Steam & GOG · syncs itself

Your Steam & GOG backlog, beautifully sorted.

You own hundreds of games and still spend twenty minutes deciding. Ludenza pulls both libraries into one clean view: what you're playing, how far you actually are, and what to start tonight.

  • Read-only, and no password for either store
  • Free forever, no ads
  • Export or delete everything anytime

Signing in needs a Steam account; GOG is added afterwards, from Settings.

Features

Everything a backlog needs. None of the busywork.

Both libraries, one shelf

Connect Steam, add your GOG name, and every game you own stays current on its own. Playtime, achievements, all of it.

Progress you can trust

Your hours against how long the game actually takes to beat. Where a store doesn't track playtime, Ludenza says so instead of guessing.

An answer, not a shelf

Ludenza names the game to start tonight from your own backlog. Something acclaimed, something quick, or something you nearly finished last year.

Better with friends

Co-op games you and a friend both own but neither has started. Works with anyone on Steam, whether they use Ludenza or not.

Know your pile

Hours left to clear it, your quickest wins, how many games you've never launched, and how long that'd all take at a casual pace.

Yours to keep

Private notes on any game, filters by genre and store, and a one-click export of the lot whenever you want it.

How it works

Two minutes to set up, then it runs itself.

1

Connect your stores

Steam is one click through Steam itself. GOG is just your username. No password either way.

2

Everything fills in

Playtime and achievements land first. Ratings, genres and time-to-beat follow over the next few minutes.

3

Clear the pile

Start something you'll actually finish, see what you've beaten, and find a co-op game for the weekend.

Why bother

Steam sells you games. It doesn't help you finish them.

Questions

Is Ludenza free?

Yes, completely free and ad-free, and every feature stays free. No tier, no card, no trial. If it's useful, you can buy me a coffee to help keep it online and maintained.

How do I sign in?

One click through Steam (OpenID). No password, and Ludenza only reads your public Steam data.

Does Ludenza work with GOG?

Yes. Add your GOG username in Settings and Ludenza reads your public GOG profile. There's no password and no OAuth, because GOG doesn't issue third-party sign-in at all. Worth knowing: GOG only records playtime for games launched through Galaxy, so anything you ran outside it shows as “playtime not tracked” rather than pretending you never played it.

What about Epic, Xbox or PlayStation?

Steam and GOG today. Others may follow. The data layer already handles more than one store, so it comes down to what each of them exposes.

I own the same game on both stores. What happens?

You get both copies, each with a small store label. They aren't merged on purpose: the two have genuinely different playtime, achievements and progress, and merging would mean silently picking one and throwing the other away.

How long does the first sync take?

Your games and playtime show up within seconds. Ratings, genres and time-to-beat estimates fill in over the next few minutes while Ludenza looks each game up. You can browse the whole time, and it picks up where it left off if you close the tab.

My library shows up empty. How do I fix it?

On Steam, “Game details” has its own privacy setting separate from your profile. Set it to Public, then sync again. On GOG, your profile's games have to be visible to visitors who aren't signed in; if they're hidden, Ludenza will tell you exactly that rather than showing an empty shelf.

How does Ludenza know how far I am in a game?

It compares your playtime to how long the game takes to finish, from HowLongToBeat. Achievements are tracked separately, and multiplayer games, which never really end, show co-op or versus time instead of a progress bar.

How does it decide a game is completed?

Once your playtime clearly passes the main-story estimate, or you've unlocked every achievement, it marks itself Completed. You can set any status by hand at any time, and your choice always wins over the automatic one.

Is my data private?

Your Ludenza profile is private by default. You choose whether to share a public page, and it only ever reflects data your store profiles already show publicly.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, from Settings, in one click. It permanently removes your synced library, notes, playtime history and friends. No email to send, no waiting period.

What is a Steam backlog tracker?

It turns the libraries you already own into a clear picture of what you're playing, what you've finished, and what's still waiting, so you can decide what to play instead of endlessly scrolling. Ludenza builds that from your real Steam and GOG playtime and how long each game takes to beat.

Stop wondering what to play.

Connect Steam and your whole backlog is sorted, measured and ready in about ten seconds.
