PlayCounter — Every game. Any launcher. One playtime.

The blind spot

Steam says you've played 400 hours. But what about the 80 in Epic, the GOG classics, the emulated retro runs, the indie you bought on itch?

They're invisible.

Your real gaming life is split across a dozen launchers that will never talk to each other. PlayCounter is the layer that sits above all of them.

How it works

Set it once. Then never think about it.

No manual logging, no importing libraries, no linking accounts. PlayCounter does the watching so you can do the playing.

Install & forget it

PlayCounter runs quietly in the background and notices the moment a game starts — whatever launcher it came from.

It matches the game

Running executables are matched against a real games database with cover art. Not sure which game it is? You confirm with one click.

Your library builds itself

Playtime, sessions and history accumulate automatically. Open the app whenever you're curious — it's all already there.

Everything inside

One app for your whole gaming life.

One unified library

Every game PlayCounter has ever seen — with covers, total playtime, session counts and averages. Search, sort, grid or list.

Private by design

Tracking happens on your machine. Sharing to the feed is one toggle — anonymous, and off until you turn it on.

Share anonymously your choice, always

Community-powered matching

Found a game we don't know yet? Match it yourself — and help every other player who launches it after you.

Full session history

Every play session you've had — start, end, duration — kept locally and yours to keep.

Why we're building this

We want to see what the world is actually playing.

Right now there's nowhere to look. Steam shows Steam. Epic shows Epic. The full, launcher-free picture of what gamers are playing right now doesn't exist anywhere. So we're building it — one tracker that unifies every source, and a global pulse made from the players who choose to share, anonymously.

Every player who shares makes the picture sharper. No pressure, no account — just flip the switch whenever you're ready.

Frequently asked

Is PlayCounter really free?

Yes. 100% free. No hidden subscriptions, no feature paywalls. We believe a unified gaming library should be a basic utility for everyone.

Do I need to create an account?

No account required. All your playtime data and history are stored locally on your machine.

What about privacy and data collection?

PlayCounter watches your processes locally to detect games. We do not harvest your personal data. Community features (like the live feed) are strictly opt-in and fully anonymous.

Which launchers are supported?

All of them. Steam, Epic Games, GOG, EA, Ubisoft, Battle.net, standalone executables, and even emulators. If it runs on your OS, PlayCounter can track it.

Can I track other non-gaming software?

Yes! As long as it's a process running on your PC, you can track it. Whether it's Spotify, Photoshop, or your code editor, PlayCounter can keep time for anything you choose.
