Barklog

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.

Every gamer has the same moment. You see a clip โ a boss fight, a trailer, someone raving about a game you've never heard of โ and you think "I should play that." Then you keep scrolling, and it's gone. Save Slot catches it. SHARE TO SAVE Share any clip, ad, or post from TikTok, YouTube, your browser, or a message from a friend. Save Slot works out which game it is and adds it to your pile. Usually in under four seconds. No account. No sign-up. No login wall. Ever. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Your pile lives on your phone, not on our server. Share a game in a tunnel with no reception and it saves immediately โ we'll work out the title when you surface. TONIGHT'S PICK Forty minutes free and no idea what to play? Tonight's Pick deals you one game at a time from your own pile โ not an algorithm's idea of what you'd like. Play it, skip it, or not tonight. Filter by how long you have and which console you're sitting in front of. Games that aren't out yet stay out of the deck, because suggesting something you can't play tonight isn't a suggestion. RELEASE DAY, PROPERLY Games you're waiting for get a countdown instead of a due date. Release morning becomes an event rather than another thing you're behind on. FIVE STATES, ONE GESTURE Want to play. Playing. Completed. Shelved. Not for me. Move a game between any two with a single swipe, in either direction. You can always un-shelve something. Nothing is a commitment. NO GUILT MECHANICS The gaming community calls it "the pile of shame." We think that's the problem. Save Slot has no streaks. No overdue counts. No completion percentages quietly implying you're behind. No red badges. Shelving a game is a decision you made, not a failure you're being tracked on. Your pile is a list of things you were excited about. That's worth keeping properly. FOUNDER'S CARTRIDGES The premium upgrade is a collectible, not a subscription trap. Four tiers styled after graded retro cartridges โ Loose, CIB, Sealed, and Graded โ and each one is a ONE-TIME purchase that unlocks everything, permanently. Buy in at $1.99 and never see a subscription. The Graded tier carries its own sequential certification number. Yours, forever. Prefer a subscription? That's there too. Both unlock exactly the same features. YOURS TO TAKE Export your whole pile to JSON or CSV whenever you want. It's your list. You should be able to walk away with it. Save Slot is a tool for people with more games than evenings. It won't nag you, rank you, or tell you how far behind you are. It just remembers what you were excited about, and helps you pick one.
