Reading Log XL is a reading log and book tracker: it records reading minutes, pages and books, and makes a one page PDF reading report for the teacher. Pay once, no subscription. ONE BUTTON A DAY Tap "I read today", pick the minutes, save. A built-in timer counts a reading session for you if you want it to. YOUR BOOKSHELF Keep three shelves — reading now, finished, want to read. Title, author, page count, a coloured spine instead of a cover. No sign-up, no social feed, no reviews to scroll. A REPORT FOR SCHOOL Make a one-page PDF for a teacher or a parent: days read, minutes, pages and the books behind them. Pick 7 days, 30 days, a year or everything. GOALS AND STREAKS Set a daily goal in minutes and watch the streak build. Weekly and monthly totals show whether the habit is holding. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no ads, no analytics. Works on a plane. SIMPLE PRICE The free version always saves everything you log and shows the last 30 days plus three books at a time. One purchase unlocks the full history, unlimited books and PDF reports forever. No subscription.
