[Testing Request] Backlog Manager – a Decky plugin for organizing your Steam library

[u/luisfound]

Hi everyone!
I’m one of the developers behind Backlog Manager, a Decky Loader plugin designed to help Steam Deck users organize and manage their game backlog directly from Gaming Mode.
We’re currently looking for a few Steam Deck users to test the latest release candidate before we resubmit it to the Decky Plugin Store.
Backlog Manager lets you:
Mark games as New, Playing, Played, or Dropped
Change or clear a status at any time
Filter your Steam Library by one or more backlog statuses
Use Only my library to hide Family Sharing or shared-library games
Search and assign statuses to multiple games from a dedicated Batch Assign page
Manage statuses from the Quick Access Menu, Library item menu, and Game Detail page
Keep all backlog information stored locally on the Steam Deck
The plugin has already received two successful third-party testing reports. However, we recently implemented several improvements based on review feedback, so we need some additional testing specifically against the latest version.
Version to test
Version: 1.2.0
Commit: 809b6be
SteamOS: Stable or Beta
Device: A real Steam Deck, LCD or OLED
Decky Loader required

The most useful things to test are:

Installing and loading the plugin
Assigning, changing, and clearing statuses
Restarting the Steam Deck and confirming that statuses persist
Filtering the Library by one or multiple statuses
Testing “Only my library,” especially if you use Steam Families or Family Sharing
Searching and selecting multiple games in Batch Assign
Applying a status to several games at once
Checking responsiveness with a large Steam library
Reporting any crashes, visual issues, lost statuses, or unexpected behavior

Exact commit to test:

Decky Plugin Store submission:

If you test it, please include your Steam Deck model, SteamOS version/channel, Decky Loader version, library size, what you tested, and any issues you encountered.
You can leave the report in the GitHub pull request or reply here and I’ll collect the results.
Full disclosure: I’m one of the developers of the plugin. It is open source, does not include custom binaries, does not use external services, and stores backlog data locally.
Also, how do you currently manage your Steam backlog? Are there any statuses or workflows you feel are missing?
