Backlog: Video Game Organizer
Video Game Tracker & News
Only for iPhone
Free
Your backlog, conquered.
Backlog is the game tracker built for gamers who mean business. Track every game you own, want, or are grinding through, all in one place.
ORGANIZE EVERYTHING
Sort your collection into four clear statuses:
• Playing (you're in it right now)
• Completed (victory lap)
• Backlogged (we see you, pile of shame)
• Wishlist (payday targets)
Every game gets a color-coded glow so you can see your progress at a glance. Your library syncs across all your devices.
DISCOVER WHAT'S NEXT
Browse trending, most wanted, now playing, and hot on Steam charts, powered by IGDB with 100,000+ games. See what just released. See what's coming. Set a release date reminder and get notified the second it drops.
The latest gaming news is built right into Discover, so you stay current without leaving the app.
TIME TRAVEL THE CHARTS
Scrub through popularity history day by day. See which games climbed, which dropped, and which came out of nowhere. No other tracker does this.
RATE, REVIEW, CONNECT
Rate games and write reviews, then read what the community really thinks. Follow friends to see what they're playing right now. Reply in threads, mention other players, and vouch for the people you game with. Build your gamer profile, pin your Top Friends, and share your collection.
GAME DETAIL PAGES
Every game gets a full breakdown: ratings, platforms, screenshots, trailers, multiplayer info, related games, age ratings, involved companies, and the latest news. It's the most complete game page on mobile.
WHY BACKLOG?
• Native iOS app. Fast, smooth, no web views.
• Sign in with Apple. Privacy-first.
• Cloud sync across all your devices.
• Push notifications for release dates.
• Choose who sees your profile, library, ratings, and activity.
• Built by gamers, for gamers.
Download Backlog and finally get your game library under control.
more Love this app very much as it has everything all laid out well, and is very organized. However, one thing that would make this app even better to use is sorting options; like have an option to put the titles we listed in alphabetical order for example. Would make viewing our backlogs and completed lists so much better!
Developer Response Thanks for the kind words!I recently released version 0.0.10 with sorting options, bug fixes, and app improvements.If you’re interested in testing the beta, I’d love to have you as a tester. I can get your feedback earlier in development.Email support@bklog.app or DM us at @Different_Prod on X.

The interface is the best of any of the game trackers I’ve tried, nice work! In the future, I’d like to see the ability to add play time, and bulk import games via CSV and/or auto syncing with psn/steam/nintendo! But this is really awesome, thanks so much!
Developer Response This review truly means a lot! I strive to build top quality experiences, so anything that you come across that seems broken or out of place, please feel free to reach out any time to support@bklog.app. Also, great news on your ideas, some of these features are in the next update! Others are in active development. Once again, thank you for the review.

This app works and looks great. A nice feature would be to filter by console. For example RE9User 100% on XboxBut still playing on switch 2
Developer Response Thank you so much for the kind words! The console feature has been noted I will make sure it makes it into the next update.
