Core
Library Management
Most game libraries are spread across multiple launchers and consoles, and a spreadsheet someone made years ago and forgot about. Backlog Zero pulls it into one place. Steam and Xbox sync automatically. GOG and Epic get added manually in a few clicks. Every game gets a status — playing, completed, backlogged, abandoned — and cover art, metadata, and tags to go with it.
The part most people don't expect: duplicate detection. If you own the same game on Steam and GOG and Xbox, Backlog Zero will show you that. It's usually more surprising than it should be.
Overview
Statistics
An honest look at your library by the numbers. Total games, unplayed backlog, hours played, games finished, duplicates — all in one place, updated as your library grows. The duplicate count alone tends to be a moment of reckoning for most people.
Dig deeper with a platform-by-platform breakdown, genre distribution, most played leaderboard, recently added games, and wishlist value tracking. Library Health flags anything that needs attention — missing cover art, missing metadata, unrated games — so your collection stays complete.
Tracking
Session Logging
Steam sessions are tracked automatically. Every other platform can be logged manually from within the app — it takes about thirty seconds and builds a record of your actual gaming life across everything you play, not just what one platform decides to count.
That data feeds directly into your Habits dashboard and Identity Dossier. The more sessions you log, the more accurate the picture becomes. Pair it with Goals and it becomes a tool for actually making progress on your backlog instead of just watching it grow.
Personality
Identity Dossier
Your library is a portrait of who you are as a gamer — the genres you gravitate toward, the games you finish versus abandon, how long your sessions run, how wide your taste actually is. Most people have never seen that portrait clearly. The Identity Dossier makes it visible.
It analyzes your library and play history and produces a full gamer profile — rendered as a set of tarot-style classification cards, each one built from your real data. One of ten archetypes gets assigned based on your actual behavior. Some people find it validating. Some find it uncomfortably accurate.
Insights
Habits Dashboard
Which genres do you actually finish versus which ones you buy on sale and never touch? What time of year do you play most? How long, on average, before you abandon a game? The Habits dashboard answers these questions whether you wanted to know or not.
Your habits, visualized. No judgment — mostly.
Progress
Sessions & Goals
Sessions are the record. Goals are the target. Log what you play and set a number for how many backlog games you want to finish — then actually track whether you're getting there.
Most backlogs grow because there's no accountability in the other direction. Goals give you something to measure against. Sessions give you the data to measure with. Together they make a dent feel possible.
Discovery
Wishlist & Free Games
The Wishlist watches prices on games you want and tells you when they drop to something worth paying. Free Games aggregates current giveaways from Epic and Prime Gaming so you never miss a free claim.
Both exist for the same reason: to make sure you only add something to your backlog when it's actually worth adding. The backlog is already big enough.
Gameplay
Backlog Picker
You sit down to play. You open your library. Forty minutes later you're still scrolling and haven't started anything. The Backlog Picker solves that.
It picks a game from your unplayed backlog at random. Not your whole library — just the games you haven't started yet. One click, one answer. Sometimes you need the decision made for you.
