Booktail is a book tracker that helps you keep your library organized, follow your reading progress and save the parts you want to remember. Add books, log time and pages, save quotes and plan your next reads — and a little buddy will be there whenever you return to your books. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR SHELVES Add books by search or ISBN barcode. Organize them by reading status and create your own shelves to group books by genre, mood or reading plans. Choose colors, icons and patterns to make each shelf your own. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR READING Start the reading timer, settle into your book and log the pages you finish. See your progress and an estimate of the time left. If you forget the timer, add or edit a session later. SHARE YOUR READING RECAP Turn your reading into a monthly recap with covers and stats. Choose the colors, title and details you want to show, then save the image or share it with friends. You can also share your calendar, a series card or your Book of the Year bracket. KEEP A SERIES TOGETHER See which volumes you've read and which are still ahead. Compare your collection with the series catalog to find missing books. FIND YOUR BOOK OF THE YEAR Choose your favorite read from each month, compare the winners through the rounds and pick the one book that stays with you. REMEMBER MORE OF WHAT YOU READ Save quotes, thoughts and photos alongside your books. Add page numbers and find your notes again with search. LOOK BACK AND PLAN AHEAD See your reading days on a calendar and explore your pages, books and reading time in the statistics. Set monthly or yearly goals, plan upcoming reads and keep a wishlist of books you'd like to buy. A BUDDY FOR YOUR BOOKS Choose a character who greets you, celebrates finished books and comments on your progress. Pick an app theme that feels right for you. Booktail is free to download and has no ads. Optional Premium adds more themes and buddies, all-time statistics and series rankings. Add the book you're reading and take it from there.
