How to use

1. Unpack the archive to desired folder
2. Run the exe (Do NOT change the name of the executable!)

• Because this program is not code-signed, Windows SmartScreen might pop up. Click 'More info' and then 'Run anyway'.

3. Import accounts from Steam or add them manually via Menu > Add accounts

• Your account names are saved in accounts.yml located in the same folder where exe file is.

4. Click one of the buttons to change to desired account.

• Steam login prompt might appear if you are using this program for the first time. Just check 'Remember password' and login. It will work next time.
  • You need to do this for every account except the one you have been using as autologin account prior to using this program.
  • If you ever add more accounts, you have to do this for them as well. And if you don't login to certain account for a while, you will have to do this again for that account due to Steam revoking autologin access.

FAQ

• Login prompt appears! Fake program!

  • See How to use-4. Right above.

• Windows SmartScreen says this program is potentially harmful!

  • That's because I didn't sign my executable with EV certificate which costs money. As you know, this program is free. Also, it's malicious code-free, so don't worry about it.

• I have a request! / I found a bug!

  • Bug reports and requests are always welcome. Please submit an issue.

• Some of the elements in settings are missing!

  • Delete config.yml and launch application again.
