Reading Goals is a iOS app built primarily to place useful, bookish widgets on your Home Screen. After you confirm a public reading profile, it saves only the essential reading statistics on-device so widgets can show reading-goal progress, books read this year, total books read, and—in the largest summary—pages read and whether you are on pace; the companion app provides manual refresh, optional daily updates, and a swipeable five-year history.
