Carry your unfinished Steam achievements with you as your next goals. Check unlock requirements on your iPhone without pausing your game to open Steam. ■ MADE FOR YOU IF YOU… • Have a game that's just a few achievements away from 100% • Keep looking up achievement requirements while you play • Plan which achievements to chase next even when you're not playing ■ WHAT YOU CAN DO ◆ Turn locked achievements into tasks Add the achievements you want to Planned, then move them to In Progress when you start working on them. Reorder them by hand to decide what to chase first. ◆ No need to check things off Tasks are completed automatically when you sync with Steam, so you never forget to mark an unlock. Unlocka cannot unlock achievements on Steam. ◆ See rarity at a glance Each achievement's global unlock rate is sorted into five rarity tiers, from Common to Legendary, so you can spot the hardest part of a 100% run early. ◆ Keep your own notes, even for hidden achievements Write down what you learn, even for achievements whose requirements aren't public. Search for guides right from the achievement. ◆ Focus on the game you're playing While a game is running on Steam, Home and Tasks focus on that game. When you've finished its achievements, the view goes back to everything. ◆ Home Screen widget Show your In Progress tasks on your Home Screen in small, medium, or large sizes. ◆ Separate data for each account With Unlocka+, you can switch between multiple Steam profiles. Tasks, notes, and order are saved per account and never mix. ■ FREE PLAN AND UNLOCKA+ The free plan lets you choose and manage 3 games. You can swap them as often as you like, and a game confirmed as being played doesn't use a slot. Tasks and notes for games you remove stay available to view and edit. Unlocka+ is a one-time purchase. It unlocks unlimited game slots, automatic sync when you open or return to the app, switching between multiple accounts, and features added in the future. There are no monthly or yearly fees. The price is shown on the purchase screen. You can restore your purchase with the same Apple Account. ■ ABOUT YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT • You never need to sign in to Steam or enter your password • Try the sample first, with no ID and no terms to accept • To see your own achievements, agree to have your public profile read, then enter your profile URL, custom ID, or 17-digit SteamID64 • Set both "My profile" and "Game details" to Public in Steam's privacy settings • There is no account verification. Please add only profiles you manage ■ READ-ONLY Unlocka can't unlock achievements or change any data on Steam. It only shows public information. Tasks and notes are stored on your device and are never sent to a server. ■ UNOFFICIAL APP Unlocka is not provided or endorsed by Valve Corporation.
