## What is GameShard?

GameShard is the backlog tracker that knows how you actually play. It times your sessions, keeps your Steam playtime in sync, and tells you when you'll clear your backlog at your real pace.

Can't decide what to play tonight? Pick a mood and how much time you've got, and Play Next picks a game from your backlog.

WHAT TO PLAY NEXT
· Pick a mood (chill, challenge, story, mindless fun) and how long you've got

### 1.3 — 2026-05-08

v1.3 - Rate, Share, and a widget glow-up.

  - Rate Many Games at Once
  Just imported 100 games from Steam? You can now rate them all in one place. Find it in Settings → Library, or tap "Rate Imported Games" right after a Steam sync.

  - Share Cards (Premium)
  Turn any game into a beautiful share image — cover, rating, and play time, ready for Instagram, Messages, or wherever. Save straight to Photos with one tap, or open the share sheet.

  - Lock Screen Widget
  Your current game, glanceable from the lock screen. No unlock needed.

  - Widget Polish
  Refreshed small and medium widgets — and the game you just played now sticks around after you stop the timer instead of jumping to a different one.

  Plus assorted fixes and improvements. Thanks for playing!

### 1.2 — 2026-04-29

- Steam is here!
Connect your Steam account and bring your entire PC library into GameShard in seconds. We match your games against IGDB so covers, metadata, and release years all come in automatically.

- Import your library
Select which games to add, pick a shelf, and import — new games land exactly where you want them.

- Playtime sync
Already have Steam games in your library? GameShard pulls your playtime from Steam and fills in the gaps, so your hours are always accurate even for games you played before tracking.

- Play reminders
Get a nudge when you haven't played in a while. Set your own interval — 1, 3, 5, or 7 days — or turn it off entirely.

- Bug fixes & polish
The usual round of small improvements to keep things running smoothly.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-04-13

Bug fixes:

- Fixed an issue where game sessions could stay "active" forever if the app was force-closed — stats and play time now stay accurate
- "Platform Master" achievement now tracks the platforms you actually own. You can select multiple platforms per game from the Add screen or the game's menu

Polish:

- Removed visual divider lines between library cards for a cleaner look
- The ellipsis menu on game pages now works — quickly move to shelf, change your platforms, share, or remove a game
- Backdrop images scale better and transition smoothly into the blurred area
- Section headers and similar game cards are now clearly readable on all backgrounds

Under the hood:

- Faster library status checks in Search and Discover
- Rating taps and note edits are debounced to keep scrolling smooth
- More stability improvements and safer code paths
