Backlog Basket

400+ games and nothing to play? Try Backlog Basket!

We all know the feeling. Open Steam, scroll for twenty minutes, and close it without playing anything. Backlog Basket beats choice paralysis, removing the friction between you and your next favorite game.

How it works

Pick a handful of things you actually want to get to this week. Drop them in the basket. Leave it on your desktop. When free time shows up, the decision is already made.

Reduces choice paralysis. Pick a handful of things, put them in the basket, and start from there.
Keeps your current things visible. Not buried in tabs, bookmarks, or a list you'll forget exists. Right there on your desktop.
Makes starting easier. When you finally have free time, you don't waste it deciding what to do.
