The everyday loop

Starting a new game

Three paths depending on where the game came from:

• Bought it on Steam/GOG/PSN with sync on → it shows up on the Add page with a "new on Steam/GOG/PSN" badge. Click into the importer and add it as Playing.
• Bought it on a connected store, sync hasn't run yet → either wait for tomorrow's cron, or hit Refresh now on the importer to force a sync.
• Physical, gift, indie key, etc. → Add → search, find the title, drop it in as Playing.

Logging a session

For managed games (Steam/GOG/PSN) you don't need to log anything — playtime updates on its own. For manual games, open the detail page and edit hours / progress / notes. Everything auto-saves a second after you stop typing.

Want to mark a milestone? Write a free-form journal entry on the detail page — "beat Margit," "finished the Heart questline," "officially love this game." Entries are timestamped and live alongside status changes in the journal timeline.

Finishing a game

On the card: click the status pill to cycle Playing → Finished. On the detail page: change the Status dropdown.

Give it a rating (1–10), drop a final journal note, and move on. The game stays in your library forever — your finished list is a year-long highlight reel by default.

Dropping a game

Dropped is not Failed. It's an honest acknowledgement that you're not going back. Use it freely — dropped games are still part of your history, just filtered out of the active rotation.

Tags & platforms

Tags are freeform labels you can attach to games. Platforms come from a fixed list (PS5, PC, Switch, etc.). Both are pure metadata for filtering and searching your own library.

• Tag ideas: soulslike, co-op, backlog-2026, comfort, one-sitting.
• Use them to make filters: "show me all my soulslike + finished games."

Publishing a public profile

Optional. If you want a shareable page at /u/your-name:

1. Settings → Public Profile.
2. Claim a username (3–24 chars, lowercase letters, digits, _ or -).
3. Pick a class (Amazon, Necromancer, etc.) and accent color — pure flavor.
4. Toggle Make profile public.

Finished games appear on your profile. Games you mark Hidden (eye icon on the detail page) stay private regardless of profile visibility.

Tome export

From your public profile (visible only to you when logged in) you can hit Open Tome for a print-styled full export of your library. Four formats: PDF, Markdown, CSV, JSON. Useful for year-in-review posts, backups, or just satisfying nostalgia.
