## What is DeckFilter?

DeckFilter helps Steam Deck players choose what to play next from the Steam games they already own.

Sync your Steam library and wishlist, then turn a crowded backlog into a short list for tonight. Filter by Deck Verified status, SteamOS compatibility, ProtonDB tier, controller support, Steam reviews, tags, time-to-beat estimates, playtime, supported languages, achievement progress, prices, discounts, and skipped or unavailable items.

Use DeckFilter to:
- Find games that match your time, mood, language, and input preferences
- Compare Deck readiness, ProtonDB, Steam reviews, playtime, and community signals before launching
- Sort wishlist games by price, discount, release date, reviews, playtime, and Deck readiness
- Open SteamDeckHQ, ShareDeck, and DeckVerifiedGames reports from game details
- Save games with bookmarks and bookmark lists so your next picks are easy to revisit
- Browse Discover, featured creator playlists, recently played games, and Steam Store search results
- Keep skipped, unavailable, delisted, and country-restricted Steam items easier to manage

DeckFilter is built for large Steam libraries, long wishlists, and players who already check several sites before choosing a game. It brings the decision signals together so you spend less time comparing tabs and more time playing.

DeckFilter is an independent companion for Steam Deck players and is not affiliated with Valve or Steam.

### 5/5 — Die optimale Companion App für Deck Gamer

*2026-05-25*

Die App ist mein täglicher Begleiter beim Gaming auf dem Steam Deck. Ich nutze sie gerne um mein nächstes Spiel basierend auf der Spielzeit zu finden. Die namensgebenden Filter bieten mannigfaltige Möglichkeiten anhand zahlreicher Kriterien zur Sortierung der eigenen Spielebibliothek. Weiter finde ich hilfreiche Infos zur Performance auf dem Deck oder wie diese optimiert werden kann. Obendrein gibt es Spieleempfehlungen speziell für das Deck sowie direkten Zugriff auf den Steam Store. Jeder Deck Gamer macht mit dem Kauf dieser App nichts falsch 👌🏻

**Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank für die Bewertung! ❤️ So fängt der Tag doch gut an 😁

### 5/5 — Handy!

*2026-03-22*

I don’t play on my steam deck as much as I’d like.. (I have a gaming computer) but when I do, this app is so nice for seeing how well the games run on the steam deck. I feel like the one that comes with steam is decent but I feel it lacks transparency on how well it actually runs.. where the app tells you more detail on how it works. Plus the comments people post about how well it works or tweaks, is super helpful! Thanks for making this app!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! ❤️

### 3/5 — Good start, rough around the edges

*2026-02-17*

The basics are a good start, but there are some areas that need improvement. Some games from my library do not show up in the app. Hidden games o show up in the app.  The wishlist doesn’t seem to update, it’s’ still doesn’t have changes I made yesterday. Pull to refresh doesn’t work on any screen that I could find. It doesn’t remember new sort settings, I have to change them back every time I run the app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback 🙂 Wishlist sync is much more reliable now. v1.12 improves missing-game hints, persistent sorting, and soon pull-to-refresh.

I’d really appreciate an updated review after it lands ❤️ Happy to chat more on Discord too so feel free to join

### 3/5 — Headache start

*2025-12-25*

I heard about this app due to a sponsorship on deckready and it took me well over two hours to get this sorted. I started this process hopeful and with very minimal pc literacy so that wasnt doing me any favors. But i kept at it, i learned a lot and i finally got it to work two hours later. The major hangup it being christmas eve and repeated failure of the steam app, it not letting me get an api key, and the security thinking im a scammer. Lets hope your install is a lot smoother.

**Developer response:** Sorry setup was such a headache 😕 Steam’s API key flow can sometimes fail or trigger security checks outside my control. I’m adding clearer setup help and fallback tips. 👌 

I hope you still enjoy the app, and if it’s working well for you now, I’d really appreciate an updated rating in the future ❤️

### 5/5 — Solid

*2025-12-13*

I really like the app. Very handy for one place to view my Steam wishlist, ProtonDB, and options for purchasing games. Good on the developer for coming up with this app! I also look the look of it - clean and pops with game pics.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! ❤️

### 5/5 — Steam deck must have

*2025-12-01, version 1.11.4*

Great app for the steam deck enthusiasts

### 5/5 — It Does A lot

*2025-10-08*

This app does slot of stuff that would’ve had me opening a bunch of tabs in Chrome and the Steam app to check everything. It’s awesome how it’s all at your fingertips now and easily seen at a glance from ratings of how it is on the Deck to prices and your wish list too.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review ❤️

### 5/5 — Nice

*2025-10-05, version 1.10.3*

It does what it says and it’s a nice companion app for deck gaming

### 5/5 — Very much worth the money!

*2025-09-19*

Grabbed this after seeing it on deckready channel. It’s pretty fleshed out already and seems to have a promising roadmap. Definitely worth the £5 and I’m looking forward to seeing how it evolves in the future. Good work buddy 😊👍🏻

**Developer response:** Thank you so much ❤️

### 5/5 — Essential app organize Steam library!

*2025-08-01, version 1.10.2*

Highly recommend! Very user friendly and intuitive with lots of tools to manage and filter your Steam Library! 

👍👍👍
