What Playd does

The full list, from the first game you add to the last CSV you export. The same library runs on Windows, where it launches games and lets the phone control the PC.

iOS 26.2 or later iPhone & iPad Free · no account

The library, kept current

Six statuses, one history, and lists you can rank or leave as a shelf.

A status for every stage

Backlog, Playing, Paused, Completed, Dropped, and Tracked for games you only want notes on. Completed and dropped games keep their dates, so the history stays accurate.

Backlog Playing Paused Completed Dropped

Lists, built your way

Masterpiece, Comfort Games, Games To Play On A Sick Day. Turn on ranked mode and the list keeps an order; leave it off and it works as a shelf.

Notes that stay with the game

Where you stopped, which boss is still standing, and what you want to remember. Notes survive every backup and import.

1 note · 2 screenshots

Screenshots and trailers

Screenshots sit behind a blurred backdrop. Tap for fullscreen, pinch to zoom, and the trailer link stays one tap away.

Playtime, added up

PC sessions add minutes to each game and each month, so playtime is already counted when you check.

The details worth checking before you give a game an evening.

Search your library or the catalog

Flip a switch to search the whole catalog instead of your own shelves. Both open the same detail sheet, and adding a result takes one tap.

Crack status

Checked against PreDB, with the release group and crack date on the game page. A game that has not released cannot be marked cracked.

What Playd handles for you

Sessions, reminders, and library edits, without a menu to open.

The PC sends the session

Playd on the PC matches the game window with focus and sends the session over your local network. Cracked and portable installs count like any other. The session lands on your phone with playtime, a Live Activity, and a Lock Screen timer. Playd for Windows is that app: the library, the launcher, and Remote.

Session ended · 1h 32m NOW PLAYING on the Lock Screen Banner notification with cover art

Siri shortcuts

Ask what to play or have Siri update a game. It shows a confirmation card before anything changes.

Mark a game as completed

An assistant that can edit

Ask about your library or tell it what to change. It looks things up, suggests what to play, and makes edits after you confirm them. It runs on-device, or with your own API key if you want a larger model.

On-device OpenAI-compatible Waits for confirmation

Refresh rechecks the library

Pull to refresh and Playd checks releases, crack status, and missing cover art. A toast tells you what changed.

Updated: 2 released, 3 cracked

Achievements, without Steam

Playd for Windows reads the achievement definitions and unlock events a supported emulator already wrote: Goldberg/GBE, CODEX/RUNE, ALI213, OnlineFix, CreamAPI, SKIDROW, 3DM, RLD!, Razor1911, and more. Browse the full list, filter it, and keep earned history after the save is gone. A fresh unlock gets a black, click-through banner and a short chime while the game keeps focus. No Steam account, no DLL injection, no generated achievement sets. Download Playd for Windows.

Playd for Windows

The library you already keep, on the PC where the games are installed.

Launch what is already installed

Installed games lists what this PC can start. Scan PC reads Steam, Epic, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, EA, and Xbox, and it can check the drives. Stop scan keeps what it has already found. Launch game is on the card and in the game’s details.

Steam Epic GOG Ubisoft Connect EA Xbox

Folders, and games that are not installed

A folder is a name you give. Moving a game into it leaves the files where they are. A library game that is not on this PC shows Install. Each row opens a page: Steam, GOG, Epic, itch.io, the publisher, a FitGirl or DODI listing, or a price comparison. Playd does not download or run an installer. Finding a game leaves it off your library until you add it.

New folder Install opens a page

The phone controls the PC

Remote stays off until you turn it on. The PC shows a six-digit code, and the phone pairs once. On the same Wi-Fi the phone shows the screen, and your finger is the mouse and the keyboard. Turn the PC off, hibernate it, or set a timer that Windows still runs if you close Playd. Wake reaches a sleeping PC on that Wi-Fi. The display button sits at the top of Discover, Backlog, Playing, Library, and Search. It is not a tab. Siri can wake, shut down, or hibernate that PC, and it asks first.

Screen Touchpad Keyboard Turn off Hibernate Wake on this Wi-Fi

Away from home

Sign in to the same Playd account on the phone and the PC. The PC has to be on, with Playd open and Remote still on. Wake stays on the home Wi-Fi.

The same shelves

Discover, backlog, playing, library, lists, achievements, and the assistant are in the Windows app. Ratings still run from 0 to 11. Notes, Steam reviews, and time to beat sit on the game. Closing the window leaves playtime detection running until you quit from the tray.

One library, if you want an account

The library works with no account. Sign in when you want the phone and the PC to share it. On the same network, sessions still arrive without that sign-in. A Windows build can check the release for a newer Playd.exe.

No account required Optional Playd Cloud Windows 10 or 11

Your library leaves with you

You should be able to leave any app with your library intact. Playd makes that easy on purpose.

Google Drive backup

An optional backup to your own Google Drive. A restore matches games instead of duplicating them, and when the backup and phone disagree, you pick the winner.

Bring your library with you

Drop in a CSV from any tracker. Playd works out the format and maps status, rating, and playtime.

CSV out, any time

Export the library with lists, playtime, and crack state. The same file imports back, which is how you move to a new device without a cloud account.

What stays on your device

Your library lives on your phone. The assistant runs on-device unless you supply your own key. PlayedSync uses your local network, keys go in the Keychain, and Playd asks before it changes something you did not just tap.

Questions about Playd

What does Playd cost?
Playd is free to use, with the on-device assistant included. If you connect a larger model with your own API key, that provider bills you directly.
Which devices does Playd run on?
iPhone or iPad on iOS 26.2 or later, and Windows 10 or 11 on a 64-bit PC. The phone installs through SideStore for now, and from the App Store when the listing goes live. The Windows app is a single Playd.exe.
Where does the data come from?
A catalog service supplies search, covers, and details. Steam supplies reviews, HowLongToBeat supplies time-to-beat estimates, and PreDB supplies crack status. Fetched data is cached so the app stays fast and works offline.
How does PC tracking work?
Playd for Windows matches the foreground window and sends the session to your phone over the local network. The session stays on your network. Because Playd matches the window rather than scanning folders, portable and cracked installs count the same. That app is also where you launch installed games and turn on Remote.
How does the phone control the PC?
Turn Remote on in Playd for Windows. The PC shows a six-digit code. Enter it once on the phone. On the same Wi-Fi you get the screen, a touchpad, a keyboard, and power: turn off, hibernate, a timer, and wake. Away from home, use the same Playd account on both. The PC has to be on, with Playd open and Remote still on. Wake stays on the home Wi-Fi.
What happens if I reinstall?
Restore from the optional Google Drive backup or import your CSV. Games already on the device update in place, so the library does not double.
Can I turn the assistant off?
Yes. The assistant is one sheet in the app. Tracking, lists, playtime, imports, and Siri shortcuts all work without it.
When is Playd coming to the App Store?
Playd is being prepared for the App Store. The download links and QR code on this site will point at the listing when it is live.
