GOG Stale Game Cleanup

Automated workflow to identify installed GOG games that haven't been played recently, notify via email, and create Apple Reminders for each stale game.

Prerequisites

• GOG library JSON file (see gog_library.json in config)
• himalaya CLI configured for email sending
• remindctl CLI for Apple Reminders (macOS)
• python3 for JSON parsing

Workflow

1. Run scripts/stale_games.sh with required environment variables
2. Script identifies installed games with last_played older than 30 days (or never played)
3. Sends an email report to the configured address
4. Adds a "Consider uninstalling: " reminder to the Gaming list

Usage

GOG_LIBRARY=/path/to/gog_library.json \
EMAIL_TO=user@example.com \
EMAIL_ACCOUNT=personal \
REMINDERS_LIST=Gaming \
bash scripts/stale_games.sh

Environment Variables

Scheduling

To run weekly via cron:

Output

• Reminders: One reminder per stale game titled "Consider uninstalling: " in the Gaming list
• Console: Summary of findings and action confirmations
