Users can mark games as played, in progress, or wanted, while keeping journals, play sessions, ownership, completion history, and playtime records.

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.
