BookMaster — Reading Progress Tracker Your digital bookmark. Always visible. Track where you are in every physical book you're reading. See your progress on your home screen. No accounts, no social features, no subscriptions. Just you and your books. WHY BOOKMASTER You read physical books. Maybe several at once. You lose bookmarks, forget page numbers, wonder how far along you actually are. BookMaster fixes that in seconds — open it, tap your book, update your page. Done. With widgets on your home screen and Lock Screen, you don't even need to open it — your current book is right there, showing where you left off. Tap a widget to log your new page. WHAT YOU GET - Track page progress across multiple books - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — tap any widget to log your page - Reading goals — yearly, quarterly, or monthly targets - Color-coded books with auto-generated visual identity - Beautiful insights: reading pace, time to complete, and progress over time - Export everything anytime (CSV, Markdown, JSON) WHAT YOU DON'T GET No reviews. No ratings. No "connect with friends." No algorithmic feeds. No subscriptions. No premium tiers. No cloud dependency. This is deliberate. Every feature we didn't add makes the ones we did add faster and more focused. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Pay once. Use forever. Free updates included — we've shipped three major versions since launch. The kind of support others charge monthly for. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No accounts. No cloud. No tracking. No analytics. Your reading habits are nobody's business. DESIGN Built for iOS 26 from day one. Liquid Glass design language throughout — translucent, elegant, fast. Beautiful tools make routine tasks pleasant. BookMaster does one thing exceptionally well: it remembers what page you're on. Requires iOS 26 or later. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 2.2.1 — 2026-05-30 What's New (Version 2.2) A calmer, warmer look — soft paper tones, cool ink, and a single warm accent that runs through the whole app. Easy on the eyes by day, quiet in the dark for reading in bed. LOG FROM YOUR LOCK SCREEN - Tap a widget and log your page in one move. No more digging through the app to mark where you stopped. - New Lock Screen widgets in three styles: circular, rectangular, and a line above the clock. Still 100% local. Still no tracking. Still yours. ### 2.1.1 — 2026-04-07 New settings screen with haptic feedback control, easy access to data export, and app info. A small, clean addition — everything where you'd expect it. Still 100% local. Still no tracking. Still yours. ### 2.1 — 2026-03-09 YOUR BOOK, ON YOUR HOME SCREEN BookMaster now has a home screen widget. See your current book and reading progress at a glance — no need to open the app. Two sizes to choose from: a compact square or a wider card with your progress bar and page count. The widget shows your most recently read book and updates the moment you log a session. It's the digital bookmark taken to its logical conclusion: your place in the book, always visible. Still 100% local. Still no tracking. Still yours. ### 2.0.1 — 2026-02-19 STABILITY UPDATE 2.0.1 - Fixed a display issue where reading sessions could appear incorrectly in session history - Performance and reliability improvements ### 2.0 — 2025-12-09 Version 2.0 adds reading goals, color-coded books, a better status system, and enhanced statistics.

Safer book management. WHAT DIDN'T CHANGE: Still 100% local. No accounts. No cloud.

Yours forever. ## More apps by Andre Berg-Stølen - [Note-Self](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/note-self/id6749246171) - [Mikro - Activity & Habit Log](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mikro-activity-and-habit-log/id6751157235) - [MemoryAnchor - Visual Ideas](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/memoryanchor-visual-ideas/id6751170216) - [My M43 Kit](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-m43-kit/id6751171667) - [WonderScouts](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wonderscouts/id6751411352) - [FocusAnchor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/focusanchor/id6751417117) All apps by Andre Berg-Stølen: https://appshunter.io/developer/1829516490 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
