Pagely is a calm, beautiful home for everything you read. Track the books you're reading right now, remember where you left off in each one, and keep a running list of what you want to read next — all in an app designed to feel like a well-kept reading journal, not a spreadsheet. MADE FOR REAL READERS Most of us have more than one book on the go. Pagely is built for exactly that — follow several books at once, each with its own progress, and update your current page in a tap. ADD A BOOK IN SECONDS Just start typing a title and Pagely finds it for you, filling in the author and page count automatically. No barcode hunting, no manual data entry. SEE YOUR PROGRESS, FEEL THE MOMENTUM Every book shows a progress ring and how many pages remain. Finish one and it moves to your shelf — rated, dated, and remembered. YOUR READING, IN NUMBERS A gentle stats view shows your reading streak, pages read this week, books finished this year, and a 14-day reading chart — plus a breakdown of your favorite genres. KEEP IT ORGANIZED Sort books into a wishlist and your finished shelf, tag them by genre with smart suggestions, add private notes and quotes, and mark your favorites. YOURS, AND PRIVATE Pagely keeps your library on your device. No account, no sign-up, no tracking — just you and your books. Choose light, dark, or system appearance to match your mood. Whether you're a one-book-a-month reader or always juggling a stack, Pagely helps you read a little more — and enjoy every page of it.
