Loot tables, quest logs, keybind references, mod lists, and speedrun splits — pinned to your desktop wallpaper. Alt-tab and it's right there. No overlays. No extra windows. No performance hit.
Every gamer has notes — boss weaknesses, crafting recipes, keybinds, mod load orders. Most people use Notepad, a second monitor, or their phone. QuickSheet puts all of it directly on your wallpaper so it's visible the instant you alt-tab or Win+D. It uses near-zero resources and never interferes with your game.
Track drop rates, farming locations, and material requirements. Auto-sum columns show total materials needed. Always visible between farming runs.
List active quests, objectives, NPC locations. Check off completions in-place. Never alt-tab to a wiki mid-quest again.
New game, new keybinds. Lay out your custom bindings in a grid so you can glance at them while building muscle memory.
Track mod names, versions, compatibility notes, and load priority. Know at a glance which mods conflict when troubleshooting crashes.
Record PB splits, gold splits, and segment notes. Use countdown cells for time-based challenges. Review after each run without switching apps.
Track your pile of shame — game name, platform, status (playing/backlog/completed/dropped), hours played. Column sums show total hours invested.
