Backlog Zero

For the gamer who buys more than they play.

Backlog Zero launched on May 12, 2026.

What it does

Built after discovering I owned the same game on 3 platforms without knowing it. Backlog Zero unifies your Steam, Xbox, GOG, Epic, and Amazon libraries, detects duplicates across all platforms, and gives you a full picture of your gaming life — stats dashboard, Identity Dossier, session tracking, backlog goals, price tracking, and a randomizer when you can't decide what to play next. No account. No cloud. Fully offline. Free.

Backlog Zero is a free local-first video game library manager for Mac and Windows. Version 1.3.0 improves library trust with cleaner counts, smarter GOG and Heroic imports, add-on handling, recalibration, and post-sync cleanup.

Backlog Zero started as a question: how many times do I own the same game? It grew into a free video game library manager for Steam, Xbox, GOG, Epic Games, and Amazon Luna — with duplicate detection, session tracking, backlog goals, and no judgment about the size of the pile. Multiple platforms. A wishlist that never gets checked. A backlog that only grows. Backlog Zero was built to handle all of it — no account needed, no data leaving your machine. Every game you own, on every platform, in one place. Add games, assign statuses, fetch cover art, spot duplicates, and actually know what your collection looks like. Cleaner owned-game counts, smarter GOG and Heroic imports, add-ons that stop…from backlogzero.app

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
