BAKLOG
What it is
BAKLOG brings game libraries from multiple storefronts into a local backlog dashboard, helping users choose what to play and check deals against games they own. It lists 12 library sources, including Steam, Epic, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, Amazon, Nintendo, and EA App, and supports eight wishlist sources for deal radar with prices in the user’s currency. Library tools include cross-store deduplication, combined playtime and review scores, a filter for DLC and other non-game items, and up to three custom-named Picks tabs. Claimable Now collects active giveaways from sources including GamerPower, IsThereAnyDeal, and the Epic Store, hides games already owned, and is included in the free tier. The dashboard offers 300+ statistics, including completion AVG, backlog OPS, value-per-hour, and WAR measures for choosing a next pick. On the free tier, users manually refresh one store at a time; while the app is open, it refreshes one stale store about every 30 minutes. BAKLOG is in open beta, with packaged downloads available by request or source users can clone and run on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
