One log for the whole shelf, with the book on every entry, so each one keeps its own pages and pace while the totals cover everything you read. After a session, enter the book, the pages you read and how long it took; on the evening you reach the last page, tick Finished. The pages-per-week stat tells you honestly how far you are from the last chapter.
Opens Log App and adds this log with example entries. You can clear the examples anytime.

What the Reading log looks like
A real screenshot, not a mockup: the stats up top, a breakdown per book, the streak and the calendar heatmap, with the entries below. Every number comes from the entries you add.
How it works
From install to first entry in a minute
1
Pick “Reading” during setup
The log is created with the variables above and a few example entries so you can see how it works. Clear them with one tap.
2
Log as you go
Tap plus, fill in what you have, save. Timer, location, notes and photos are there when you want them, hidden when you don’t.
3
Let the stats accumulate
Sum pages sits on the log card, with the rest one tap away. Set a goal if you want a nudge.
Why this log
Built for the way you actually do it
Time and pages together
Start the timer when you open the book. Pages per session plus minutes per session gives you a real reading pace, and the minutes-per-page figure plans the next book for you.
Each book with its own numbers
The "Book" field is tracked individually, so every title gets its own pages, sessions and pace, while the overview still counts everything you read. Tick "Finished" on the last session and the yes count is your books for the year.
Notes that stay with the book
Jot down a quote or a thought on the entry. Filter the log to one book and you have your own margin notes.
Everything else in the app
Not just a form. A logbook that thinks with you.
The Reading log is one log among many you can keep. Every one of them gets the same tools.
💡AI analysis
AI reads the pattern for you
Tap the bulb on Reading and get a plain-language read of your trends, what changed recently, and a suggested next goal, built only from your own entries.
🎯Goals
Goals, streaks and reminders
Set a target like three times a week, watch the rolling progress bar, keep a streak, and get a reminder at the time you actually log. The app learns that time from you.
📅Calendar
A calendar heatmap per log
Every log has its own month view showing which days you logged. Gaps are obvious, consistency is visible, and one tap opens that day's entries.
🔁Rounds
Several books in one entry
One entry can hold a round per book, each with its own values, and the stats break them out separately.
📷Attachments
Photos, sketches, voice memos
Attach a photo, draw a quick sketch, or record a voice note on any entry. They stay with that entry and come back on every device you sign in on.
🗺️Map
Every entry on a map
Drop a pin or search for the place. Each log has a map view of everywhere you logged, and saved places open directly in Google Maps.
🔍Search
Search across everything
Find an entry by title, note or value across every log, filter by date or location, and jump straight to it.
🔒Privacy
Yours, offline first
Entries save on your phone first and sync when you sign in. No account needed to start, no feed, no one else sees your data.
Who keeps a reading log like this
Readers with several books on the go who lose track of pace, students with a reading list and a deadline, and people who want a record of what they read without joining a social network to get it.
Because every book keeps its own numbers, it also suits slow readers: a book that takes four months does not get averaged away by one you finished in a weekend.
What the log tells you after a few books
Pages per session and minutes per session give you a real reading speed, which makes a reading list plannable: a 400-page book at your pace is a known number of evenings. The per-week rate shows whether a busy month actually stopped you reading or just felt like it did.
The notes on each session become the marginalia you never wrote in the book. Scrolling back through them is a fast way to remember what a book was about.
Because the habit is reading, not a particular book. One log keeps the weekly goal and the streak going from one book into the next, and the Book field still splits pages and pace per title, so a 900-page novel does not get averaged in with a 150-page essay.
Can I track audiobooks?
Yes. Use minutes instead of pages as the variable, or just rely on the built-in timer and log the chapter in the notes.
Does it show a percentage complete?
Not yet. The sum of pages per book is shown; compare it with the book’s length. A "total pages" setting with a percentage is planned.
