Track every book you read, log each reading session, and watch your library come alive on a shelf that actually looks like one. Book Tracker is the reading log that turns pages into a habit that lasts. Most reading apps feel like a spreadsheet. This one gives you a warm, skeuomorphic wooden bookshelf you decorate yourself, a calm full-screen reading timer, and a Literary Clock with a passage for every time of day — so tracking your books feels as good as reading them. WHAT YOU GET - Add any title in seconds by search, barcode scan, or a manual entry with your own cover photo - A wooden bookshelf you arrange yourself, with real cover art in spine or cover view - A full-screen reading timer that logs every session and updates your progress automatically - Notes, quotes, and reviews with photo attachments and page-scan OCR to capture text instantly - Stats that keep you going: reading streaks, a yearly goal ring, pages read, formats, and top authors - One-tap Goodreads import so your whole library comes with you PERFECT FOR - Readers building a TBR pile they will actually finish - Bookworms who want their shelf to feel real, not like a database - Anyone chasing a yearly reading goal or a daily reading streak - Note-takers who collect quotes, thoughts, and reviews as they read WHY NOT JUST USE A SPREADSHEET A spreadsheet can hold titles, but it can't scan a barcode, time your sessions, show your covers on a shelf, or turn a year of reading into streaks and charts you look forward to. Book Tracker does all of it in one place, built for readers. PRIVACY Your library, notes, and sessions live on your device. No account, no sign-up, no reading data sold. FULL ACCESS A single unlock opens the entire app — every shelf and decoration, the reading timer, notes and OCR, Goodreads import, full stats, and home-screen widgets. Choose what fits you: a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime unlock. Add your first book, start the timer, and watch your shelf grow. Your next chapter begins here.

About

ReadMiles

Every page is a mile. ReadMiles keeps the page you stopped on, shows how far you have come and works out when you will arrive. No feed, no accounts — your road is yours. TWO WAYS TO LOG A PAGE Start a timer when you sit down with a book. Or tap the page you reached and get on with your day. Pages and days on the road count the same either way. The timer adds what a mark cannot hold: the time you spent, and with it your reading speed. WHEN YOU WILL FINISH Every book carries the pages left and the date you reach the last page. Read with the timer and your pace on that book shows up next to them. The forecast follows your last two weeks, so it moves when you do. +10 PAGES FROM THE HOME SCREEN The interactive widget adds pages without opening the app. Set the step to +5, +10 or +25 — progress, streak and today's goal update on the spot. Two more widgets keep the current book and your days on the road in sight, and a compact one lives on the lock screen. YOUR ROAD, NOT A LEADERBOARD Days on the road instead of a flame. A heatmap of the last twelve months. Pages, hours and sessions by day, week, month and year — and the miles of text you have laid end to end, because 500 pages make about one book mile. SIGNS ALONG THE WAY Twenty-nine milestones for what you have read — the road, days on the road, books, how you read, and finds nobody names before you reach them. They are worked out from your history and dated by the day they happened, so an import puts them in the years they belong to. A wall in stats holds the whole road behind you, sign by sign. Nothing to unlock, nothing to chase: no currencies, no levels, no shops. GOALS THAT DO NOT NAG A route for the year, in books or in pages. A daily goal, in pages or in minutes. One evening nudge that stays quiet when today's goal is already met. BRING YOUR HISTORY Import a CSV from Goodreads or StoryGraph: statuses, ratings, reviews and finish dates come along. Not what you expected? Undo the whole import in one tap — nothing else in your library changes. ALSO IN THE APP • Paper, e-book and audiobook, each measured its own way • Catalogue search in English and Russian, or scan the ISBN on the back cover • Rare editions added by hand, with a cover from your camera or library • Past sessions logged later, for the evening you read on a plane • A private rating and a few words for yourself when a book is done • No limit on the number of books • iCloud sync with no account and no password • Light and dark, English and Russian, no ads and nothing to buy PRIVACY Everything you read and write lives on your devices and in your iCloud. No account, no server of ours, no analytics, no ads. The app goes online for two things only: to look a book up in the catalogue and to fetch its cover.
