"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.
