In their own words
Backloggr
Backloggr brings a video game collection and play history together in an app for iOS and macOS. It tracks games, ratings, backlog, and play activity, with a database the service says contains more than 350,000 games across 250+ platforms. PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam libraries can sync automatically; the App Store listing also mentions Nintendo Switch importing. Physical copies and indie games can be added manually. Progress views include collection size, completion rate, backlog depth, hours played, a backlog score, and a Year in Review. For discovery, Backloggr lists games trending by community activity, wishlisted-release countdowns, and new releases sorted by hype. A dashboard combines Steam achievements, PlayStation trophies, and Xbox Gamerscore. Community features listed for the app include reviews, public lists, follows, comments, direct messages, badges, and a feed. The free plan includes library import, game tracking, trophies, and backlog tracking. Pro costs $2.99 a month, $8.99 a year, or 14.99 USD once. The website privacy policy says it is a placeholder that still needs actual processing and controller details.
GameSave
GameSave brings supported game libraries into a shared progression system with GameScore, Credits, XP, achievements, and global leaderboards. It connects Steam, GOG, Epic, Xbox, EA, Ubisoft, itch.io, Battle.net, and PlayStation; Riot Games is detected through the installed Riot Client, and retro ROM libraries are supported. The app includes a unified library, speedrun timer, friends and messaging, an in-game overlay, completion history, stats, and retro achievements. The core app, PC Games library, Career profile, and Pulse are free, while additional pages can be unlocked with earned Credits or Pro. Pro costs $9.99 a month, $24.99 a month billed quarterly, or $89.99 a year; Founder lifetime access costs 149.99 USD one-time. One account can be signed in on up to three PCs, and offline use is supported for up to 72 hours. The FAQ lists Windows 10 and 11, and a Linux alpha download is offered. GameSave says it does not require administrator rights, a kernel driver, or code injection into other processes.
