Questions
Does Logfolio show how long a game takes?
No. For completion times, HowLongToBeat is the place. Logfolio logs what you played, when, and what you thought.
Can I keep a backlog?
Yes. Backlog is one of the four shelves for games, with Playing, Played and Dropped.
Does Logfolio sync Steam?
Yes, on Pro. Connect your Steam profile, then choose which games to add.
Can I log how long I played?
Yes. Every game has an Hours played field, shown on your page. Steam sync fills it in for you (Pro).
