A privacy-first Windows game tracker that unifies playtime across every launcher.
Track your gaming time in one place, whether you launch games from Steam, Epic Games, Riot Client, Xbox App, Battle.net, GOG, desktop shortcuts, or directly from an executable. No accounts. No subscriptions. No telemetry. No internet connection required. Built for gamers who want accurate playtime tracking without being locked into a specific platform.
Modern PC gaming is fragmented. Your playtime is spread across multiple launchers, stores, and standalone games. Steam tracks Steam games. Epic tracks Epic games. Everything else gets lost. ReSpawn solves that problem by monitoring game processes directly on Windows and automatically recording playtime regardless of where the game was launched.
- Track all your games in one library
- Automatically record playtime across launchers
- Launch games from a single place
- Keep complete ownership of your data
- Use the application completely offline
- Avoid accounts, subscriptions, and cloud lock-in
See your entire gaming collection and playtime in one place instead of jumping between launchers.
Track gameplay whether a game is launched from Steam, Epic Games, Riot Client, Xbox App, a desktop shortcut, or directly from an executable.
No telemetry. No analytics. No tracking. No data collection. Everything stays on your PC.
Built with C# and .NET 8 using WPF for a fast, responsive Windows experience. Uses less than 30 MB of memory while idle.
ReSpawn never requires an internet connection and never sends data anywhere.

ReSpawn monitors registered game processes in the background. The launcher used does not matter. When the game starts, tracking begins automatically. When the game closes, the session is saved and total playtime is updated instantly.
Privacy is a core design principle.
