Your backlog isn't
going to track itself.

Backlog Zero is free, requires no account, and keeps your data exactly where it belongs — on your machine. Download and you're done.

macOS 12 Monterey or later Apple Silicon & Intel v1.0.0

Download .dmg

⚠️ One extra step on first launch

Backlog Zero isn't notarized through Apple — it's an indie app, not an App Store product — so macOS will throw up a warning the first time you open it. Don't panic. Right-click (or Control-click) the app in your Applications folder, select Open, then click Open again on the dialog. That's it. You won't be asked again.

Windows 10 or later 64-bit v1.0.0
