GameShelf
Every game from Steam, Epic, GOG, Battle.net, EA, Ubisoft, Xbox and Riot: art, playtime and what's running. Tap to play, hold for favorites, categories and more.
A built-in Spacedash widget for your Windows 11 or 10 desktop, at any size next to your other widgets. It works on the XENEON EDGE too. It's part of Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.

Questions
Is the Spacedash GameShelf widget free?
No, GameShelf is a Premium widget. Spacedash itself is free; Premium is an optional one-time upgrade of $19.99, with no subscription, that adds GameShelf and the other Premium widgets.
Do I need a XENEON EDGE to use the GameShelf widget?
No. Spacedash runs on any monitor on Windows 10 or 11, and on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE in Desktop Mode or, inside iCUE, in Widget Mode.
What can I change on the GameShelf widget?
53 options, such as design, edited design, covers and cover size. They're grouped as style, library, show, words, behaviour and colours. Every widget also takes your own font, text size and look.
Can I move or hide parts of the GameShelf widget?
Yes. Its parts (covers and art, badges and icons, names and logos, playtime, last played, launcher, achievements, now playing, title, count and total, playtime bars, buttons, arrows, edge fade and messages) can each be resized, restyled or hidden under Customize → Layout.
