What it is

Backlog.rip is a free, open-source web game library manager for organizing, tracking, and discovering games. Its free plan allows unlimited games, progress tracking, custom states and lists, and advanced search and filtering. Steam integration synchronizes owned games and playtime, including free games, and users can import statuses and progress from steam-backlog.com. Cloud backups and multi-device sync are included. Users can publish lists for anyone to view and browse public lists on the site. The homepage says data stays local in the browser and that the product uses no cookies or trackers. Steam Achievements synchronization is under maintenance on the free offering. The project calls itself open source, while its GitHub README says the license remains undecided and use or distribution requires permission. A solo developer maintains it.
