Steam Deck & handhelds
SaveVault’s interface is designed for handhelds and is Steam Deck Verified.
What that means
Section titled “What that means”- Gamepad navigation — D-pad, A/B, and bumpers move through the sidebar and controls, with focus-visible indicators showing where you are.
- On-screen keyboard — text fields summon the Deck’s keyboard via the VirtualKeyboard API.
- Suspend/resume — the app handles the Deck sleeping and waking mid-session.
- Touch-friendly — 44px tap targets and a layout tuned for 1280×800, with adaptive breakpoints for any screen size.
Saves in Proton/Wine prefixes
Section titled “Saves in Proton/Wine prefixes”Many Deck games run under Proton, so their saves live inside a compatibility prefix.
SaveVault discovers and resolves Wine prefix roots, and can
materialize saves back into a prefix on restore with --redirect-wine.
