Readmarks vs Nous

Readmarks is a private reading journal for intentional readers. Not a social network. Not a gamified tracker. Just a calm, focused place to keep your reading life — yours alone. Track the books you're actually reading, not the ones you aspire to. Log your progress in seconds and get back to reading. Save the quotes and thoughts that matter. When a book leaves a mark, Readmarks keeps it. What you get: - A reading journal for your current books — paper, ebook, audiobook, or borrowed - Progress tracking by pages or percentage, no timers, no streaks triggering quilt - Quarter star ratings for books - Quotes tied to the books they came from - Browse your finished books by years and months, with stats - Stopped a book? Move it to its own shelf, guilt-free - Export your entire reading history as CSV — your data, always - Share your daily reading progress with your friends using our beautiful designs - Share finished book stats and month reads - Beautiful widgets to keep an eye on your reading journey - One-time purchase. No subscription. Ever. Adding a book is a small ritual, not a database entry. Choose the format, add your own cover image, set your starting point, and begin. It takes seconds and it makes the difference. Readmarks is built by one indie developer. Your reading life is private and belongs to you. Keep it that way.
