Whether you read for hours or just a few pages before bed, Pagio helps you stay consistent and enjoy the journey. A calm, private reading companion. No feeds, no distractions, just you and your books. LIBRARY Keep everything in one place. Books you want to read, books you're reading now, books you've finished, and the ones you set aside or came back to for a second time. Browse by author, genre, tag, or publisher when you'd rather start from a name than a cover. UP NEXT Line up what you're reading next and keep it in the order you actually mean. Add books from anywhere in the app, reorder the queue whenever your mood changes, and the one on top waits for you on Home. Can't choose? Tap Surprise Me and Pagio picks one of your unread books for you. SHELVES, COLLECTIONS & SERIES Organize your library however fits. Build custom shelves for whatever matters to you. Favorites, comfort rereads, gifts, beach reads. Put a book on as many shelves as you like. Group books into ordered collections like a reading challenge or your top ten of the year, and nest them when you want more structure. And bring every book in a series together, from the first volume to the seventh, so a long story stays in one place. IMPORT Already have a reading history? Bring it along. Import your books from Kindle, Goodreads, Bookshelf, or any CSV file. Pagio does its best to match everything up, so getting started feels like magic. READING SESSIONS Time every session and see how long you spend with each book. Jot a note without leaving the session, switch to night mode for reading in bed, and check your progress and streak before you save. Follow your current session and page progress from the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island, or your Apple Watch with Live Activities. WIDGETS Keep your reading on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. The book you're in the middle of, with buttons to start or pause a session without opening the app. Your goal and the pace it needs. Your streak and the week behind it. A month of reading as a calendar, for your whole library or for a single book. Each widget can follow whichever book or goal you choose. GOALS Set gentle reading targets in books, hours, days, or pages, and stay motivated as you move toward them. Add a quiet reminder if you'd like a nudge, or leave it off. QUOTES AND NOTES Save the passages that moved you and the thoughts they started, with the page they came from. Everything you've marked lives together in your library, ready to scroll, favorite, or share as a card. CHARACTERS Keep track of who's who in every book, with a name, a role, a photo, and a line or two about them. Point your quotes and notes at a character, and everything about them gathers on their own page. STATISTICS See where you stand, then dig in. Four sections cover your overview, your collection by genre, publisher, format, language and rating, the habits behind when and how long you read, and a history with a day-by-day calendar and your all-time records. Scope any of it to a month or a year, and turn a month you're proud of, or a book you've just finished, into artwork worth sharing. SEARCH Discover millions of books. Search by title, author, or ISBN, or point your camera at a barcode, and add them to your library in a tap. SYNC Keep everything up to date across all your devices with secure iCloud sync. Your data stays yours. OFFLINE Add time, update progress, and browse your library anywhere, even without an internet connection. Pagio works on iPhone and iPad. It's for readers who value clarity, consistency, and a deeper connection with their books. Download Pagio and rediscover the joy of reading.

Forget "when did I last…?" CountWhen gives you instant clarity on anything that runs on intervals — not just dates. One tap to log. Always know how long it's been, when it's due, or how long you still have to wait. PERFECT FOR PARENTS Baby bottle, nap, diaper, feeding, pumping — set it once and CountWhen tracks it all. Know exactly how long since the last feeding, when nap time opens up, or whether it's too soon to give something again. Designed for the tired parent who can't afford to lose track. Baby feeding, bottles & pumping sessions Diaper changes Nap scheduling & sleep training Supplement timing Instrument practice (piano, guitar, violin) Reading time & homework sessions Screen time gaps Sunscreen reapplication Kids' chores & responsibilities THREE EASY WAYS TO TRACK Just tracking — Log events and see patterns over time (no reminders) Due every — Set recurring intervals and get gentle notifications when it's time again Wait at least — Enforce a minimum wait time before logging again (with override option) HOW IT WORKS Set a timer interval in minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months — or use an anchor time. Tap LOG when something happens. CountWhen instantly shows how long it's been, how long until it's due, and whether you still need to wait. Clear progress bars, overdue alerts, and ready notifications keep you on track. WHY NOT JUST USE YOUR CALENDAR? Calendars struggle when elapsed time matters more than a fixed date — like spacing coffee every 2 hours, cleaning the bathroom after 7 days, or adjusting for something that ran late. CountWhen resets from when you last did it, not when you planned to.
