2.0 - Redesign, Acheivements & More!

Glyphy 2.0

Glyphy 2.0 is a full redesign of the app and the overlay, with new pages, DLC tags, guide requests, an account switcher and 25 Steam achievements.

Redesign

• New visual design in dark and light, with new icons, buttons, menus and switches.
• No title bar: the page runs to the window edges, with the window buttons in a corner notch.
• New sidebar: Home, Library, Guides, Charts, then your account and Settings. It folds to an icon rail with hover labels (edge tab or Ctrl+B), folds by itself in narrow windows, and remembers its state.
• The account row shows your Steam avatar and sync status, with Refresh now and Retry (F5).
• Library, Guides and Charts fit narrow windows.
• Restyled tray menu.

Home

• Leads with your last played game: art, progress, recently earned icons, and Next up from its guide.
• Two rows of Recently played, plus Almost there (the games with the fewest achievements left).
• Right-click menus on the hero, cards and Almost there tiles.
• Game cards lift and tilt on hover.

Library

• Status segments (All, In progress, Perfect, Not started) with live counts.
• Filter panel: installed, has a guide, requires DLC, hidden, completion, playtime and last played.
• Display menu: sort, order, and Grid or List.
• New List view: a table with sortable headers. Click the current header to flip the order.
• The Library controls are now sticky.
• Card menu (the three dots or right click): Launch in Steam, Preview overlay, Open guide, Automatic overlay switch, Hide.

Game page

• One scrolling page replaces the tabs: hero, progress over time, then the full achievement table with All, Earned, Not earned and search.
• Each row opens that achievement in Guides.
• "Request a guide" button for games without one.
• Removed: the per-game statistics share.

Guides

• One split card: the achievement list on the left, the reader on the right, with a game bar and game picker above.
• Sorts: Guide order, Missable first, Rarest first, A to Z, Steam order, plus reverse.
• Focus mode hides the list.
• Warning and tip steps are marked with an icon.
• Checklists read "Name · Location", can be grouped, and can be marked "In order".
• Glitch risk and DLC flags show in the reader and in the overlay's Before you start.

New pages: What's new and Requests

What's new

• Guides added or updated in the last 90 days, your games first.

Requests

• A public board of the most requested games without a guide.
• Vote for up to five games, search to request any game, and get suggestions from your recently played games.
• Votes respond instantly, and can be taken back after one hour. A countdown shows the minutes left.
• When a game you voted for gets a guide, your vote comes back and What's new tells you.

Needs DLC tags

Games that need DLC to reach 100% are now tagged across the app. This only works for games that have a guide, because Steam does not provide this information through its APIs.

Charts

• Stats strip: overall progress, perfect games, average completion, total playtime.
• Activity chart over 30 days, 26 weeks or 24 months, with a trend line and a details column.
• Library progress, Closest to completion, and Rarest achievements.
• New Unlocks page: every unlock by day, filtered by period (presets or a calendar) and game, searchable.
• Share is now its own page: preview, Show my Steam name switch, Copy image, Save PNG.

Overlay

• Three clear stages: collapsed, at rest, and with controls. The chevron drives them, window focus no longer does.
• New hotkey for showing and hiding the controls (Ctrl+Alt+C by default), separate from the toggle hotkey.
• Restyled card with a Summary / Guide switch, numbered step boxes, and an order menu in the header.
• The opacity slider runs from 0% to 100% in 1% steps, and the chevron stays visible at any opacity.
• The OBS setting now explains how to keep Window Capture attached to the overlay (match by title).

Settings

• Settings is now a floating panel inside the main window, not a separate window. Changes apply as you make them.
• Sections: General, About, Overlay, Shortcuts, with a settings search.
• Shortcuts flag conflicts and can all be reset.
• New "Exit on close" setting: the close button quits Glyphy instead of hiding it in the tray.
• The Overlay section lists the games whose overlay is turned off, with Allow again.

Accounts

• The account menu lists every Steam account that has signed in on this PC and can show any of them.
• Only the signed-in account syncs. Other accounts show their last snapshot and say "Not signed in".

Tutorial

• Restyled to the new design, with a step meter and a new highlight ring.
• 10 steps, rewritten for the new pages.
• A game without a guide no longer stalls the tutorial.
• Escape ends the tutorial, and it can no longer get stuck.

Steam achievements

• Glyphy now has 25 Steam achievements of its own.
• Glyphy now appears in its own library.

Performance

• Faster startup.
• Page switches are near instant, and pages keep their scroll position.
• Long lists (guides, unlocks, What's new, Requests) only build the rows on screen.
• Smooth sidebar fold, including in the first seconds after launch.

Fixes

• Fixed a crash with large libraries.
• Fixed Guides staying on "Loading achievements" with an empty library.
• Fixed the game page saying "Not played yet" for a game with playtime.
• Fixed the account menu's corners on the light theme.

Linux

• Windows and Linux now ship as one Steam build. Linux players just click Install; the linux-beta branch is no longer needed.
