navig-games

Find & auto-claim FREE games across storefronts — surfaced as navig games. A first-party NAVIG plugin (free, toggleable). Phase 1 ships the Epic Games Store end-to-end; GOG, Amazon Prime Gaming and a Steam suite follow.

FREE-ONLY — never spends money. The claim engine only ever completes a $0 checkout. Any title with a real price is refused. Three independent gates enforce this: (A) the store API reports a $0 discounted price, (B) the store CTA reads "Get" (Epic never shows "Get" for a priced game), and (C) the checkout overlay total is re-read and must not show a positive amount before the order is placed. Any parse failure resolves toward refuse.

Quick start

# Free games (Epic)
navig games check                 # what's free right now (+ --upcoming, --json)
navig games login epic            # one-time sign-in; session saved to the vault
navig games claim --dry-run       # verify free & stop before ordering (proof)
navig games claim                 # claim the current freebies (confirm prompt)
navig games schedule enable       # auto-claim on a schedule (daily by default)

# Library (Steam / Epic / GOG / Amazon)
navig games library               # every installed game across your launchers
navig games unify                 # add your games to Steam (shortcuts.vdf) + cover art
navig games art <game>            # fetch/refresh Steam cover art (--all, --portrait, …)
navig games art --set-key <key>   # save a SteamGridDB key for full portrait grids
navig games deals                 # price drops + free-to-keep on your Steam wishlist
navig games schedule enable --job deals    # daily deal alerts (notify)
navig games schedule enable --job unify    # keep Steam synced with new installs
navig games doctor                # full self-check across every subsystem
navig games steam auth --mafile x # store a Steam Guard secret in the vault
navig games steam code            # current Steam Guard 2FA code

How it works

Layer What it does Reuses (navig-core)
Sourcing Epic's public freeGamesPromotions API → current/upcoming free games requests
Claim Persistent, isolated browser → session-first login → $0 checkout navig.browser.cdp_actions, autofill, session_manager
Vault Store the login session once, restore it thereafter navig.vault.sessions / logins / totp
Ledger Idempotent record of claimed games (never claim twice) navig.platform.paths
Schedule Recurring auto-claim job core CronService (cron_jobs.json)
Notify "Claimed X" fan-out to Telegram / desktop / deck navig.notify.dispatch
Library Scan installed games from launcher manifests (no login) Windows registry / VDF / SQLite
Unify Add non-Steam games to Steam (shortcuts.vdf, backup + dedupe) own binary-VDF codec
Cover art Steam grid art for unified games (GOG-local keyless · SteamGridDB opt) requests
Deals Wishlist price-drop + free-to-keep alerts (keyless Steam APIs, alert-once) sourcing spine + navig.notify
Steam Guard 5-char 2FA code from a vaulted shared_secret navig.vault
Agent games_check · games_library · games_deals (read-only) · games_claim (owner-only) navig.tools.BaseTool
Deck API /api/deck/games/{status,free,deals,library} for deck/OS/remote gateway:register_routes hook (aiohttp)

Design notes

  • The Epic claim flow and the Steam-library discovery are implemented natively — first-party code end-to-end, no third-party engine imported.
  • First run requires navig games login epic once (Epic mandates a real sign-in); after that, claims restore the vaulted session with no password typed.
  • Captcha / un-handleable 2FA stops the run and notifies "needs you" — it never loops or guesses.

Roadmap

  • Phase 1 — Epic free-game auto-claim
  • Phase 4 — unify launchers into Steam · Steam Guard TOTP · cover art · wishlist deals watcher
  • Phase 2 GOG free-game claim · Phase 3 Amazon Prime Gaming claim
  • Phase 4 (rest) — Steam achievements · cloud-save sync
  • Phase 5 — deck/OS "Games" dashboard (free-game feed + deals + one-click unify)
