What it is
Backloggd is a web-based personal video game collection tracker for logging games, recording play, and sharing ratings and reviews with friends. Users can mark games as played, in progress, or wanted, while keeping journals, play sessions, ownership, completion history, and playtime records. They can rate and review titles, create private or shared lists, and optionally track progress or rankings. Following users surfaces their activity, ratings, and reviews. Game information comes from IGDB, whose data is community contributed, and users cannot upload their own covers. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited game logging, lists, reviews, and journal tracking, with 14 days of recent activity. The Backer plan costs $3 a month via Patreon and adds all-time statistics, a yearly recap, ad-free use, 60 days of recent activity, and early beta access. There is no mobile app, although the website is optimized for mobile screens.
