That list is the apps already on this phone. You tick the ones you want to track. gameX is not a store, and it does not install games.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\" style=\"width:320px;max-width:100%;margin:1.6rem auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-library.webp\" alt=\"gameX Games list with Play on each title and Import games from this device\" class=\"wp-image-1471\" style=\"width:320px;height:auto\" width=\"720\" height=\"1383\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-library.webp 720w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-library-156x300.webp 156w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-library-533x1024.webp 533w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Games lists titles already installed. Import does not download new ones.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For each game you can set the name, a genre, and whether wins and losses are logged. Notes, combo steps, and a personal trophy list can sit with that game. The trophy list is yours. It is not a Steam or Play Games import.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time a session and write down the result<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Play, on Home or on a game, launches that game and starts the clock. A session is one timed block for one game. When you stop, gameX saves how long you played, the win or loss, and a note if you add one. You can also add a past session by typing the minutes yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\" style=\"width:320px;max-width:100%;margin:1.6rem auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-sessions.webp\" alt=\"gameX Sessions with a 7-day bar, weekly goal slider, and session history\" class=\"wp-image-1472\" style=\"width:320px;height:auto\" width=\"720\" height=\"1450\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-sessions.webp 720w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-sessions-149x300.webp 149w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-sessions-508x1024.webp 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sessions keeps the last seven days, a weekly goal you set, and history. Add past is for a session you already played.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new install sets a weekly goal of 300 minutes. You can change that goal. Home shows the week\u2019s time, a streak, and the goal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the overlay does<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The overlay is a small panel over the game you are playing. From it you can mark a win or a loss, run a saved timer, and reach a few device controls, including Do Not Disturb, brightness, and orientation lock. Stop ends the session without opening gameX first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\" style=\"width:320px;max-width:100%;margin:1.6rem auto\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-overlay-track.webp\" alt=\"gameX Play overlay Track tab with the session clock, Win, Loss, and a timer\" class=\"wp-image-1469\" style=\"width:320px;height:auto\" width=\"720\" height=\"743\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-overlay-track.webp 720w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/gamex-overlay-track-291x300.webp 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Track marks a win or a loss and runs a saved timer.

That permission is not the same as unlocking the overlay. A finished reward video unlocks the overlay for 3 hours. Closing the video early does not. gameX VIP leaves the overlay on. The panel cannot read another game\u2019s frame rate, and it cannot read in-game ping.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools that stay on the phone<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More holds tools that stay inside gameX. Loadout Notes are notes for one game. Combo Cards are numbered steps you can walk through one at a time. Warm-up Deck runs timed drills. Trophy Desk is your own checklist. Party Tools can split teams, pick an order, or keep a scoreboard, and they work offline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Night Shade warms the screen inside gameX only. It does not tint the game you launched. Focus Mode can keep the gameX screen awake and start a tracked session. Pausing other audio ducks music apps. It does not change the game\u2019s own volume.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What stays free<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The library, sessions, notes, and those tools are free. Ads can show unless you have gameX VIP. VIP is a yearly purchase through Google Play, and the price is the one Play shows for your account. You can cancel it in Play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">gameX needs Android 6 or newer. It does not sync a library to the cloud, and it does not run on iPhone or a PC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<aside class=\"pe-cta\"><div class=\"pe-cta__body\"><div class=\"pe-cta__lead\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-23-at-18.39.36-300x300.jpeg\" class=\"pe-cta__logo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-23-at-18.39.36-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-23-at-18.39.36-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/pictureecho.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-23-at-18.39.36.jpeg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><div class=\"pe-cta__words\"><p class=\"pe-cta__name\">gameX: Play Companion<\/p><p class=\"pe-cta__text\">Track play sessions, log wins and losses, and use an overlay while you play.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><a class=\"pe-cta__btn\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.sorcim.gamex\">Get gameX<\/a><\/aside>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The games are already on your Android phone. gameX: Play Companion does not play them.
