What it does

Every game you own, boxed and on display.

V-Shelf finds your games, grabs their box art, and stacks them on the shelf of a room you pick. It sits behind your desktop icons like any wallpaper, so your library is always one click away.

Real box art

Covers come straight from Steam, including brand-new releases.

Click to play

Pull a case off the shelf to play it, install it, or open its store page.

Sort and filter

By name, playtime, recently played, installed or not, and genre.

Pick your room

Cyberpunk Bedroom and Lofi Apartment at launch, with more rooms to come.

Hovering a game case on the shelf shows a large preview with its playtime and when it was last played.

Pick one

Pull it off the shelf.

Click any case and it slides out as a full boxed copy, with your playtime, when you last played, and a big Play button. Not installed? Install it or open its store page from the same spot, then put it back on the shelf.

A selected game, Sunset Courier, pulled off the shelf as a 3D box next to a panel with its genre, playtime, last played date and a Play button.

Questions

FAQ

When does it launch, and how much will it cost?

It's in testing now. It'll be a small one-time price, no subscription. Join the list and you'll get one email the day it's out.

What do I need to run it?

A Windows PC with Steam. At launch, V-Shelf runs inside Wallpaper Engine or the free Lively Wallpaper app.

Is my Steam account safe?

V-Shelf never asks for your Steam password. It reads the library files already on your PC and only talks to Steam's public store to fetch box art and genres. To show games you own but haven't installed, you can optionally paste a free Steam Web API key, which stays on your computer.

What about Epic, GOG or Xbox games?

Steam comes first. Other launchers are on the list for later.

Does it slow down my PC or games?

It's a light web wallpaper. Wallpaper Engine and Lively both pause wallpapers automatically while you're playing a game in full screen.

Was AI used to make it?

Yes. The room art and the city loop in the window were generated with AI (Google Flow), then keyed, stabilized and assembled by hand. The shelf, the box art loading and the app itself are built by hand.
