GamePanda keeps every game you own in one library. Link PlayStation, Xbox and Steam and your games arrive on their own: purchases, subscription titles, and the trophies and achievements you have already earned. Add discs, cartridges and anything else by hand, and they sit alongside the rest instead of being forgotten. ONE LIBRARY, EVERY PLATFORM Digital, physical and subscription titles together. Remasters, remakes and ports collapse under the game they belong to, so a collection reads like a collection instead of a list of duplicates. TROPHIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS THAT KEEP THEMSELVES CURRENT PlayStation trophies, Xbox achievements and Steam achievements in one place, refreshed in the background so progress is already there when you open the app. KNOW WHEN A GAME GETS CHEAPER Watch any game and GamePanda tells you when the price drops. That is the only time it will interrupt you. A BACKLOG YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY FINISH Tap to move a game from Backlog to Playing to Completed. Hold to park it. Challenges count what you finish across every console you own. DISCOVER WHAT TO PLAY NEXT Browse new releases, deals and what is worth playing on each platform. GAMEPANDA+ UNLOCKS MORE Unlimited collections instead of one. A game's whole price history instead of 30 days. A calendar of everything you are waiting for, and a notification the day one of them ships. Check any store region on any game, and change your own whenever you like. Link a second (or more) account(s) per platform. Install to your console and check its storage from your phone. See what your subscriptions gave away in past months. And choose exactly what counts as a deal, instead of just "on sale." And many more features to come!

Keep track of what you're playing, what's next, and what you've finished with Barklog. 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 Not every game needs finishing. Barklog lets you mark a game abandoned 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 suggests possible matches for you to choose 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. 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.
