Summary
Backlog Zero is a desktop app for organizing games you own, have played, or plan to play across multiple platforms. It brings library details such as statuses, cover art, metadata, tags, and duplicate detection together. Listed services include Steam, Xbox, GOG, Epic Games, and Amazon Luna; the FAQ also mentions the PC Game Pass catalog. You can log sessions, set backlog goals, view statistics and a Habits dashboard, and explore an Identity Dossier with ten gamer archetypes. Its Wishlist checks prices through gg.deals and offers deal signals and alerts, while free-game listings gather Epic and Prime Gaming giveaways. Library data stays local, and the app works offline, but price checks, cover-art retrieval, and platform sync need internet access. Backlog Zero is free, with all features included and no account. Library export is available in JSON or CSV. A mobile companion provides browsing, session logging, goals, recent history, and a Backlog Picker over local Wi-Fi, localhost, or a private VPN.
Who it is for
It suits gamers who want one place to track games across platforms, spot duplicates, and manage a large backlog. The local storage and offline use may also suit people who prefer not to create an account.
