Stop starting books you never finish. Leaf turns reading into a daily habit. Without the guilt. Track progress page by page, set a daily goal, and build the streak that keeps you reading. Or set a reading challenge: pick a few books, pick a finish date, and Leaf tells you how many pages to read each day. The first reading tracker connected to your AI assistant (Pro). READING STREAKS Build a consistent reading habit: - Daily streak counter with a weekly reading calendar - 3-hour grace period for late-night reading sessions - Missed a day? One tap to backdate yesterday's reading. No guilt, no penalty - Nine milestone levels from Sprout to Ancient, earned permanently even if your streak resets DUAL GOAL-SETTING MODES Choose the approach that fits your style: - Flexible Mode - set pages per day, Leaf calculates your finish date "I want to read 20 pages daily" - Fixed Date Mode - set a target date, Leaf calculates daily pages "I want to finish by March 15" READING CHALLENGES "5 books in 3 months." Leaf does the math. - Pick your books, pick a finish date - Leaf tells you how many pages to read today - Read extra today, and tomorrow's number goes down - Fall behind, and the number just updates.

ReadMiles
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every page is a mile. ReadMiles keeps the page you stopped on, shows how far you have come and works out when you will arrive. No feed, no accounts — your road is yours. TWO WAYS TO LOG A PAGE Start a timer when you sit down with a book. Or tap the page you reached and get on with your day. Pages and days on the road count the same either way. The timer adds what a mark cannot hold: the time you spent, and with it your reading speed. WHEN YOU WILL FINISH Every book carries the pages left and the date you reach the last page. Read with the timer and your pace on that book shows up next to them. The forecast follows your last two weeks, so it moves when you do. +10 PAGES FROM THE HOME SCREEN The interactive widget adds pages without opening the app. Set the step to +5, +10 or +25 — progress, streak and today's goal update on the spot. Two more widgets keep the current book and your days on the road in sight, and a compact one lives on the lock screen. YOUR ROAD, NOT A LEADERBOARD Days on the road instead of a flame. A heatmap of the last twelve months. Pages, hours and sessions by day, week, month and year — and the miles of text you have laid end to end, because 500 pages make about one book mile. SIGNS ALONG THE WAY Twenty-nine milestones for what you have read — the road, days on the road, books, how you read, and finds nobody names before you reach them. They are worked out from your history and dated by the day they happened, so an import puts them in the years they belong to. A wall in stats holds the whole road behind you, sign by sign. Nothing to unlock, nothing to chase: no currencies, no levels, no shops. GOALS THAT DO NOT NAG A route for the year, in books or in pages. A daily goal, in pages or in minutes. One evening nudge that stays quiet when today's goal is already met. BRING YOUR HISTORY Import a CSV from Goodreads or StoryGraph: statuses, ratings, reviews and finish dates come along. Not what you expected? Undo the whole import in one tap — nothing else in your library changes. ALSO IN THE APP • Paper, e-book and audiobook, each measured its own way • Catalogue search in English and Russian, or scan the ISBN on the back cover • Rare editions added by hand, with a cover from your camera or library • Past sessions logged later, for the evening you read on a plane • A private rating and a few words for yourself when a book is done • No limit on the number of books • iCloud sync with no account and no password • Light and dark, English and Russian, no ads and nothing to buy PRIVACY Everything you read and write lives on your devices and in your iCloud. No account, no server of ours, no analytics, no ads. The app goes online for two things only: to look a book up in the catalogue and to fetch its cover.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadMiles at none against Leaf's 7. ReadMiles also leads on ads (none vs shown). Leaf's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
