Games Like Swiss Tool for Gamers

Every PC gamer ends up running a handful of tools alongside Steam.

A crosshair overlay for games that hide their aim. A save-backup script copy-pasted from a forum. A sticky note for quest details. And something to notice when Steam Cloud tries to overwrite your last hour of progress. Swiss Tool for Gamers is all of that in one place.

🎯 Design your own crosshair. Use it on any game.

A transparent, always-on-top crosshair overlay — the same OS-level technique OBS, Discord, and ShadowPlay use. Configure shape (cross, dot, circle, X, cross-dot), size, thickness, gap, color, outline, and offset. Save a different profile per game. Have the crosshair auto-appear when that game launches and vanish when it closes.

💾 Version control for your save files

Timestamped, hash-verified snapshots of your save files. Take them manually, on a schedule, or automatically every time you exit a tracked game. Restore any past snapshot in two clicks — a pre-restore snapshot is taken first so the action is always reversible. Configurable retention policy so you don't fill your disk.

☁ Catch Steam Cloud conflicts before they hurt

Swiss Tool parses Steam's own remotecache.vdf and diffs it against your actual save files. If Steam Cloud is about to overwrite your local saves with a stale copy — or vice versa — you'll see it before you launch. No more accidentally losing an hour of progress to a failed sync.

📝 Always-on-top notepad

A transparent notepad window for build orders, crafting recipes, boss weak points, friend codes — anything you'd normally alt-tab out of the game for. Autosaves to plain text so you can open it in any editor.

🧰 What sets it apart

👥 Who it's for

⚠ Anti-cheat notice (please read)

Swiss Tool's crosshair draws a transparent OS-level window — identical to how OBS, Discord Overlay, and ShadowPlay work. In single-player and casual multiplayer games this is fine. In competitive titles with strict anti-cheat (Valorant/Vanguard, CS2/VAC, Apex/EAC), overlays may be detected and lead to bans. Disable the crosshair for those games — the save-backup and notepad features remain safe to use.

🔒 Your data stays yours

No network calls. No telemetry. No account required. Everything runs locally. Save snapshots are stored as ordinary ZIP files you can open with any archiver. The app is fully offline by design.

🚧 Actively developed — you're buying into a growing tool
