MioLog is a free, open-source gaming journal and backlog app for tracking a game collection, logging play, drafting reviews, and choosing what to play next. It works offline and requires no account. The cover-first library has filters for backlog, finished, and paused games, while game pages hold session times, ratings, reviews, and dated play logs. Mio's Choice suggests games from the local library without an AI service. Year in Review gathers finished games, favorite platforms, play time, and ratings into a shareable card. Review drafting is available on-device; optional Mio Server enables server-backed drafting and cross-device sync. The server is free, open source, and self-hostable. MioLog is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and can be installed on an iPhone or iPad home screen through Safari or on Android through Chrome. The app is licensed under AGPL, and its site says users can inspect how local data and backups work. A demo with sample games and logs is available to explore its Home, Library, and journal sections.
