Book Tracker vs PageKeeper

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.

"How many books have I actually read this year?" PageKeeper answers that without the spreadsheet. Add what you're reading — title, author, and the printed page range — and log pages as you go. PageKeeper tracks your start and finish dates, your pace, and rolls it all up into the numbers you actually want to know: books this year, pages this year, and how fast you read. HOW IT WORKS • Add a book with its title, author, page range, and genre — stories that start on page 21 count fairly from page 21 • Not ready yet? Park it on your To Be Read list and start it with one tap when you are • Tell PageKeeper the page you're on — it works out how many you read — or log right from the widget • Finish a book and it moves to your Finished shelf, counted toward this year's total • Already partway through something? Give it a head start with your actual start date and current page • Read it before you got the app? Backfill finished books with their dates and your yearly stats stay true ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • A widget for the book you're reading, with pages read and a one-tap "+10 pages" button • See progress on several books at once with the medium and large widget sizes • Perfect for logging a few pages without ever opening the app KNOW YOUR PATTERNS (PRO) • Books read this year, pages read this year, and your average pace — pages per day and per month • Books-per-month trends so you can see your reading habit at a glance • Your reading speed, calculated from every book you've finished MAKE IT YOURS • Snap a photo of the cover — your shelf looks like your shelf • 16 icons to tell your books apart, from novels to nonfiction • Built-in genres from Fantasy to Self-Help — or create your own (Pro) • Eight colors to color-code your shelf (Pro) PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account.
