app.catalogie.com/gamesPlaying, beaten, backlog
Statuses that match how games actually go, including the ones you put down and never picked up again. No pretending every game gets finished.
Games A game tracker that finally makes the backlog visible
Catalogie tracks what you are playing, what you have beaten and the pile you keep telling yourself you will get to. Log hours the way you actually know them - the two you played tonight, or the total Steam is showing you - and see the backlog as a real, finite list instead of a feeling.

Tame the pile
The modern backlog is not a list, it is a low-grade anxiety spread across Steam, a console library, a subscription service and three storefronts that each think they own your collection. Nobody knows how big it is. That is precisely why it never gets smaller.
Catalogie makes it a list. Playing, beaten, abandoned, and the ones still waiting - across every platform, in one place, with hours attached. A backlog you can actually see is a backlog you can make decisions about, and "what should I play next" stops being a twenty-minute browse that ends in playing nothing.
Hours are logged the way you really know them. Sometimes you know you played two and a half hours tonight. Sometimes you just know Steam says 114. Catalogie takes either - add an increment, or set the total and it works out the difference - and stamps the session with the day you actually played, not the day you got round to recording it.
What you can track
Hours, two ways
Log an increment ("played 2.5 tonight") or an absolute total ("Steam says 114") and Catalogie works out the difference. Both end up in the same running count.
Sessions dated properly
A session is stamped with the day you played, not the day you remembered to log it - so a weekend catch-up does not pile forty hours onto a Tuesday.
Every platform in one library
PC, console and handheld side by side, with the platform recorded per game. Your collection stops being four separate collections.
Your rating, and everyone else's
Score on five stars with halves or a ten-point scale, set separately for games, next to the Metacritic score and what the Catalogie community made of it.
How long it actually takes
Average playtime shown on the game page, so "do I have time for this" has an answer before you start rather than forty hours in.
Decide what is next
Filter the backlog by platform, genre and length, and pick something that fits the evening you actually have.
Developers, genres, screenshots, similar games
Full detail from IGDB - developer, publisher, modes, platforms, screenshots and trailers - plus a row of similar games when you want more of the same.
Release dates that reach you
Upcoming games land in the same calendar as your films and returning seasons, so a launch does not slip past unnoticed.
How it works
- 01
Add the game
Search over 90,000 titles across platforms, with artwork and detail from IGDB. Add it to your library in one tap.
- 02
Log your hours
Add tonight's session, or paste in the total your platform shows. Set the day it happened if it was not today.
- 03
Watch the backlog shrink
Beaten games move out of the queue and into your stats. For once, the pile has a number, and the number goes down.
Start with the collection you already have
An empty library is why tracker switches fail. Bring across what you have already played, so day one is a real picture rather than a blank page.
- Import from a spreadsheet - the way most people's game collection is really stored
- Bring hours played and completion status with each title, not just the names
- See a preview of exactly what will be added before anything is saved
- Anything that cannot be matched is listed up front and skipped, never silently guessed at
- Large imports keep running after you close the tab, and we email you when they finish
Game tracking questions
- Is the game tracker free?
- Yes - Catalogie is free to use, forever. Every feature is unlocked for everyone, with no credit card, no trial clock and no expiry. Nothing about backlog or playtime tracking sits behind a paid tier.
- How do I log hours played?
- Two ways, whichever you actually know. Add an increment - "I played 2.5 hours tonight" - or enter an absolute total, such as the 114 hours Steam is showing you, and Catalogie works out the difference. You can also set the day it happened, so a session logged on Sunday can be recorded against the Friday you played it.
- Does it connect to Steam automatically?
- Not yet - hours are entered by you rather than synced. Because you can enter an absolute total, keeping a game current takes one number from your platform's own counter rather than any recalculation on your part.
- Can I track games across different platforms?
- Yes. PC, console and handheld titles sit in one library with the platform recorded per game, so your collection is a single list rather than four separate ones you have to hold in your head.
- What about games I gave up on?
- They have their own status. Not every game gets finished, and a tracker that only offers "playing" and "beaten" makes your backlog look worse than it is. Abandoned games are recorded honestly and stop cluttering the queue.
- Can I see how long a game takes before I start it?
- Average playtime is shown on the game page alongside its Metacritic score, so you can judge whether it fits the time you have before you commit rather than forty hours in.
- Is my game library private?
- Private by default. Games have their own sharing toggle, separate from movies, TV and books, so you can share a backlog without sharing anything else, or share nothing at all.
- Does it track anything besides games?
- Yes. Movies, TV series and books share the same library and dashboard, so the whole of your media life is one place rather than an app per medium.
