Trophy Rooms vs BacklogForge

Trophy Rooms is a home for everything you've played, everything you own, and everything you're still chasing. Most trackers stop at "played it." This one keeps the whole room: the library you're working through, the physical shelf behind you, and the hours you actually put in. YOUR LIBRARY, HONESTLY SORTED Every game you play in one place, from retro classics to this year's releases. Give each one a status — backlog, playing, paused, completed, dropped — and see the pile shrink. Filter by platform, sort how you like, and jump back into whatever you left unfinished. THE SHELF, PROPERLY CATALOGED Physical collectors get first-class treatment. Record region, condition, and whether a copy is complete-in-box or still sealed. Track boxes, manuals, and extras. Multi-game compilations and bundles are handled properly instead of being flattened into one entry. Keep a buylist for what's next and a sell list for what's on its way out. A PLAY JOURNAL THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST Log what you played and for how long in a single tap. Daily entries build a streak worth protecting, and weekly and all-time totals show where your hours really went. ACHIEVEMENTS AND TROPHIES Follow achievement sets game by game and watch completion climb. Finish a set and the trophy lands in your room. BUILT ON A REAL CATALOG Search more than 47,000 games across dozens of platforms, with cover art, release dates, editions, DLC, and bundles already mapped out. No manual data entry to get started. SEE WHERE YOU STAND Leaderboards and a community activity feed show what everyone else is finishing. Free to use. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — and delete your account and data from inside the app whenever you want.

BacklogForge connects to your Steam account, imports your game library, and helps you decide what to play next. It pulls completion time estimates from HowLongToBeat and compares them against your actual playtime to automatically track which games you have finished, which are in progress, and which are still sitting in your backlog. Designed for PC gamers who own large Steam libraries and want a structured, low-friction way to manage them — no spreadsheets, no third-party accounts, all data stored locally. Key Features: - Steam Library Sync — Automatically imports your entire Steam library. BacklogForge fetches HowLongToBeat estimates for every title in the background with live sync progress, so your backlog is always up to date. - Automatic Completion Tracking — Compares your actual playtime against HowLongToBeat targets to mark games as completed, in progress, or unstarted — no manual input needed. Supports Essential, Extended, and Completionist targets per game. - Play Next Recommendations — Two modes to cut through decision paralysis: Shuffle picks a weighted random game from your backlog, while Homestretch surfaces games you're closest to finishing — either by percentage or fewest hours remaining. - Library Statistics — A full stats dashboard with your completion grade (A+ → D-), hours remaining to clear your backlog, average finish time, monthly completion velocity, and a daily budget calculator showing how long until your backlog is clear. - Guest & Offline Mode — No Steam account required. Use the app in guest mode and add games manually. All data is stored locally in SQLite with no cloud sync. - Per-Game Notes & Ratings — Add personal notes and a 1–10 rating to any game. Export and import your full library (including notes and ratings) for backup or device transfer.
