Track your game backlog, journal every game you play, and sync your library across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, all in one beautifully designed gaming journal. Minimap is the gaming journal where gamers track their libraries, share what they're playing, and find friends with taste like theirs. Build your collection, journal every game, and stop playing alone, even when the game is single-player. ONE APP FOR ALL YOUR GAMES Connect Steam, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and Nintendo Switch to automatically import your full game library. No more spreadsheets. No more switching between platforms. No more forgetting what you own. Your entire gaming life sits in one clean library, automatically updated every time you buy or play a new game. BACKLOG TRACKER THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Organize your game backlog into Playing, Finished, Shelved, or Dropped. Set priorities, filter by genre, and sort by length. Decide what to play next with a backlog tracker that respects how gamers actually think. Your video game backlog finally makes sense. ACHIEVEMENT & TROPHY SYNC Track achievements, trophies, and your completion percentage across every platform you play on. Watch your achievement collection grow in real time. See your global completion rate at a glance, hunt missing achievements, and chase that next platinum trophy. One place for every trophy hunter and completionist who actually cares about 100%. DEEP PLAYTIME STATS Discover your total playtime, most-played genres, weekly gaming trends, and monthly recaps with easy-to-read charts. Find out where your gaming hours actually went, what you played most this year, and which genres dominated your year. Get a full year-in-review that tells the story of your gaming life. GAMING JOURNAL & REVIEWS Rate every game on a scale that makes sense to you. Write a short journal entry the moment you finish a game, or a long-form review when something moves you. Build a permanent record of your gaming life: what you played, what you loved, and what you'll never touch again. A gaming journal for players, the way Letterboxd works for film lovers. GAMER COMMUNITY Follow friends and discover players with libraries like yours. Share your backlog progress, post about games you just finished, and read reviews from gamers who actually play what you play. Find a focused community of gamers who get it. YOUR GAMER PROFILE Your stats become a profile. Show off your favorite genres, completion rate, playtime, hours-per-game, and gaming history. A social badge that's actually yours, earned hour by hour, game by game. BUILD YOUR OWN COLLECTIONS Curate games into custom collections that fit how you think. Build "Games I Bought on Sale and Forgot About," "RPGs Worth 100 Hours," or "Comfort Games for Bad Days." Share collections with friends or keep them private. Your library, your taste, your way. RELEASE TRACKING & WISHLIST Add upcoming games to your wishlist and get notified when they launch. Check critic scores and user reviews before you buy.
