Litmark
Read full descriptionHide full description
A book tracker for your whole reading journey, kept like a library card. Litmark helps you track what you're reading, remember the lines that stuck with you, and build a habit you can see — no account, no sync required. Your library lives on your phone. BRING YOUR SHELF WITH YOU Already track your books somewhere else? Export your library from Goodreads or The StoryGraph, and Litmark reads that file straight in — so the books you've already read come with you instead of starting from an empty shelf. SCAN THE BARCODE, SKIP THE TYPING Hold your camera over the barcode on the back of a book and its details fill themselves in. Or type everything in yourself, if the barcode won't cooperate. TRACK YOUR SHELF Move books through Want to Read, Reading, and Read. Log reading sessions and pages as you go, and watch your progress build automatically. See your library as a list, a grid, or standing on real wooden shelves, and filter or search it by genre and status when it grows. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Every book keeps its own stats — pages read, time spent, when you added it — and a full reading history of every session behind it. CAPTURE QUOTES BY SCANNING THE PAGE Point your camera at a page and Litmark reads the text for you — no manual typing. Save the lines worth remembering, then turn any quote into a shareable card, with your own background color or photo. BUILD A READING STREAK A visible, day-by-day streak turns reading into a habit instead of a resolution you forget by February. Weekly, monthly, and yearly summary cards show how far you've actually come. A LAMP FOR PAPER BOOKS Turn the screen itself into a warm, dimmable reading light — candle-warm through to daylight-white — for finishing a chapter in bed without waking anyone. DECORATE YOUR SHELF Set plants, creatures, framed art, lamps, and small ornaments along the shelf, and arrange them wherever you like — a library corner that looks like yours rather than a database. EARN STAMPS AS YOU READ Reading milestones unlock collectible stamps — Glancer, Skimmer, Explorer, Devourer, Bookworm — like stamps in a passport for your library card. YOUR OWN MEMBER CARD A personal card design that reflects your reading identity, shareable like a stat card for your shelf. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no cloud sync, no ads. Your books and quotes stay on your device, and you can back up your whole shelf and restore it whenever you need. LITMARK PRO Unlock every appearance and sound, your full streak history, 10 additional premium stamps, and the full set of shelf decorations — as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time purchase. Everything else works without it. Whether you're rebuilding a reading habit, collecting quotes from your favorite books, or just want a library card for your own shelf — Litmark keeps it.
