Linux desktop

Your whole collection in a proper desktop window. Browse your shelf, log what you played, see your stats, and let it pick something for game night.

Download

bgdb-desktop-linux-x86_64.tar.gz · 63 MB · 64-bit


Unpack it and run the installer:

tar -xzf bgdb-desktop-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
cd bgdb-desktop-linux-x86_64
./install.sh

Everything goes in your home folder — you won't be asked for a password, and nothing else on your machine is touched. The app then shows up in your applications menu alongside everything else. To remove it later, run ./install.sh --uninstall. You can also just run ./bgdb-desktop to try it without installing anything. Works on any reasonably recent 64-bit Linux desktop.

Web

You're using it. Nothing to install, works on anything with a browser, and new features usually land here first.

Android

Your collection in your pocket — handy in a game shop when you can't remember what you already own. Scan a box's barcode to add it, and it keeps working when you have no signal. Not in the Play Store just yet.

Windows

The same desktop app, made for Windows — everything the Linux one does. There's nothing to download yet, but it's on the way.
