Gamify your backlog: Unify PC, Xbox & retro game libraries

by

I play across Steam, Epic, GOG, and Game Pass, plus an emulation setup, and my "library" was really five separate launchers and a folder of ROMs I'd never bothered to organize. I wanted one place that showed everything I own — and made actually playing it feel like it counted for something.

So I built GameSave (Windows, .NET/WPF). What it does today:

  • Pulls your Steam / Epic / GOG / Xbox libraries into one view

  • Tracks your play time for every game

  • Imports a retro/ROM collection and auto-fills box art + metadata by file hash — no manual scraping, and it sets up RetroArch for you

  • Automatically backs up your save files so you don't lose progress

  • Stats, achievements, and global leaderboards across your whole library — think Gamerscore, but for everything you play instead of one platform

  • An in-app economy with credits you earn for actually playing your games and a store to spend them to unlock features

  • A backlog manager that incentivizes you to finish the games you own instead of buying more

  • Global leaderboards where you and your games compete against others

  • Fully translated/localized in 40 languages

  • …and a lot more

It's free and in open beta. Being honest about the rough edges: it's Windows-only for now, the UI's still getting polished, and the first scan on a big library can take a minute.

A few years ago, I had a real problem motivating myself to finish the games I owned, so I made a "completed games" spreadsheet — every time I beat a game I got to add it to the list, and it genuinely helped. But manually googling each game's info and grabbing its thumbnail got old fast. GameSave is a massive evolution of that spreadsheet: it tracks every game you complete, and your entire PC gaming history lives on a “History” page.

Honestly, I want it to become a must-have companion app for PC gaming, I want it to motivate people to finish their games. Ambitious, I know. I just added a Speedrunning page too. Any feedback — or suggestions for what to build next — is hugely appreciated. Brutal is welcome.

Thanks for checking it out. Questions/suggestions/info? Contact me:
