PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Set a daily pages goal and actually hit it. ReadGoal is a private, goal-first reading tracker built around one number: the pages you read today. Log each session, watch the ring close, and keep a streak alive that makes skipping a day feel expensive. Most book apps are shelves with a social feed attached. ReadGoal is the opposite. It cares about today's pages, your average pace, and the exact date you'll finish the book on your nightstand — not what strangers rated it. WHAT YOU GET • A daily page goal with a progress ring that closes as you log — one glance tells you whether today is done • A reading streak that counts every day you hit your goal, and survives until midnight so mornings never greet you with a zero • Your real pace: average pages per day over the last two weeks, computed from actual logs, not guesses • An estimated finish date for every unfinished book — "done by March 3" turns a 600-page doorstop into a plan • A shelf of every book you're reading, each with its own progress bar and its own daily page target • A 30-day chart with your goal line drawn across it, so a weak week is visible before it becomes a lost month PERFECT FOR • Readers who set a "30 pages a day" rule and want it enforced • Anyone juggling two or three books at once and losing the thread of all of them • Habit builders who need the streak to survive a busy Tuesday • Students and book-club readers working against a deadline WHY NOT JUST GOODREADS? Goodreads tells you what the internet thinks of a book. It doesn't know you are 40 pages behind pace, and it won't tell you which date you'll finish at your current speed. ReadGoal tracks the only number that finishes books: pages read today. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your entire log lives on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no feed, no followers — the app works fully offline. An optional daily reminder at a time you choose is the only nudge it ever sends. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) ReadGoal requires Full Access, available as an auto-renewing weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Full Access unlocks unlimited books on the shelf, the 30-day chart with goal line, pace and finish-date estimates, and per-book daily goals. Log tonight's pages and start the streak.
