A reading tracker built around the habit, not the spreadsheet

Most reading trackers start from the catalogue: you shelve books, rate them, and maybe come back at the end of the year to count them. Readaily starts from the reading itself. Every time you sit down with a book, you start a session, and everything else — progress, pace, streaks, stats — comes from those sessions.

What you can track

• Books and their status. Reading, want to read, finished and archived, with cover and page count filled in from the ISBN or a title search.
• Reading sessions. A timer for each sitting, with the page you started on and the page you stopped at.
• Pages or minutes. Pages for print and ebooks, minutes for audiobooks.
• Progress per book. How far you are, how fast you are going, and how long the rest of the book will take at your pace.
• Your week, month and year. Minutes and pages per day, a calendar of reading days, and the books you finished.
• Notes from a session. An optional line about what you read, how you felt before and after, and where you were.

Why a session-based tracker

A shelf tells you what you read. Sessions tell you how you read: whether you read in the morning or at night, whether ten minutes a day is working, and how many evenings it will take to finish the book on your nightstand. In Readaily the median session lasts 29 minutes and readers turn about 28 pages an hour (measured across 1,033 timed sessions in October 2026). Your own numbers will differ, and that is the point: the app learns your pace and shows it back to you.

How it compares to a spreadsheet or a catalogue app

	Readaily	Spreadsheet	Catalogue apps
Logging effort	Start, stop, type the page	Manual, every time	Mark as read
Time spent reading	Measured per session	Only if you write it down	Usually not tracked
Daily habit	Goal, reminder and streak	No	Yearly goal at most
Works offline	Yes	Yes	Varies

If what you want is a big public catalogue, reviews from millions of readers and a yearly reading challenge, a catalogue app like Goodreads or StoryGraph is built for that (see our comparisons). If what you want is to read more often, a session tracker is the better tool.
