A beautiful & lightweight GeoGuessr Steam Helper
Live coordinates • Country • Region • Road • Postcode • Flag • Map preview
GeoHelper is a clean, customizable desktop helper for GeoGuessr on Steam.
It shows live round information: coordinates, country, region, road, postcode, flag and map preview.
Perfect for custom maps, singleplayer, solo practice and learning geography.
- Beautiful draggable & resizable widgets with full layout customization
- Powerful custom theming system (JSON + CSS variables)
- Live coordinates and rich location data
- Map preview (OpenStreetMap default + Google Maps support)
- Very small size (~6MB) thanks to Tauri
- No injection, no DLLs, no browser extensions — uses Steam’s own Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP)
GeoHelper connects to the Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint exposed by Steam (--remote-debugging-port=34788 --remote-allow-origins=*) and reads the game’s own network RPC traffic. Everything is processed locally on your machine.
- Download the latest release from Releases
- Right-click GeoGuessr in Steam → Properties → Launch Options and add:
--remote-debugging-port=34788 --remote-allow-origins=* - Run GeoHelper and start playing
Supported platforms: Windows 10/11, Linux, macOS 11+
Ubuntu/Debian builds usually install the needed WebKitGTK dependencies automatically from the .deb package. On Arch-based distros such as Arch Linux and CachyOS, install the runtime dependencies first:
git clone https://github.com/wiktorekdev/geohelper.git
cd geohelper/packaging/arch
makepkg -siIf you prefer to run the AppImage or raw binary directly, install the runtime dependencies manually:
sudo pacman -S --needed webkit2gtk-4.1 libsoup3 gtk3 libayatana-appindicatorIf you are building GeoHelper from source on Arch/CachyOS, install the full Tauri development dependency set:
sudo pacman -S --needed webkit2gtk-4.1 base-devel curl wget file openssl appmenu-gtk-module libappindicator-gtk3 librsvg xdotoolClick the pencil icon to enter Edit Mode:
- Drag & drop widgets anywhere on screen
- Toggle and resize individual widgets
- Custom Themes (built-in + fully custom via
themes.json) - Per-widget styling (colors, fonts, padding, etc.)
