You rate every movie on Letterboxd. You log every book on Goodreads. But when it comes to the 40+ games sitting in your Steam library, your backlog tracking system is… vibes? Maybe a Notes app list you started in 2022 and forgot about? I felt that. I’ve been gaming for over two decades, and until recently, I had zero record of what I played, what I thought about it, or how many hours I actually sank into Elden Ring versus how many hours I told people I sank into Elden Ring. Turns out, there are apps built for exactly this. Some are great. Some need work. And one of them is something I actually helped build. Here’s the honest breakdown of every game tracking app worth your time in 2026. What Makes a Good Game Tracking App? Before we get into the list, here’s what matters most for people like us. Adult gamers with jobs, families, and maybe 6-10 hours a week to play. You want something that lets you log games fast (30 seconds or less), rate and review without writing a dissertation, see your stats over time, and connect with other people who play the same stuff. Bonus points if it doesn’t look like it was built in 2014. With that in mind, let’s go. 1. Backloggd Price:…

FAQ

What's the best game tracking app if I'm coming from Letterboxd?
Backloggd is your best bet. It's the closest thing gaming has to Letterboxd with a 5-star rating system, active community, and clean interface. Just note it's iOS-only for mobile, and one developer maintains it, so feature updates move slower than you might want.
Can I track games across Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox all in one place?
Yeah, Infinite Backlog is built for that. It pulls directly from Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and GOG libraries automatically, which saves you from manually adding every single game. Just be aware the community is smaller than Backloggd's.
Which app has the best-looking interface?
Gamery takes the crown for visual appeal with animated 3D artwork that makes your collection look like a curated gallery. GG is a close second if you want a modern, clean design. Both are iOS-focused though, Gamery is paid, and GG has limited mobile support.
Is there an app that tracks both video games and tabletop games?
SavePoint is the only one that does both, it pulls from a database of 500,000+ video games and integrates with BoardGameGeek for tabletop games. Full transparency: one of TAG's team members helped build it, but it's genuinely unique in this feature.
What if I just want to know how long games take to beat?
HowLongToBeat is your tool. It's completely free, has unmatched time-to-beat data (main story, completionist, everything in between), and you can import your Steam library directly. It's more a utility than a social platform, but it does one thing really well.
