Made for more than
one group of friends.
You shouldn’t have to rebuild a collection or send another wall of links whenever the plan changes.
Choose a few friends. Or everyone.
Browse one friend, a hand-picked group, or all compatible friends. Pick individual mods or install all available items from that group in one action.
Keep up at your own pace.
Install a list once, or follow future additions. Each game has its own Auto-sync switch in the sidebar. Activity shows who added a mod and when local files were detected.
A library that stays useful.
Find Workshop games by latest played or items shared between friends. Unavailable mods stay hidden by default. Choose from five color palettes, with dark, light, or system appearance.

A few things to know.
What can my friends see?
Connecting friend sharing enables subscription sharing for Workshop games by default. You can limit the game’s audience or turn sharing off in its Sharing menu. New named lists start private, and each list can be shared with all connected friends or selected friends. A private list does not hide items already shared through your subscription inventory. Local download history stays on your PC.
Will this start installing every new mod?
Automatic synchronization starts off for every game. Browsing, selecting, and one-time installs don’t turn it on. To keep up automatically, follow the friends or lists you want and separately enable that game’s Auto-sync switch.
Do both players need the app?
Both players need WorkshopSync to browse each other’s shared subscriptions and lists. If a friend doesn’t use it, you can still paste the Workshop links they send and subscribe to the items together.
What does “compatible friends” mean?
Steam friends who have connected to WorkshopSync and are sharing items for the selected game. It doesn’t check whether mods work together. Dependencies, load order, and game versions still depend on the game.
How are updates checked?
The app checks on startup and hourly while open. Each update is checked against a signed release catalog and installer checksums before it can run. This is separate from a Windows publisher certificate. Choose Download update, then Restart & update when you’re ready.
Is WorkshopSync made by Valve?
No. WorkshopSync is an independent companion and is not affiliated with Valve. Steam and Steam Workshop belong to Valve. Workshop items remain the work of their respective creators.
