Apploggd is a game scrobbler for Backloggd. It sits in the system tray,
detects the game you're playing, times the session and logs the playtime to your Backloggd
journal when you close the game — no browser, no manual entry.
Features
- Automatic game detection — by executable name against a ~10 MB detection database, with window heuristics as a fallback.
- Manual picker — if a game isn't recognized, search Backloggd from inside the app and pick the right entry.
- Playtime accumulates per day — several sessions of the same game on the same day are added to the existing journal entry instead of overwriting it.
- Recently played — your latest journal entries at a glance.
- Self-updating detection database — refreshed at startup with an
ETagcheck, so nothing is downloaded when it hasn't changed. An embedded copy ships with the app for the first run and for offline use.
Requirements
- Windows 10/11 (Linux/macOS builds start and the UI works, but detection isn't implemented yet).
- A Chromium-based browser (Chrome or Edge). If you don't have one, the app offers to download its own (~400 MB).
- A Backloggd account.
Installation
- Download the *zip below.
- Extract it wherever you like — it's portable, there's no installer.
- Run
Apploggd.exe.
Keep the whole extracted folder together: the .exe needs the native libraries and Playwright files shipped alongside it.

Feedback
Game not detected, or something detected that isn't a game? Please open an issue with the game and executable name so it can be added to the database or the exclusion list.
