Playnite on Android sync your library to your phone.

Playnite has no official Android app. PlayLog is the companion built for playnite android, playnite mobile, and playnite on phone searches: install the plugin, pair once, and keep your backlog current on Android and web.

If you manage PC games in Playnite, you already know the gap: there is no native Playnite launcher on Android. PlayLog closes it. You get a real mobile app and a personal game tracker, not a one-time JSON dump.

PlayLog is also the name people type as play log in search. Same app: PlayLog is your game library on Android when Playnite stays on desktop.

What you can do on Android

  • Browse and search your full Playnite library away from your desk
  • See playtime and sessions synced from PC
  • Organize with playlists, shelves, statuses, and notes
  • Update backlog and playing states that sync back through Playnite
  • Use mobile data: no same-Wi-Fi requirement after pairing

Setup in four steps

  1. Install PlayLog from Google Play or create an account on the web app.
  2. In Playnite on PC, install the PlayLog add-on from the add-on store.
  3. Pair the plugin with your PlayLog account using the code shown in the app.
  4. Wait for the first sync, then browse your library on Android from anywhere.

PlayLog vs export workarounds

Some Playnite on android threads recommend Drive sync or JSON export apps. Those can work for a static list. They fall behind the moment you buy a game, finish a title, or log new playtime on PC.

PlayLog is built for ongoing sync: add-on on PC, account in the cloud, library on your phone. That is why it ranks for playnite android and playlog playnite intent, and why PC-first players stick with it.
