▸ Core Features

Stop feeling guilty about the backlog.
Start finishing it... Kill it!

Built for the gamer whose backlog keeps growing and whose schedule keeps shrinking. Four tools, one app.

Library with status tracking

Track every game you want to play, and sort them easily. Built-in IGDB metadata — artwork, ratings, runtime — so adding takes seconds.

Session scheduling and reminders

Got a free hour Tuesday at 9? Block it. The app reminds you when it's time to play and tracks your streak when you actually show up.

Discover new games with personalized recommendations

Don't know what to play next? Update your recommendation profiles and let the app find something you'll love. It will match games based on your preferences and availability.

Streaks, XP, and bounties

Finishing games feels good. We turned that into XP, bounties bounties, and a streak that levels you up — without making it a chore — just for fun.

▸ Kill the Backlog Pro

Built free. Kept free. Powered by you.

The core app — library, scheduling, discovery, streaks — is free, forever. Pro is how you keep the lights on and unlock a few power-user extras.

Core features free, always No ads. Ever. Indie-built, player-funded

Why a Pro tier exists.

We're a small team building this in public. We don't sell ads, we don't sell your data, and we never will — those are dopamine traps, and this app is supposed to do the opposite. Pro is a simple way for the players getting the most out of Kill the Backlog to fund the development of the app for everyone else. If you're getting value out of the free tier, that's the goal. If you want to chip in, Pro gets you a few quality-of-life upgrades and the warm feeling of keeping an indie app alive.

Pro

Unlimited playing queue

Free users track up to 3 games at once. Go Pro to add as many as you want — your full backlog, your full library, no caps.

Pro

Collections

Organize your library into custom groups — by genre, mood, co-op night, "after work," whatever makes sense to you.

Pro

Session notifications

Push reminders before your scheduled sessions so you actually sit down and play — not scroll past your own calendar.

Pro

Gaming availability

Set your weekly play windows — Tuesdays after 9, weekends after lunch — and let the app understand your real-life schedule.

Pro

Smart insights

Estimated completion times based on your actual weekly availability — not generic HowLongToBeat averages. Know what you can really finish.
