ReadingRate vs Book Tracker

How hard is this book, and how long will it take you? Every book in ReadingRate carries nine measured difficulty scores, each with a written reason, and a word count turned into hours at your reading speed. Look anything up before you commit a month of evenings to it. No account needed. FREE, FOREVER, NO CARD Import your reading history from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Readwise or Notion. Log every reading day, in the app, by Siri, or by telling ChatGPT or Claude. Keep your library, your journal and your quotes. Read difficulty scores and reading-time estimates on every book. Export all of it whenever you want. Nothing here runs out after a week. NINE MEASURED DIMENSIONS Four for how hard the prose is to parse: vocabulary complexity, syntactic complexity, abstraction level, information density. Five for how hard the meaning is to reach: narrative indirection, symbolic density, ironic distance, resolution withholding, structural complexity. Each one scored 0 to 100 for that specific book, each with a written reason. YOU READ THE BOOK WHEREVER YOU READ BOOKS Paper, Kindle, library copy, audiobook. ReadingRate is not where you read. It is where the reading is kept: what you finished, how long it took, and the lines you marked. LOGGING TAKES ONE TAP Tap the book and the page you reached. Or tell Siri. Or say it to ChatGPT or Claude and it lands here. No timer, and nothing to fill in while you are trying to read. YOUR READING JOURNAL Capture thoughts and connections as you read. Save a passage and it is anchored to its page for citation later. Build a record of your relationship with a book, for reviews, essays, or just remembering why it mattered. BARCODE AND SHELF SCANNING Add a book by scanning its barcode. Members can photograph a whole bookshelf and have it read the spines. APPLE WATCH AND WIDGETS Log pages and check progress from your wrist. Currently reading and reading pace on your home and lock screens. BROWSE AND DISCOVER Curated lists, prize winners, and thousands of books with full difficulty analysis. Free to explore without an account. WHAT A MEMBERSHIP ADDS Deep analysis of any book, the Insight Lab, the full Eras atlas and literary map, book clubs, thirty shelf scans a day, the WhatsApp bot, and asking Claude or ChatGPT about your own reading history. Putting your reading in is always free. A membership is for getting more back out.

A private reading log that respects your books and your privacy. If you have ever felt your reading habits turned into a public timeline, or watched a social book app share what you finished without asking, ShelfLog is the quiet alternative. It is a personal bookshelf and book tracker for readers who want every title they finish, every page count, every quote and every shelf to live only on their own device. No account, no algorithmic feed, no recommendation engine telling you what to read next. The book log stays on this device, the book journal is yours alone, and you decide if and when any of it leaves your phone. It is built for readers who want a private library, not a leaderboard — people migrating away from Goodreads, people who never wanted a public profile in the first place, and anyone keeping a TBR that should not be anyone else's business. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Scan a barcode with the book scanner or search by title to prefill cover, author and page count from Google Books, then set a reading status — Want to read, Reading, Finished or DNF — and drop the book on any custom shelf, from favorites and fiction to non-fiction, comics, audio or romance. Star ratings, quotes and free-form notes live on each entry, a page counter and reading sessions keep your TBR honest, and a yearly reading goal turns daily progress into clear charts with books per month, average rating and top genres. The reading log treats short stories, novellas and comics with the same care as a 900-page biography. Search spans your full library including notes and quotes, so a half-remembered line from a memoir is one query away. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep the current book and your reading goal glanceable, Apple Watch logs a reading session from your wrist, and a book diary mode captures mood, location and a few lines per session. Goodreads CSV import is supported so years of ratings and shelves move over in one step, and you can re-export everything as CSV any time. The reader app side of ShelfLog gives you reading stats — pages per week, finish rate, average book length, top genres — without turning them into pressure. The interface ships in 39 languages with VoiceOver and Dynamic Type, and the entire reading log stays fully offline. Privacy is the default: no account, no cloud upload, no analytics, no third-party server reading your shelves. ShelfLog is the bookshelf for the long haul — quiet enough to live with for ten years of reading, never a feed.
