A reading tracker that stays out of the way. Log what you read, see where you are, and get on with the book. ReadCount is deliberately simpler than other trackers: just you, your shelves and your numbers, in a clean, native app. And your library has no limit: every book, every session and every quote is free. SEARCH, SCAN, OR TYPE IT IN Find a book by title or author, or point the camera at its barcode and it's in your library in a second. Millions of titles, so even an obscure edition turns up. Covers arrive automatically, and you can always pick a different one, or use a photo of your own. PROGRESS IN PAGES OR PERCENT Track paper books by page, and ebooks or audiobooks by percent. Drag the dial to where you are and your reading log builds itself. Forgot to log yesterday? Back-date it. Got it wrong? Edit or delete any session, any time. SHELVES THAT ORGANISE THEMSELVES Every author, category, collection, series, format and ownership state is already a shelf. Categories arrive filled in from the book data and stay editable. Arrange the groups, hide the ones you don't want, and pick grid or list per shelf. QUOTES WORTH KEEPING Save the passages you want to remember, and come back to them long after the book is closed. Bring your highlights with you, straight from your ereader, and put a rotating quote on your home screen. WIDGETS What you're reading now, with progress. A quote that changes through the day. A lock-screen dial. And a square for every day you read. READ IT AGAIN Finishing a book doesn't close the book. Start another read-through and it gets its own dates, sessions and dial, while the first stays exactly as you left it. YOUR LIBRARY IS YOURS Export everything, any time, free: one file holding your books, your reading history, every session, your collections, your quotes and all your cover art. Moving from Reading List or Book Tracker? Import straight from their exports. MADE FOR iPHONE, MAC AND APPLE WATCH Clean monochrome typography, light and dark done properly, and a design that gets out of the way. A real native Mac app is included, not sold separately.
