Frequently Asked Questions

DeckFilter Basics

What exactly does DeckFilter do?

DeckFilter helps Steam Deck players sort through their Steam library and wishlist so it is easier to find a game that fits the moment, the device, and the time you have.

On which devices can I use DeckFilter?

DeckFilter is available for iOS and Android, so you can browse and organize your Steam games from your phone or tablet.

How exactly does DeckFilter improve my gaming?

DeckFilter helps before the game starts. Instead of jumping around for context, you can see whether a game fits your Deck, your time, and the kind of session you want.

Who benefits the most from using DeckFilter?

DeckFilter is most useful when your Steam backlog has grown past what you can comfortably scan and you want a faster way to choose what comes next.

Library, Wishlist, And Filters

Is it possible to organize my Steam wishlist using DeckFilter?

Yes. DeckFilter includes a wishlist section so you can browse, filter, and compare the Steam games you are interested in.

In what ways does DeckFilter assist me in tackling my game backlog?

DeckFilter turns the backlog into smaller choices. You can start with what you feel like playing, then narrow the list until only a few realistic options are left.

Can DeckFilter uncover hidden gems in my Steam library?

Yes. By filtering your own library in different ways, DeckFilter can surface games you already own but may have forgotten or overlooked.

How does DeckFilter help me manage my gaming time?

DeckFilter shows completion-time context so you can pick something that fits a short session, a weekend, or a longer backlog project.

How does DeckFilter figure out which games I will like?

DeckFilter does not try to guess your taste with a black-box recommendation engine. It gives you filters and context so you can make a better choice from your own games.

Privacy, Pricing, And Support

What kind of information does DeckFilter use from me?

DeckFilter works with your Steam library and wishlist data so it can build the views inside the app. The app is designed around local organization and does not need a DeckFilter account.

How much does it cost to use DeckFilter?

DeckFilter is a paid app. The current price is shown directly in the App Store and Google Play, because store pricing can vary by region and change over time.

Can I get a refund if I do not like the app?

Refunds are handled by the store where you bought the app. Apple refunds can be requested through reportaproblem.apple.com. Google Play refunds can be requested through Google Play, depending on the purchase age and local store rules.

What if I need help or have questions about DeckFilter?

Use the help section in the app or reach out through the DeckFilter community links such as Reddit, X/Twitter, Discord, or email.

Why did you make DeckFilter a paid app instead of free with ads?

DeckFilter is meant to be focused and calm to use. A paid app avoids ads, tracking-heavy monetization, and interruptions while you are choosing what to play.

Is there a way to use DeckFilter without paying?

The full app is paid, but the DeckFilter website includes free demo pages and tools that show parts of the experience.

Features And Compatibility

What options are there to customize DeckFilter’s appearance?

DeckFilter includes appearance settings such as dark and light mode options, startup display choices, tab label options, and theme-color customization.

The Changelog lists recent app updates, fixes, and feature releases.

What updates are coming to DeckFilter?

Take a look at the Roadmap for planned features and shipped improvements.

Why does DeckFilter stand out for Steam Deck users?

DeckFilter is built around the Steam Deck decision itself: is this game worth launching here, and does it fit the time I have?

Will DeckFilter be useful for gamers using platforms other than Steam?

DeckFilter is focused on Steam right now. Broader platform support may be considered later, but Steam and Steam Deck use cases are the current priority.

How will DeckFilter guide me to the best settings for each game on my Steam Deck?

DeckFilter and DeckSettings point you toward community compatibility and settings notes when you want more confidence before you play.

Does DeckFilter support Steam family sharing?

Not currently. Steam family sharing is limited by what the Steam APIs expose, so DeckFilter cannot reliably sync shared libraries at the moment.

Will using DeckFilter make gaming more enjoyable for me?

DeckFilter cannot play the games for you, but it can reduce the scrolling, second-guessing, and library overwhelm that often gets in the way of starting a game.
