Overview

Backlog Zero is a desktop app for organizing games across platforms and tracking what you own, have played, or plan to play. It combines library statuses, cover art, metadata, tags, and duplicate detection. The maker lists Steam, Xbox, GOG, Epic Games, and Amazon Luna; the FAQ also names the PC Game Pass catalog. Tools include session logs, backlog goals, statistics, a Habits dashboard, and an Identity Dossier with ten gamer archetypes. The Wishlist tracks prices through gg.deals and can provide deal signals and alerts; free-game listings collect Epic and Prime Gaming giveaways. Library data stays local, and the app can be used offline, but price checking, cover-art fetching, and platform synchronization need internet access. The free plan includes all features, with no tiers or account, at 0.00 USD per free. Library export is available as JSON or CSV. A mobile companion offers browsing, logging, goals, recent history, and a Backlog Picker over local Wi-Fi, localhost, or a private VPN.

Who it is for

It suits gamers who want to consolidate libraries, spot duplicate games, and track a backlog. The mobile companion may suit people who want to browse or log sessions over a local connection or private VPN.

What is good

  • Free with all features and no account
  • Stores library data locally
  • Exports libraries as JSON or CSV
  • Tracks sessions, goals, and statistics

What to know first

  • Price checks require internet access
  • Cover-art fetching requires internet access
  • Xbox imports omit games never launched

Verdict

Backlog Zero brings collection management, backlog tracking, and game-deal tools together in a free app. Note that some features need internet, and Xbox games absent from achievement history must be added manually.
