Discovery
Find something to play with the curated Discovery views.
The Discovery button (top bar) curates your library into ready-to-play views so you never stare at an empty grid. It works entirely from local library data — no account or network required.
The views
| View | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Recently added | The newest imports |
| Never played | Games you have not launched yet |
| Continue playing | In-progress games you returned to recently |
| Highly rated | Top-rated games in your library |
| Short sessions | Games whose past sessions were short — good for a quick play |
| Random picks | A rotating set of surprise titles |
Each view lists up to 12 games and is regenerated as the library changes.
Use it
- Click Discovery in the top bar.
- Pick a view that matches your mood — Never played and Short sessions are the two most useful for deciding what to launch.
- Click any card to open its detail pane and play.
Because the views are computed from play_count, playtime_seconds, last_played, and rating, they get smarter as you play: titles you finish drop out of "Continue playing", and games you play briefly keep showing up in "Short sessions".
