About This Software

One toolkit for everything that happens around your games

A game patches itself and your save stops loading. A shader cache eats 6 GB. You want a crosshair in a game that hides it, music while you grind, and a backup before the boss fight. Swiss Tool for Gamers does all of that from one small window, made by Mad Octopus.

🛟 Save rescue

When every save is older than the game's latest Steam update, Swiss Tool tells you, and if the game now crashes or won't load, one click moves the old saves aside. The game starts fresh, and your saves come back with one more click whenever you want them.

• Save file browser: every file in a game's save folder, labelled Save, Settings, Cache or Logs, with sizes and dates
  
• Quarantine broken saves instead of deleting them
  
• Safe delete: a snapshot is taken first, then files go to the Recycle Bin
  
• Steam Cloud aware: we warn you when Steam would download deleted saves back
  
• Nothing is touched while the game is running

💾 Version control for your saves

Timestamped, hash-verified snapshots: manual, on a schedule, or every time you quit a game. Restore any version in two clicks (your current state is backed up first). Caches and logs are left out automatically, so a 226 MB save folder becomes a 270 KB backup. Optional copy of every snapshot into your OneDrive, Dropbox or Google Drive folder. No accounts, Swiss Tool just copies the ZIP files there.

🧹 PC cleanup

Clear NVIDIA, AMD and Intel shader caches, the DirectX shader cache, Steam's web cache and per-game shader caches. It is the classic fix for stutter after a driver update, and it often frees several gigabytes. Per-game cache and log cleanup lives right next to your saves.

🎯 Crosshair overlay

A transparent, click-through, always-on-top crosshair. Pick a ready-made design or build your own (cross, dot, circle, X, cross with dot; size, thickness, gap, colour, outline, offset). Save one per game, show it automatically when that game starts, switch designs with a hotkey.

📻 Game Radio

Video game music, synthwave, lo-fi, chill, electronic, rock and metal stations built in, plus search across 30,000 stations from the community radio-browser.info directory. Favourites, recently played and your own stream URLs. Control it with hotkeys without leaving your game.

🔥 Hot Deals

Live Steam specials sorted by the biggest discount, in your own currency. Filter 50, 75 or 90% off, spot free-to-keep giveaways first, hide games you already have.

⌨ Global hotkeys

Snapshot the game you are playing, toggle the crosshair or notepad, control the radio, all from inside your game. Fully rebindable.

📝 Always-on-top notepad

Build orders, recipes, quest steps, friend codes. Stays above your game, autosaves to plain text.

⚠ Anti-cheat notice

The crosshair is a transparent OS-level window, the same technique OBS and Discord use. It is fine in single-player and casual games. Competitive titles with strict anti-cheat (Valorant, CS2, Apex and similar) may flag overlays, so keep the crosshair off there. Everything else in the toolkit is safe to use. Overlays need Borderless Windowed mode.

🔒 Your data stays yours

No account, no telemetry. Your settings, notes and backups live on your PC. Only Game Radio and Hot Deals go online, and only when you click them.
