We don't play the feature-gating game. The free tier gets the same toolkit as Lifetime - paid plans just add hours and simultaneous games.
The core of the service: our servers keep your account in-game around the clock via Steam's own network protocol. Nothing installs on your machine, your PC can stay off, and playtime accrues 24 hours a day - 168 hours a week, per game, on every game you select.
Steam allows one account to register playtime in up to 32 games simultaneously - we support the full limit. Every selected game gains hours at the same time, so a week of idling can add 168 hours to 32 different games at once.
Paid games drop Steam trading cards based on playtime. With Card Farmer on, we track your remaining drops and rotate idle slots away from farmed-out games so your hours always work toward cards that still exist. Cards land in your inventory ready to sell, trade, or craft.
Steam hiccups, sessions drop, maintenance happens. The auto-restarter reconnects with exponential backoff the moment your session drops, so an overnight disconnect costs you minutes, not the whole night.
Steam only allows one game session per account. When you launch a game yourself, we detect it instantly, step aside, and resume when you log off. You never see a session conflict, and hours you play yourself count on top of boosted ones.
Replace the game name your friends see with any text - a clan tag, 'in ranked', a meme. The custom title occupies your first idle slot while the rest of your games boost normally behind it.
Choose how you appear on your friends list while idling: Online, Away, Snooze, or Invisible. Your profile keeps accumulating hours in every mode.
Combine Invisible mode with hidden game status: friends see nothing while your hours climb. Perfect for quietly rebuilding an alt's playtime.
Friends who message you mid-idle get an automatic reply you write yourself. Rate-limited to once per friend per day so it stays helpful, never spammy.
Streamers and traders: incoming friend requests are accepted automatically while you idle. Toggle it off any time if you prefer to curate.
