HourIdler / Features / Smart Card Farmer

Farm eligible Steam trading cards automatically

Scan remaining drops and prioritize eligible games by estimated card value.

Card Farmer is included on Starter, Pro and Lifetime. It scans Steam badge pages for remaining drops, estimates value from market buy orders and rotates eligible games. Farming reports game activity through a hosted Steam session without launching the game executable; your PC can stay off.

Ordinary card drops are finite. Crafting badges does not reset exhausted drops, and free-to-play games can require qualifying in-game purchases. Market prices and Steam availability vary; ranking is an estimate, not a promise of earnings. Any market sale proceeds are Steam Wallet funds.

Use the AFK Steam trading-card guide to check eligibility, connect an account, start Card Farmer and troubleshoot missing drops. Valve’s trading-card FAQ explains drop limits and booster packs.

Choose the plan that fits.

Start free with two Steam accounts and no card required. Paid plans add larger account limits and tools such as Card Farmer; the pricing table shows exactly where each feature is included.
