About

Pagehour

Start a book. Read. Stop. Pagehour tells you your pace and your finish date before you put the phone down. Open your book, tap Start, read, tap Stop and enter the page you reached. That's the whole job. The moment you save, you see it: "31 pages · 23 min · finish Oct 9". STREAKS THAT DON'T CHEAT YOU A day counts as soon as it has real pages or a real minute of reading. Forgot to log? Add today or yesterday for free, any time. Sessions that run past midnight, daylight saving and time-zone travel are tested, not guessed at, so your streak never resets on its own. ONE SHELF FOR EVERYTHING YOU READ Reading, Want to read, Finished and Didn't finish. Search by title or author, or scan the barcode on the back of a book. Nothing found? Add it by hand. EVERY BOOK, ITS OWN NUMBERS Progress, time left and a finish date for each book. Notes, a session history you can edit, and a rating when you finish. Listening instead? Audiobook mode logs minutes instead of pages. YOU DECIDE WHEN A BOOK IS DONE Reaching the last page never marks a book finished for you. When you do finish, share a clean card of the book, your days and your pages to Stories or anywhere else. BRING YOUR GOODREADS SHELVES, FREE Export your library from Goodreads and import the file. Ratings, finish dates and your to-read pile come across in one go. It's duplicate-safe, so you can run it again later. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account and no sign-in. Your library lives on your phone, and you can export all of it as CSV or JSON whenever you like. No ads, ever. FREE FOREVER Logging, the timer, unlimited books, streaks, Goodreads import, export and the last 30 days of stats. PAGEHOUR PRO - Full stats beyond the last 30 days: minutes, pages and books by month and year - Streak repair: log a missed day from the last 60 days - Streak freezes: earn one for every 7 days you read, and bank up to 3 for busy days Pro is optional. It's mentioned once, on your third day of reading; after that you only see it when you open a Pro feature.
