Playwall

Playwall is the backlog you actually want to open. No streaks to keep. No guilt if you skip a week. No number counting everything you have not finished staring back at you every time you open the app. Just the games you already own, kept somewhere that feels good to look at. Nothing in Playwall is locked behind a subscription. Capture, log, and rate as many games as you want, for free, forever. Night Owl is there if you want to support the person who makes Playwall, never because you have to. CAPTURE THE PILE Add a game once, from your own wall or a quick search, and it takes its place: sharp if you own it, dimmed if it is a wishlist, one tap to move between the two. No folders, no lists to maintain. TONIGHT, NOT SOMEDAY Open Playwall on a quiet evening and it names one game worth starting tonight, not a ranked list to read through. Stop scrolling a storefront you have already scrolled. Start playing something you already own. LOG THE NIGHT IN ONE TAP After you play, log the session in a single tap. No timer running, no diary entry required, just a mark that you played and how the night went. RATE IT IN TWO QUESTIONS Finish a game and Playwall asks two questions, not a five-star form to fill out. That is enough to remember what you thought, and it is what turns a finish into something worth keeping. EVERY FINISH BECOMES A STAR Every game you finish joins a small galaxy you can look back through any time: rate it, log it, and it takes its place among everything else you have played and loved. DECEMBER GETS A RECEIPT At the end of the year, Playwall prints a plain record of what you played, what you finished, and what stood out. A keepsake, not a leaderboard. SUPPORT, NEVER A GATE If you want to support the person who builds Playwall, there are three tiers: Supporter, Night Owl, and Patron. All three unlock the same cosmetic extras, wall themes and a gold galaxy among them. None of them touch the games, the logging, or the ratings, and the higher tiers are a bigger gift, not a bigger app. Terms of Use: https://drnkn.dev/playwall/terms Privacy Policy: https://drnkn.dev/playwall/privacy License Agreement (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
