What Achievement Scavenger is

Achievement Scavenger is a desktop companion for tracking game achievements and following completion guides. It monitors Steam, PlayStation, RetroAchievements, and Xbox progress while games are running, detects launched games, and displays live achievement status and rarity. It can capture a screenshot when an achievement unlocks and warn about missables 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 provide 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 free and GNU GPL licensed, with installations listed for Windows 10/11 and Linux/Steam Deck. Depending on the tracking services used, it may require API keys, tokens, or accounts. Hints, chapters, checklists, and missable flags come from a separate community database; users can contribute through a pre-filled GitHub pull request.
