Trophy Rooms

Read full description

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 โ€” backlog, playing, paused, completed, dropped โ€” 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 โ€” and delete your account and data from inside the app whenever you want.

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/
