The trouble starts with the game next to it: the one on Epic, the one you got free on GOG, the one your brother shares from his account, the one you installed without any launcher. Torii reads all of Steam and puts it next to everything else, in a single list.
What Torii reads from Steam
Two very different sources, and they don't need the same thing. What's on your disk can be read without connecting anything at all; what you own requires linking your account.
| What you get | Where it comes from | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Installed games, size on disk, last session | Steam's files on your PC | Nothing — having Steam installed is enough |
| Owned games, even when not installed | Your Steam account | Account linked, “Game details” profile setting public |
| Family library games | Your Steam account | Same |
| Playtime per game | Your Steam account | Same |
| Wishlist | Your Steam account | Same |
| Friends, and what they're playing | Your Steam account | Friends list not private |
| Covers, descriptions and genres, in your language | The Steam Store | Nothing |
A game launches from Torii the same way it does from Steam: the click hands over to Steam, which does what it has always done. Torii doesn't sit in between and doesn't replace the client — it has neither the ambition nor the rights to.
Owning a game and having it installed are two things
That's the difference that makes the question interesting. Plenty of tools just list what takes up space on your disk: you find the ten installed games, not the three hundred bought on sale and never launched.
Torii shows both, and says which is which. An Installed filter shows what's ready to play; without it, you see your whole collection, across every store. It's also the only way to answer “do I already own this one?” before buying it again somewhere else.
Your whole family library, without confusion over who owns what
Games shared by your Steam family appear with yours, tagged Steam family. They aren't counted as games you own, and that's deliberate: a family copy is still a single license, and two people can't play it at the same time. Presenting them as owned would be lying about what you can launch tonight.
The same game bought twice shows up once
Plenty of games end up in two libraries — free on Epic, on sale on Steam, part of a GOG bundle. Torii matches them by title and keeps a single card, showing the stores where you have it. You choose where to launch it from.
Your Steam friends, next to the ones who aren't on Steam
Torii picks up your Steam friends list and shows who's playing what. The point isn't to redo what Steam already does: it's that this list mixes with your friends from elsewhere. An In common view cross-checks your library with theirs, whatever the launcher, to answer the only question that matters on a weeknight — what can we play together.
This part is optional and off by default. Nothing from your library leaves your PC until you turn it on, hidden games are never included, and no history of what you play is kept.
What Torii doesn't do with Steam
Better to say it before you install than after.
- It doesn't install or uninstall for you. Those actions belong to the Steam client; Torii opens Steam and lets it do the job.
- It doesn't add anything to your Steam wishlist. The interface that allowed it from outside Steam no longer exists. Torii reads your wishlist, it doesn't write to it.
- It can't see anything from a private profile. If “Game details” is set to private, your owned games won't come through — installed games will, since they're on your disk.
- It doesn't deal with trading cards or your inventory. Torii shows a game's achievements on its page; for the rest, Steam is already there.
- It isn't a Steam client. No store, no forums, no chat. Steam stays installed and keeps doing its job.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to give Torii my Steam password?
No. Signing in happens in a window that opens Steam's own sign-in page: you sign in with Steam, as you would in a browser. Torii never sees your password and doesn't store it anywhere.
Do my Steam games show up without connecting my account?
The installed ones do, right away: Torii reads them from Steam's files on your disk. To see the games you own but haven't installed, your playtime and your friends, you need to link the account.
My owned games don't show up — why?
Almost always profile privacy. On your Steam profile: Edit Profile → Privacy Settings → Game details must be set to Public. It's that specific setting, not the profile's own visibility, that makes the list readable.
Does Torii replace Steam?
No, and that's not the goal. Steam downloads, updates and launches games; Torii gives the overview no launcher can give, since each one only knows its own games. Both stay installed.
What if I don't have Steam, only Epic or GOG?
It works the same way. Steam isn't required: Epic, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, EA, Battle.net and Riot are supported the same way, and games installed without any launcher are detected on your disk.
