What it is

MioLog is a free, open-source gaming journal and backlog app for organizing a game collection, recording play, drafting reviews, and choosing what to play next. Its cover-first library sorts games by backlog, finished, or paused status. Game pages include session-time logging, dated play logs, ratings, and reviews. Mio's Choice bases suggestions on the local library without requiring an AI service. Year in Review gathers finished games, favorite platforms, play time, and ratings into a shareable card. MioLog works offline and does not require an account. Review drafts can be written on-device; optional Mio Server adds server-backed drafting and cross-device sync. The server is free, open source, and self-hostable. The app runs on Android, iOS, and the web. It can be added to an iPhone or iPad home screen through Safari or installed on Android through Chrome. Its AGPL license and a demo with sample games and logs are also listed.
