What are you all using for game/library tracking, on Steamdeck? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I've been thinking about organising my growing library a bit, mostly to mark games I consider as completed.

But also to mark games I played but lost interest in, or games I've finished together with my kids instead of myself alone.

I started doing that in Steam but as I added games via GOG or Epic Games store, or emulators, Steam and would lose their tags (or rather their belonging to a collection) as soon as I uninstalled them.

Also if as a bonus the system could suggest new games based on what I finished or maybe based on ratings I give, that would be nice but not necessary.

Is there any straightforward solution to use? Either general something device-independent or specifically on the Steamdeck locally. Can also selfhost software if there is anything good.

How are you all doing that?

IGDB looks interesting, but I realise I think I'd rather like something that can be run independently or has some way to export data in some manner, maybe IGDB has that. Didn't check yet. Reason being, as soon as they close their doors I have to start over. Maybe that will never happen, maybe it happens next month.
