General Settings
Always Online
Prevents Steam from setting your status as away while SGI is running
When enabled, SGI will automatically switch your Steam status back to online if it changes to away, offline, or invisible while the app is running. This is useful when you want to appear active on Steam while games are idling in the background.
Run At Startup
Automatically launch SGI when Windows starts
SGI will be added to your Windows startup programs so it runs in the background whenever you log in, without needing to open it manually. Works best when paired with Start Minimized.
Start Minimized
Launch SGI to the system tray instead of showing the main window
When enabled, SGI opens silently in the background on startup. You can access it at any time by clicking the SGI icon in the system tray. Pairs well with Run At Startup for a fully hands-off setup.
Close to Tray
Keep SGI running when you close the window
When enabled, clicking the X button minimizes SGI to the system tray instead of exiting it. To fully close the app, right-click the system tray icon and select Quit.
Automatically Update Games List
Automatically refresh your games list every 15 minutes (Pro — Gamer tier)
When enabled, SGI periodically checks for changes to your Steam library — such as newly purchased or removed games — and updates the list without requiring a manual refresh.
Discord Rich Presence
Show your SGI activity as your Discord status
When enabled, your Discord profile will display what SGI is currently doing, such as which game is being idled or which automation is running.
Language
Choose the display language for SGI
The language is set automatically based on your system settings, but you can change it to any supported language from the dropdown. If you'd like to help translate SGI into your language, see the contribution guide.
Currency
Choose the currency used for price display in SGI
This affects prices shown in the Inventory Manager, including suggested sell prices fetched from the Steam marketplace.
Steam Web API Key
Use your own Steam Web API key to access private profile data
By default, SGI fetches your profile and game data from public Steam APIs. Providing your own API key lets SGI access data even when your Steam profile is set to private.
- API keys are free for all Steam accounts — get yours here
- The API key must belong to the same Steam account you're signed into in SGI. If you use multiple accounts, you'll need to set the key for each one separately
- Some features may still be limited with a private profile even with an API key
