In one paragraph
Mayak is a game-discovery app for iPhone and iPad for people who own more games than they have time to play. Instead of scrolling store pages, you swipe through a deck of game cards: right to wishlist, left to never see it again. The deck learns your taste from what you do, on your device, not on a server, and gets sharper with every swipe. Your Steam, PlayStation and Xbox libraries import themselves, hours played included, so your whole collection lives in one place. Mayak is built by one developer, in SwiftUI, with no third-party tracking. Free to use; Mayak+ removes the daily deck limit.
In fifty words
Mayak finds your next favorite game in swipes, not hours. Every card is a game picked for you; the deck learns your taste on your device. Steam, PlayStation and Xbox libraries import themselves, hours played included. Native iOS, no tracking, built by one developer. Free, with Mayak+ for unlimited swipes.
