GameWall is your personal video game catalog: organize your collection, your wishlist and your backlog, and share them with your friends. YOUR COLLECTION, YOUR WAY A wall with every cover you own, grouped by platform with collapsible sections, or by series, with the covers fanned out. A copy counter when you own the same game on several consoles, and filters by platform, edition, status or name. ADD GAMES IN SECONDS Search by title, scan the barcode on the box, or sweep your whole shelf with the camera and review what it recognized before adding it. YOUR AMIIBO TOO Scan an amiibo by tapping your phone, or search for it by name in the catalog, and add it to your collection or your wishlist. Every figure has its own page, with the compatible games per console and what it does in each one. Group your amiibo collection by series or by amiibo line, just like your games. WISHLIST AND BACKLOG Save what you want to buy and what you still have to play. Share your wishlist by link: perfect for gifts, and for not buying the same game twice. FRIENDS Invite your friends, browse their collection and wishlist, and decide whether yours is visible. DISCOVER Curated sections with the most anticipated releases, new arrivals and the best of each platform. STATS How many games you own and how they split across your consoles. Works with collections across PlayStation (PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PSX, PSP, Vita), Nintendo (Switch, Wii U, Wii, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES, 3DS, DS, Game Boy), Xbox (Series, One, 360, original), PC and retro consoles. Built natively for iPhone and iPad, with a Liquid Glass tab bar on iOS 26. Game data provided by IGDB.

You own more games than you'll ever finish. Barklog is where you keep track of them anyway. Add a game, then mark it waiting, playing, completed, or abandoned. That's the whole system. Whatever you're playing sits at the top, so the game you're actually in the middle of is the first thing you see. ABANDONED IS A REAL ANSWER Most trackers give you a "finished" box and quietly assume you'll get there. You won't. Barklog lets you say so in one tap and stop thinking about it. No judgement. FIND THE NEXT ONE Explore shows what's popular, what's coming out, and what just landed. Already know the name? Search for it. Tap any game for its cover, platforms, genres, who made it, what the ratings look like, and which games it's similar to. SHARE A VIDEO, PICK THE GAME You're watching a clip of some game and you can't work out what it is. Share the video to Barklog from YouTube or TikTok and it figures out which game the clip is about, then hands you the candidates to pick from. All it reads is the video title and the channel name. TEN AT A TIME, FREE Barklog is free for ten unfinished games: the ones waiting, and the ones you're partway through. Finish one, or admit you're done with it, and the slot comes back. Games you've completed or abandoned never count against the ten, so the shelf behind you can get as long as it likes. Premium takes the cap off. Nothing else changes. GAME DATA Every cover, release date, platform, genre and summary in Barklog comes from IGDB, a games database its community maintains. BARKLOG PREMIUM Barklog Premium removes the ten-game cap and nothing else. It comes as two auto-renewable subscriptions, Barklog Premium Monthly and Barklog Premium Yearly, both starting with a 7-day free trial. The price for your region is shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at the end of the free trial. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends; your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
