Logged

Logged is a cross-media library for cataloging games alongside films, television, books, and music. It is a strong fit for people who want a shared home for their media records, ratings, and social activity. Its game tools favor personal tracking and reflection over achievement hunting.

Overview

Logged brings five media types into one library, so players can keep a game backlog alongside books they are reading, films they have watched, and music they have heard. You can browse without an account, but building a library, writing reviews, or using social features requires signing up. That makes exploring low-commitment, while participation depends on having an account.

For games, Logged covers the basic arc from wanting to play through playing and finishing, with DNF for titles you stop. Steam imports add playtime, but the service does not track in-game achievements. It is therefore better for organizing a backlog and recording your impressions than for measuring completion in games that use achievements.

Key features

Game records and collections

Users can mark games as want-to-play, in progress, played, or DNF, then give them five-star ratings, write reviews, and add private notes. Catalog entries include platforms, genres, release dates, and artwork sourced from IGDB. This gives a game record more context than a simple checklist, while the statuses remain straightforward enough to use as a backlog workflow.

Collections can mix media types and be public or private. That flexibility suits users who organize around themes that cross formats, as well as those who prefer to keep lists personal. Steam game and playtime imports, Letterboxd movie imports, and Goodreads book imports can reduce the work of starting a library; complete-library exports are available at any time, which helps avoid locking your catalog into the service.

Social features and privacy

Users can follow friends, see their activity, and customize public profiles. These features add a community layer to what could otherwise be a private catalog, but require an account. Profiles can be made private, and users can selectively hide their library, reviews, collections, and activity, giving more control than an all-or-nothing public presence.

Logged says it does not sell personal data, and that account data is removed after a 14-day grace period following account deletion. For help, users can report bugs, suggest features, or join the Discord community.

Pricing

Logged has one plan: Free, forever. It includes unlimited tracking, ratings, reviews, collections, imports, and exports, with light ads. An optional contribution removes the ads. There is no free trial because the free plan is permanent, and the broad allowance makes it practical for a large catalog without a paid tier to unlock basic use.

The trade-off is the advertising, and an account is still needed to add content, review it, or use social tools. Readers who want only to browse can do so without signing up; anyone wanting to build a library should expect to create an account.

Platforms

Logged is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. Its mobile apps and broad desktop and browser support make it suitable for keeping a library across devices, while the lack of in-game achievement tracking remains the same limitation regardless of platform.

Who it's for

Logged is best for people who want one catalog for games and other media, especially those who value reviews, private notes, mixed-media collections, and the option to share activity. It is less suitable for players whose main goal is tracking achievements or for anyone who wants to add content without an account.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Unlimited free tracking, ratings, reviews, collections, imports, and exports make it possible to build a substantial library without a subscription.
• Pros: A single library for five media types and collections that can mix them suits users who organize beyond games alone.
• Pros: Selective privacy controls let users hide particular parts of their activity rather than choosing only between fully public and fully private.
• Cons: Steam playtime imports do not include in-game achievement tracking, so achievement-focused players will need another solution.
• Cons: Adding content and using reviews or social features requires an account, despite account-free browsing.
• Cons: The free plan includes light ads unless users make an optional contribution.

Alternatives

Choose GameTrack if you want a game-focused tracker on Android, iOS, or macOS and are comfortable with a free plan limited to unlimited games, three custom lists, and three tags, with GameTrack+ Monthly at $3.99 a month. Backlog Zero is a better fit for macOS or Windows users who want every feature included, no tiers, and no account, with a pay-what-you-want model that includes paying nothing.

MioLog suits people who prefer a free, open-source, offline-first service with no account, on Android, iOS, or web. Pick Playlogged if you want Android or iOS tracking that works offline without an account or cloud sync. Playloggr is another free-plan option on Android and web, with an unlimited library and wishlist, up to 10 folders and three rankings, and unlimited followers with a public profile.

Backloggd is worth considering if a web-only game tracker with unlimited logging, lists, reviews, and journal tracking fits your needs, though its free plan limits recent activity to 14 days. Grouvee offers web-based game tracking, shelves and lists, ratings, and reviews, and is built and maintained by one person. Infinite Backlog is a free web option, with exclusive perks for Patreon supporters. Browse more options in Game Backlog Trackers.

Verdict

Choose Logged if you want an unlimited free catalog that brings games together with other media, and you value ratings, reviews, imports, exports, and customizable privacy. Its biggest compromise is clear: it records Steam playtime, not in-game achievements. Players who need achievement-level progress tracking should look elsewhere; for everyone else, Logged is a capable home for a broader media library.
