ArchiSteamFarm, commonly called ASF, is a program that automatically earns trading cards on Steam from multiple accounts at the same time. Steam is a gaming platform that gives players digital trading cards for time spent playing certain games. These cards can be collected, traded with other users, or sold for a small amount of money. ASF runs in the background and handles the card-earning process without requiring you to have the Steam desktop app installed or running.

The main advantage ASF has over older alternatives is that it can manage many Steam accounts at once, while older tools were limited to one account at a time and needed the Steam client open. ASF connects to Steam directly, which means it works on servers and machines without a graphical desktop, and it runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Beyond card farming, ASF includes extra features. It can act as a mobile authenticator for Steam's two-factor login system, log Steam chat messages, and handle trade requests: both accepting incoming trades automatically and sending trades to complete card sets. It can also redeem product keys and gift items on connected accounts.

The software uses a plugin system, so developers can write extensions that add custom behavior. The README points to a wiki for setup instructions rather than explaining the full process inline. There is an active community on Discord and a Steam group, and a web-based configuration generator is available for people who prefer not to edit config files by hand.

ASF is built on the SteamKit2 open-source library, which handles low-level communication with Steam's servers.
