KEEP A READING JOURNAL Save a thought after each session, add notes to a book, and revisit what you read. Forgot the timer? Add a reading record manually. SEE YOUR BOOKS MOVE FORWARD Keep current reads and completed books on your bookshelf. Track page progress and view each book’s sessions, average pace, and estimated completion based on your recorded reading.

Optional daily time-goal alerts let you know when you reach that goal while reading. ADD BOOKS YOUR WAY Enter a title and author, or look up book information by ISBN barcode. Check the details before saving; information may be incomplete. Export books and sessions as CSV for use in a spreadsheet. READ AT YOUR OWN PACE Use dark mode or keep the screen awake while timing.

Readimo makes book tracking social. Every book you read, every minute you spend in it, and every friend who reads with you, in one place. Here's how: • Time every session: tap Start when you open your book. Readimo counts your minutes, pages and pace, and keeps running on your Lock Screen. • Track every book: Reading, To Read, Finished, Wishlist and Did Not Finish, on a shelf you design, from Oak and Walnut to Glass. • Add books in seconds: scan a barcode, snap a cover, or bring your whole library over from Goodreads, StoryGraph or Fable. • Build the habit: set your book goal for the year, then keep your streak alive, week after week. • See your reading life: every month as a calendar of the covers you read, with stats for your month, your year and all time. • Read with friends: follow readers, see their sessions in your feed, get motivation from your people, and cheer them on with kudos and comments. • Rate and review: share what you thought of every book you finish, with spoilers hidden until a reader chooses to see them. • Keep the moment: add a photo, a short video or a favorite line to any session. • Share your progress: post a session or a finished book straight to your Instagram Story. • Make it yours: put your five favorite books on your profile, go private anytime, and keep any session just for you. READIMO PRO Go further with Readimo Pro: read more than two books at once, take unlimited notes, let the Pacer turn your yearly goal into the minutes a day it takes, open every month of your calendar, and see advanced stats on how you read.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Readimo at none against Reading Timer's shown. Reading Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
