About Cartridge
What is Cartridge?
Cartridge is a free video game tracker for iPhone. It keeps your backlog, ratings, reviews and shareable game collections — called Stacks — in one Library. You can add games by search or save finds from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Reddit links.

What can you track in your Library?
Your Library holds the games you want to play, are playing and have played. You can mark a game as completed or abandoned, add a rating and write a short review. It works as a record of your taste as well as a backlog of games for later.
Cartridge runs on your iPhone, but your Library can contain games from PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and other platforms. It tracks games; it does not sell or run them. You do not need friends on Cartridge to get value from your own Library.
What is a Stack?
A Stack is a collection of games you put together with a name and your own notes. Make one for a friend, a theme or your favourites, then share it as a card or a public link. Public Stacks can receive likes and comments. Creating unlimited Stacks is free.
A public Stack link can be viewed in a browser. Tracked, friend-to-friend share links are different: their landing page sends the recipient into Cartridge without displaying the Stack’s private contents.
What is free, and what does Cartridge Plus add?
Cartridge is free to download and use. A Plus subscription is optional, not a requirement for your Library, reviews or Stacks. Social link capture from TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and Reddit is also free. An account is required to save your Library. Free accounts may see contextual ads.
