Codex GameHawk Support
How to sign in, connect Steam and GOG, set price alerts on your wishlist, use the web companion, and what to do when something doesn't behave as expected.
Codex GameHawk gathers your games into one library: the Vault for what you own and the Wishlist for what you're waiting on. Connect Steam or GOG and the app imports both lists, then watches storefront prices twice a day. When a wishlist game is discounted — or hits the exact price you asked for — your phone tells you, and the app tells you whether the deal ties the game's all-time low.
GameHawk is built so the sensitive things stay on your device. It helps to know what the service stores, and what it never sees, before you connect anything.
That is the only way in, and there is no password to create or remember. The app proves it's a genuine build on genuine hardware before the server will talk to it.
Connecting Steam or GOG happens on your phone, in the storefront's own sign-in pages. Credentials live in the iOS Keychain or Android's encrypted store and are never sent to our servers.
Only what the service needs: the identifiers of the games you track, your alert thresholds, and a push token. Deleting your account from Settings removes all of it.
Twice a day, against each storefront's public prices, for every watched game. The app remembers every game's lowest recorded price, so it can tell you when a sale ties the record.
Steam and GOG connect today, importing your owned games and wishlist. More storefront connections switch on as each one is ready.
Sign in to the app, open Settings, and choose the storefront you want to connect.
The storefront's own sign-in pages open on your phone. Your username and password go to the storefront, not to us — the app keeps the resulting session in your device's secure store.
Your owned games land in the Vault and your wishlist entries in the Wishlist. Only the game identifiers to watch are sent to the server; the import itself runs on the device.
PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox titles can be added manually and their prices are tracked the same way. Games can be grouped across platforms, so the app can tell you a deal is for something you already own elsewhere.
The Vault holds what you own, the Wishlist holds what you're waiting on, and Deals ranks every current discount so the best saving is at the top.
Your owned library across storefronts in one cover grid — searchable, filterable by what you've never touched, sortable by playtime. A tap opens the store's own details page.
Everything you're waiting on, from every connected storefront plus what you added by hand. Each entry is watched from the moment it appears.
Give a game a desired price and the alert fires when the price reaches it, not just on any discount. Leave the threshold unset and any discount notifies instead.
Every discounted wishlist game in one place, ranked by biggest saving, with the previous price struck through and all-time lows called out — so you'll know if a "sale" is really one.
A push arrives the moment a wishlist entry is discounted, or the moment it reaches your exact price. When a sale ties the game's all-time low, the notification says so.
Deleting your account from Settings removes everything the server holds — your game identifiers, alert thresholds and push token.
Your library and alerts in the browser, with nothing for a browser to leak.
Open the web companion in your browser. It shows a QR code instead of a sign-in form — there is no password to type.
Scan the QR code from the Codex GameHawk app on your signed-in phone. The phone approves the browser session; your credentials never enter the browser.
The Vault, Wishlist and Deals are all there, kept in step with the apps.
Check the app has notification permission, and that the game is on your Wishlist rather than in the Vault — owned games don't trigger deal alerts. If you set a desired price, remember the alert waits for that price, not for any discount.
iOS: Settings → Codex GameHawk → Notifications · Android: Settings → Apps → Codex GameHawk → Notifications
Prices are checked twice a day, so a sale that started minutes ago can take until the next check to appear. Confirm the game is on the Wishlist and that its storefront is connected.
Prices follow the store region of the storefront account you connected. Check the region on the storefront's own site — the app watches the public price for that region.
Storefront sessions are the storefront's to expire. Reconnect from Settings and sign in again on the device; nothing you had tracked is lost.
Add games by hand — PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox titles are price-tracked too — and more storefront connections switch on as each one is ready.
No. They are held in that device's secure store only — the iOS Keychain or Android's encrypted, Keystore-backed storage — and are never transmitted to our servers.
The QR code must be scanned from the GameHawk app on a phone that is already signed in — a camera app scan only opens a link. Refresh the page for a fresh code and scan again from inside the app.
From Settings in the app. Deletion removes everything the server holds about you: your account, game identifiers, alert thresholds and push token. The Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is stored.
