## What is Leaf?

Stop starting books you never finish.

Leaf turns reading into a daily habit. Without the guilt. Track progress page by page, set a daily goal, and build the streak that keeps you reading. Or set a reading challenge: pick a few books, pick a finish date, and Leaf tells you how many pages to read each day. The first reading tracker connected to your AI assistant (Pro).

READING STREAKS

Build a consistent reading habit:

- Daily streak counter with a weekly reading calendar
- 3-hour grace period for late-night reading sessions
- Missed a day? One tap to backdate yesterday's reading. No guilt, no penalty
- Nine milestone levels from Sprout to Ancient, earned permanently even if your streak resets

DUAL GOAL-SETTING MODES

Choose the approach that fits your style:

- Flexible Mode - set pages per day, Leaf calculates your finish date
  "I want to read 20 pages daily"

- Fixed Date Mode - set a target date, Leaf calculates daily pages
  "I want to finish by March 15"

READING CHALLENGES

"5 books in 3 months." Leaf does the math.

- Pick your books, pick a finish date
- Leaf tells you how many pages to read today
- Read extra today, and tomorrow's number goes down
- Fall behind, and the number just updates. No penalty
- Every week, an email and a notification with how you're doing
- Finish, and get a recap you can share

Reading challenges come with the Challenge Pass (3 months) or Leaf Pro.

It's private. Just you and your books, no leaderboard.

VISUAL PROGRESS TRACKING

See exactly where you are and how far to go:

- Circular progress indicator for each book
- Quick-adjust buttons (−5, −1, +1, +5, +10) to log pages in seconds
- Updates in one tap, not minutes

ASK YOUR AI ASSISTANT (PRO)

Your reading data is available via an MCP server:

- "What am I reading?" Get your current book and progress
- "Log 30 pages of my current book" updates without opening the app
- "Add Atomic Habits, 320 pages" adds new books by voice or chat
- Works with any MCP-compatible AI assistant

Requires Leaf Pro. Set up at readwithleaf.app/integrations.

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS

Your reading at a glance, without opening the app:

- Progress ring widget with today's streak and page goal
- Book widget showing your current read and progress
- Lock screen widget for quick check-ins

### 5/5 — Great but

*2026-06-25*

I’m absolutely love this app for keeping track of the books I’ve read and logging how many pages I read a day but.. sometimes I forget to log how many pages I read and when I go to log them I can’t go back and add the pages read yesterday so I have to add them to today which I’m fine with but sometimes I wish I could go back.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and the 5 stars, it means a lot to me 💚

Good news: you can already log yesterday's pages. If you miss a day, Leaf shows a little reminder, and tapping it lets you add the pages to yesterday instead of today.

We also just released an update that makes this even better. Now it works even if you've already logged today by mistake, so you can still fix yesterday in one tap. If you update the app, there's a good chance this solves exactly what you ran into.

If you run into anything else or have more feedback like this, you can reach me anytime through the contact form in the app, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks again for reading with Leaf, happy reading! 📚
