**Quickly emulate launching games from a list, for given seconds each.**


Either create an `appids.txt` file, and enter Steam AppIDs to idle (comma and/or line seperated), or launch `TcNo-Mass-Account-Idler.exe` and enter AppIDs seperately.

The app will also ask for time to idle games. Enter 1 or 2 to quickly idle games, say for the Steam Next Fest (just launch games for a badge), or longer for manual idle.

**While you're here, check out the [TcNo Account Switcher](https://github.com/TcNobo/TcNo-Acc-Switcher). It's super fast, and works with TONS of platforms - not just Steam!**

# How does it work?

The main program opens `idle.exe` with a time to idle (in ms), as well as an ID. `steam_appid.txt` is set to the current AppID to idle, and automatically works with Steamworks-NET.

The `TcNo-Mass-Idler-Auto.exe` program automatically manages everything. It will activate 50 new keys, then idle each game for 5 seconds, and restarts itself every hour.

When you've run through everything in your `appids.txt` file, create `skipcheck.txt` and delete `idle_queue.txt` in the install folder to run through everything again on the next launch. This makes sure everything was idled properly, and can fix anything that was missed.

# PLEASE NOTE:

You can only activate 50 free games/demos per hour. The program does it's best to explain this.

If the Steam Store starts opening or you receive SteamAPI errors in the console, wait an hour and retry.

## Want to get rid of the demos in your account?

After adding thousands of demos and free games you likely want to remove them. Simply check the guide [HERE](https://github.com/TcNobo/TcNo-Mass-Steam-Idler/blob/main/Mass_Remove.md) to see what you need to do - There's a video included too!
