Solo dev built a game backlog tracker to cure choice paralysis
A built a personal called Tracklog (tracklog.co.uk) to solve a common problem: owning too many games and not knowing which one to play next. The app has four main features. A random picker lets you add your game backlog and hit a button to have the app choose for you, with filters for genre, platform, length, and developer.
A session log lets you record each time you play and tracks your real habits over time, such as average session length. An insights screen shows your completion rate, which genres you tend to finish, and a forecast of how long it would take to get through your entire backlog at your current pace. A queue feature lets you line up your next few games when you do want to plan ahead.
HLTB data is built in, showing estimated play times before you commit to a game. A free trial is currently available and the developer is actively seeking feedback.
