ShelfLog vs Reading Log XL

ShelfLog is a calm, private reading tracker — no account, no social feed. Your books, reading sessions and notes live only on your device. KEY FEATURES • Reading timer — start a session and it is logged automatically, with the pages you read. • Your shelf — add books (paper, e-book or audiobook), track progress and mark them finished. • Scan an ISBN — scan the barcode on the back cover and the title, author and page count fill themselves in. Typing a book in by hand still works too. • Book details — open any book to update progress, finish it, and look back at every session and note it holds. • Notes & quotes — save a quote or a thought as you read, with the page number, then filter by book or search everything at once. • Stats — see minutes read by week, month and year, your reading speed and format mix. • Reading calendar — a heatmap of your whole year, plus a year in review with books finished, minutes read, top genre and fastest finish. • Yearly challenge — set a book goal and watch the ring fill as you finish books. • Streaks — keep your daily reading streak alive. • Backup — export and import your data, notes included, as a file. It is yours to keep. Private by design: everything is stored on your device. No sign-up, no account, no tracking. Available in 25 languages, with dates and numbers in your local format. ShelfLog is free and supported by ads. A one-time Pro purchase removes the ads and unlocks advanced charts, personal rankings, yearly archives and themes.
