Introduction
SHB (Steam Hour Boost) — Discord bot for Steam playtime boosting with licenses, multi-account support, and rich per-account configuration.
What is SHB?
SHB is a Discord bot that helps you add hours on Steam (“hour boosting”): your linked Steam accounts can appear as playing games so playtime goes up, even while you are away from the PC.
You use a license key (from whoever runs the bot), add your Steam accounts in Discord, then turn boosting on or off from the bot’s menu. Most people only need the /gui command—that opens the main control panel.
What you can do (in everyday terms)
- Boost hours — Start or stop boosting per Steam account; pick which games count toward playtime.
- Several Steam accounts — If your license allows it, link more than one Steam login under your Discord user.
- Customize how you look on Steam — Set online status, optional custom “now playing” text, and more (per account).
- Optional extras — Reply to Steam DMs automatically, forward Steam chats to Discord, get trade alerts, accept free trades or gifts, and idle for trading cards while boosting (all explained under Features).
Who does what?

Your Steam password and secrets are stored encrypted on the bot’s machine. Read Security for the full picture.
