A best of three

Three steps. Nothing to install.

Nothing runs on your PC: it all happens on our workers, and you stay in control from any browser.

  1. Round 1 · Scan

    Scan the QR code

    With the Steam Mobile app. Steam issues a session token you can revoke anytime. Your password never leaves your phone.

  2. Round 2 · Pick

    Pick your games

    Up to 32 titles from your library, all at once. Change the selection anytime — the session updates within a second.

  3. Round 3 · Close the tab

    Close the tab

    It keeps going without you. Launch a game yourself and we pause; quit, and we pick up right where we left off.

The line-up

Everything AFK Hours does while you sleep.

Idling is the start. Cards, achievements, schedules, goals and free games run from the same servers, with nothing on your PC. Every line below shows up on your dashboard in the morning.

  • Trading-card farmer

    Paid plans

    Reads your badges, plays the games that still drop, one at a time the way Steam drops them, then goes back to your list.

  • Achievement unlocker

    Pro · Ultra

    Tick the achievements to unlock, or untick to lock again. Apply now, or spread them one every 10 to 60 minutes so the profile fills in naturally.

  • Schedules & hour goals

    Pro · Ultra

    Only the days and hours you pick, in your time zone. Set the hours you want per game: it leaves the list when reached, the account stops when the list is done.

  • Every plan

    Always on, 32 games at once

    Steam's own limit, every game collecting the same minutes, 24/7 from our servers. The Free plan idles 3 games, with no daily limit.

  • Every plan

    Auto-pause when you play

    Launch a game on your PC and we step aside within seconds; quit, and we pick up where we left off. No “logged in elsewhere” from us.

  • Paid plans

    Free games claimed automatically

    Games from your list you don't own yet, and every game the store gives away for a while, claimed on the account while it idles.

  • Paid plans

    Your own “now playing”

    A text of your choice, or a pinned game, is what your Steam profile shows while idling. The Free plan shows afkhours.com. You can also hide the games you idle from your recent activity.

  • Every plan

    Status, auto-reply, friend requests

    Online, away, busy or invisible while idling. One reply per friend per hour with your text. Requests accepted, declined or left alone.

  • Email everywhere

    Alerts and the morning report

    A session that drops, a cap, a goal, achievements done: by email on every plan, in your Discord channel on Pro and Ultra. Every morning, the night's summary.

  • Pro · Ultra

    Start, stop, copy across accounts

    5 accounts on Pro, 15 on Ultra. Start them all, stop them all, give every account the same game list in one click.

  • Every plan

    Ranking, badges and crates

    Hours idled across everyone, by month, week or game, with a day of plan for the month's #1. Badges in levels, and free crates every month: days of plan or a frame for your picture.
