What Backlog.rip is
Backlog.rip is a free, open-source web library manager for organizing, tracking and discovering games. The Free forever plan allows unlimited games, progress tracking, custom states and lists, advanced search and filtering, integrations, Steam synchronization, cloud backups and multi-device sync. Steam integration imports owned games and playtime, including free games, while steam-backlog.com can supply statuses and progress. Users can publish lists for anyone to view and browse public lists from others. The homepage says data remains local in the browser and that no cookies or trackers are used. Steam Achievements synchronization is under maintenance on the free offering. A Monthly Supporter contribution adds unlimited achievement synchronization, more cloud usage, one-year backup retention and a supporter Discord channel, with the amount not listed. The project is maintained by a solo developer; its README says licensing is undecided and use or distribution requires permission.
