Track your reading, build streaks, and see beautiful stats. All in dark mode. Moth is the reading tracker designed for readers who want to see their progress, stay consistent, and make their reading life look as good as it feels. --- WHY YOU WILL LOVE MOTH --- Every reading session you log builds a picture of who you are as a reader. How fast you read, how consistent you are, what you love: Moth turns all of it into gorgeous stats you'll want to check every day. READING TIMER Start a timer when you pick up your book. Log your pages when you're done. That's it, no complexity, no clutter. Moth tracks your reading habits and daily progress automatically. No limits on free sessions, ever. STREAKS & DAILY GOALS Set a daily reading goal in pages or minutes. Every consecutive day you hit it builds your streak. Moth is here to help you stay consistent and motivated. READING STATS See your reading life in numbers: books finished, total pages, reading time, reading speed, and a calendar heatmap showing your last 90 days of reading activity. Watch your patterns emerge as the data builds up over time. YOUR BOOK LIBRARY Add books by searching or scanning the ISBN barcode, no typing required. Organize into shelves: Want to Read, Reading, Finished, or Did Not Finish. Create custom shelves to organize your books just the way you want. Rate with half-stars and keep notes. DNF is a first-class status here, not something hidden in a submenu. BUILT FOR DARK MODE Moth is dark-first. Warm backgrounds, amber accents, soft typography: it looks and feels like reading by lamplight. Every screen has fewer elements than any competitor. Simplicity is the point. YEARLY READING GOAL Set a target for how many books you want to read this year and track your progress with a visual progress bar. See exactly where you stand. --- WHAT'S FREE --- Track up to 12 books. Unlimited reading sessions. Full reading timer. Streaks and daily goals. Yearly reading goal. ISBN barcode scanner.
