Booktail vs Marka

Booktail is a book tracker that helps you keep your library organized, follow your reading progress and save the parts you want to remember. Add books, log time and pages, save quotes and plan your next reads — and a little buddy will be there whenever you return to your books. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR SHELVES Add books by search or ISBN barcode. Organize them by reading status and create your own shelves to group books by genre, mood or reading plans. Choose colors, icons and patterns to make each shelf your own. KEEP TRACK OF YOUR READING Start the reading timer, settle into your book and log the pages you finish. See your progress and an estimate of the time left. If you forget the timer, add or edit a session later. SHARE YOUR READING RECAP Turn your reading into a monthly recap with covers and stats. Choose the colors, title and details you want to show, then save the image or share it with friends. You can also share your calendar, a series card or your Book of the Year bracket. KEEP A SERIES TOGETHER See which volumes you've read and which are still ahead. Compare your collection with the series catalog to find missing books. FIND YOUR BOOK OF THE YEAR Choose your favorite read from each month, compare the winners through the rounds and pick the one book that stays with you. REMEMBER MORE OF WHAT YOU READ Save quotes, thoughts and photos alongside your books. Add page numbers and find your notes again with search. LOOK BACK AND PLAN AHEAD See your reading days on a calendar and explore your pages, books and reading time in the statistics. Set monthly or yearly goals, plan upcoming reads and keep a wishlist of books you'd like to buy. A BUDDY FOR YOUR BOOKS Choose a character who greets you, celebrates finished books and comments on your progress. Pick an app theme that feels right for you. Booktail is free to download and has no ads. Optional Premium adds more themes and buddies, all-time statistics and series rankings. Add the book you're reading and take it from there.

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
