## What is Booktrace?

Your books, on a shelf. Track every book you read or listen to, plan your TBR, and watch your reading year fill in.

Booktrace works for print books, ebooks and audiobooks. Add a book, say what format it is, and start a session. For a paperback or an ebook you say which page you're on and Booktrace counts the pages down; an audiobook moves forward by the minutes you listened. Booktrace keeps the time either way.

YOUR BOOKSHELF
Take one photo of a row on your real shelf and every spine stands on a shelf inside the app, or scan books one at a time. Lean them, stack them, drag them into place, and add a plant, a lamp, or a photo. A bookshelf that looks like yours, because it is.

YOUR TBR, SORTED
Flip through your want-to-read pile like a crate of records, or let Pick one choose your next book when you can't decide. Browse your whole collection as a wall of covers, and see your history as a calendar of book covers.

A SESSION DIAL YOU CAN GLANCE AT
Start a session with one tap. A dial you can read from across the room keeps you oriented, and the same information follows you to your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Forgot to start it? Log the session after the fact.

WHERE YOU READ
If you read on the move, Booktrace can keep a map of the route, so you can revisit the walk that got you through chapter twelve.

ASK WITHOUT SPOILERS
The built-in chat only knows what you've read so far, so you can ask about a character, recap what happened, or catch back up after a break with zero risk of finding out what's next.

STATS THAT ADD UP
Streaks, sessions, hours, pages, and goals, with a calendar that fills in as you go. Every book you finish stands on its own shelf.

MADE FOR AUDIOBOOKS TOO
Narrator credits and ratings, real listening hours, playback speed, and duration bars that show how long each audiobook really is, so a 30-hour epic looks like one.

BRING YOUR LIBRARY WITH YOU
Import a Goodreads or Libby export in one go. Shelves, ratings, finish dates, formats, and page counts come along.

- Your TBR in a crate, and Pick one for your next read

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2026-10-10*

Completely paid app, I can’t even see anything before I start free trial

### 1/5 — Who would buy this? 😂

*2026-10-08*

Selling a service to keep track of an audiobook is ridiculous. The app already does it for you! I just liked the look of the bookshelf I saw in the advertisement and thought this was just going to be a cute widget.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-10-15

Track print books and ebooks by page. Say which page you're on and Booktrace counts the pages down, on the book, on Home and on your widget. Page counts fill in by themselves, and come along from a Goodreads import.

Finished books show the pages you read, and you can set a pages goal.

Got an idea or found a bug? Send it straight to me from the You tab. I read every one.

### 1.6 — 2026-10-14

Scan a whole shelf in one photo. Point your camera at a row of books, tap once, and every spine flies onto your bookshelf.

Your bookshelf now has its own spot on Home, and the Home Screen widget shows a full shelf from day one.

### 1.5 — 2026-10-12

A friendlier start: onboarding now shows your library, your year and your reading map, and picking your first book is instant.

New subscribers get a short tour of the bookshelf, adding books, and switching views. Bring your Goodreads or Libby history over in one tap from Library, and a new shelf comes with a few decorations to start.

### 1.4 — 2026-10-06

Scan a whole shelf in one pass, and pick which shelf your home-screen widget shows.

The spine scanner holds a steadier lock on a row of books or a stack. The bookshelf widget is brighter, shows spines at the small size, and stays on screen. Twenty classics, from Jane Eyre to Dracula, now arrive with their real spines, and shelf ornaments can be resized as you place them.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-13

Booktrace now tracks print books and ebooks alongside audiobooks. Pick a format when you add a book; sessions log your minutes and you set how far you've got.

New: your bookshelf. Photograph the spine of a real book and it stands on a shelf in the app. Lean it, stack it, arrange it, and decorate the shelf.

Plus copy that says "reading" where it means it, and fixes for imports and session logging.
