This offline Android app picks three games from your backlog based on how much time you have tonight.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

Sunk Cost separates its recommendations into three deliberate roles: a game that can be finished in the available session, the oldest untouched game, and a wildcard. Session length changes the answers, while the app also calculates backlog measures such as total hours, the age of the oldest game, and unopened purchases. The site says the backlog is stored locally on the phone, without an account, sign-in, or sync. Android distribution is described as forthcoming rather than confirmed as available.
