If you’re into films, then you’ve probably heard of Letterboxd, a platform that lets you keep track of your watch history, rate movies, and discover new films through other users. For gaming, Backloggd has long served a similar purpose, offering a dedicated space to log your gaming history, track your backlog, and review titles.
However, despite becoming a popular destination for gaming enthusiasts, Backloggd has remained exclusively browser-based, with a dedicated mobile app being one of its most highly requested features. Well, that could finally be changing, as Backloggd is launching its first mobile app in closed beta, with access starting today.
Backloggd Takes First Step Towards Mobile Future
The announcement comes directly from Backloggd’s Patreon, where the team confirmed that its mobile app is planned to launch in full in 2027, with support for both Android and iOS devices.
Fortunately, if you’re an Android user, you won’t have to wait too long to get involved. Backloggd Patreon Backers will gain access to the app’s closed beta, which begins today. Unfortunately, development on the iOS version has been progressing a little slower, meaning Apple users will have to wait a bit longer before getting their hands on the app.
Backloggd has outlined the rollout schedule for both platforms, with Android users getting the first opportunity to try the app. The closed beta begins today for Backers, followed by an open beta in Spring 2027. iOS users, meanwhile, can expect their closed beta to begin in early 2027, with the open beta also planned for Spring 2027.
Both versions of the app are currently scheduled to launch fully in Summer 2027.
The gradual rollout is intended to give the team enough time to stabilise the app, address bugs, and implement fixes at a manageable pace before making it available to everyone. From the Open Beta onwards, it’ll be completely free to access, allowing you to catalogue your game library, track your progress, and leave reviews without paying a penny.
If you’re interested in giving it a go, you don’t need to wait for the mobile app to arrive. Backloggd’s website has been available for quite some time, so you can start building your gaming diary right now—check it out here.
