PyShopDL

PyShopDL is a desktop client for downloading Steam Workshop items using a modern Fluent-style interface. It wraps the third‑party DepotDownloaderMod command‑line tool in a simple GUI so you can queue workshop IDs, inspect their metadata, and download them sequentially without touching a terminal or official steam client.

Features

• Fluent UI built with PySide6 and qfluentwidgets
• Fetching metadata from the Steam Web API (name, size, app ID)
• Status tracking per item (Loading, Ready, Queue, Process, Complete, Error)
• Sequential download queue using DepotDownloaderMod
• Multi threaded download (Coming Soon but in plan)
• Batch Download
