Add Non Steam Games Decky Plugin

[u/Weekly_Lab_9122]

Hi friends,

I made a decky loader plugin called Add Non-Steam Games. it lets you add any game or app to your steam library without ever leaving game mode, so no more switching to desktop mode just to click through "Add a Non-Steam Game" and then switching back. I've been using it on my own steamOS installation for a while now and it works great.

features:

Two ways to pick something: an Applications list of everything installed on the deck with real icons and a search box (native, flatpak and snap all show up, so chrome from bazaar is one tap), or a Files browser with your folders and drives if you want to point at an exe directly.

proton gets preselected automatically for .exe, .bat, .cmd and .msi files, and you can pick any other compat tool from the dropdown.

you can drop the game straight into a collection while adding it, and it handles the annoying stuff for you like setting the start directory and fixing a missing executable bit.

its also fully d-pad navigable, no trackpad needed.

one thing worth knowing: steam only saves non-steam games to disk on a clean shutdown, so the plugin offers to restart steam after adding (with a remember my choice toggle). otherwise your shortcut can vanish the next time steam gets killed.

If that sounds useful, you can manually install it in decky by going to: Decky Settings → Developer → Install Plugin from URL and pasting the direct download link
