AutoBanana

Now supports multiple games and multiple accounts!

AutoBanana is an automated script designed to manage the opening and closing of games through Steam. The primary features of AutoBanana include:

Features

• Modern web UI: A Flask-powered dashboard with an animated gradient background, a "fake console" feed, and smooth transitions. All controls live in the browser instead of the terminal.
• Adjustable schedule: Configure the run interval (run_interval_seconds) and wait time between launch/close cycles directly from the UI. No more fixed three-hour loop.
• Single instance + tray: AutoBanana keeps a single instance alive, opens the existing UI if already running, and (on Windows) adds a system tray icon to reopen the dashboard.
• Automatic Startup: Configure the script to run on system startup (Windows) with one toggle.
• Logging: Logs all actions to AutoBanana.log and streams them into the web console for quick monitoring.
• Account switching: Switches between all saved Steam accounts that have the "Remember me" checkbox enabled.

Installation

You can find the latest releases here.

Simply download and run AutoBanana-win64.exe

I am aware of the false positive on the windows defender and working on a solution

Manual Installation

• Download the repository: here
• Extract the contents of the zip file
• Install python Make sure to add python to PATH it's an option when installing!
• Run setup.bat
• Insert game ID's into the config file separated by a comma ',' (you can find the ids on the game properties under the updates page on library or steam shop link). The config now lives under %APPDATA%\AutoBanana\config.ini on Windows or ~/.config/AutoBanana/config.ini on Linux/macOS. A synced copy is kept alongside AutoBanana.exe for convenience—edit whichever file you prefer and AutoBanana will migrate the newer version automatically on the next launch.

Linux / Ubuntu quick start

• Install Python 3 and Steam (sudo apt install python3 python3-pip steam) and sign into Steam once so loginusers.vdf exists.
• If Steam lives outside the default ~/.local/share/Steam, set STEAM_PATH=/path/to/steam before running.
• Run bash setup.sh (or pip3 install -r requirements.txt followed by python3 AutoBanana.py).
• Windows-only features: adding to system startup and console title sizing. Everything else runs cross-platform.

Development

• Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/Beelzebub2/AutoBanana/
• Navigate to the project directory: cd AutoBanana
• Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

• Run the script: python AutoBanana.py

Manually Building

• Navigate to the project directory: cd AutoBanana
• Build with pyinstaller: pyinstaller -F -n AutoBanana-win64 -i banana.ico AutoBanana.py
