Marka is a reading tracker for people who want to know what they read, how fast they read it, and which lines stayed with them. Now with a cozy pixel farm that grows while you read. No account, no ads, no subscription. Paperbacks, hardcovers, eBooks and audiobooks all work: track by page, by percentage, or by listening time. GROW A READING FARM • Every 5 minutes on the reading timer puts a drop of water in your well. Water your plots and watch tomatoes and carrots grow. • Read more and the farm opens up, clear the wild, till new plots, and welcome hens, ducks, a goat and a cow, an orchard, a barn and a greenhouse. • Free up to nine plots, with the hens and carrot seeds. The one-time unlock opens every reward after that, and Away Mode. BUILD YOUR LIBRARY IN MINUTES • Scan a whole stack of books, one barcode after another. Books already in your library are flagged, and "Add all" files the rest in one tap. • Search by title, author or ISBN. Cover, description, publisher, page count and genre are filled in for you. • Import a Goodreads or StoryGraph export with your shelves, ratings, and start and finish dates. TIME YOUR READING • A one-tap timer that keeps counting while you leave the app, with pause and resume. • Live Activity and Dynamic Island controls: check the time or finish a session without unlocking your phone. • Forgot to start it? Log a past session by date and time. • Marka works out your pages per hour, and how long is left in the book you are reading. NOTES WHILE YOU READ • Save a quote, thought, question or summary in the middle of a session. The timer pauses while you write. • Scan text straight from the page: photograph it, tap the first and last word, and the passage drops into your note. Recognition runs entirely on your device. • Search every note across every book, filter by kind, and keep your favourites together. • Turn any quote into a card and post it to your Instagram Story or save it to Photos. GOALS AND PACE • A daily reading-time goal, with a calendar that checks off every day you hit it. • A yearly book goal that fills with the covers of the books you finish. • See the days left in the year, whether you are ahead or behind, and the pace it would take to finish. STATISTICS • Total reading time, pages read, average speed, longest session, current and longest streak. • A chart of your reading speed over the last 7 days, 30 days or the whole year. • The genres you return to, and a calendar of covers showing what you read each day. YOUR BOOKCASE • Stand your books on a wooden bookcase, move the decorations around the shelves, and switch the string lights on. • Put the bookcase on your Home Screen as a widget and rearrange it from there. WHAT TO READ NEXT • Can't decide? Shake your phone and one book jumps out of your To Be Read pile. Toss the covers around, or shake again for another. • Recommendations drawn from the books you rated highly, each one showing why it was suggested. • Keep a wishlist of the books you want, apart from the library you own. SHARE YOUR READING • Cards for a finished book, a favorite quote, a month's reads, your year, your reading calendar, goal progress, your bookcase and your farm. • Post to Instagram Stories, save to Photos, or share anywhere. WIDGETS • Farm, Continue Reading, Currently Reading, Goal and Bookcase, on the Home Screen. The Goal widget also fits the Lock Screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No sign-up, no email, no password, no ads, no analytics. • Your library, sessions, notes and goals stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account. • Tracking, notes, goals and statistics work offline. A connection is only needed to look books up. Terms of Service: https://quitehillstudio.com/marka/terms Privacy Policy: https://quitehillstudio.com/marka/privacy
