Backlog.rip
What it is
Backlog.rip is a free, open-source web library manager for organizing, tracking, and discovering games. The free plan allows unlimited games, progress tracking, custom states and lists, and advanced search and filtering. Steam integration synchronizes owned games and playtime, including free games, while statuses and progress can also be imported from steam-backlog.com. Cloud backups and multi-device sync are included. Lists may be made public, and the site provides a way to explore public lists. The homepage says data stays 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, a year of backup retention, and a supporter Discord channel. The project is maintained by a solo developer. Monthly support can be cancelled anytime without commitments.
