I recently developed a reading tracker app (web-based) called BookTrack, and I wanted to share it with you all. I created it because I was looking for a simple, no-frills way to track my reading without the social pressure or distractions that come with platforms like Goodreads. If you're someone who just wants to focus on your reading progress without all the extra noise, this might be for you.
Currently it has the following features:
- Track Your Books: Keep tabs on the books you're currently reading, have finished, or plan to read.
- Reading Streaks: Stay motivated with daily reading streaks to help build and maintain your reading habit.
- Custom Genres: Add your own genres and assign colors to them for a personalized experience.
- Basic Stats: Get insights like pages read per month, your reading pace, and estimated completion dates for your current reads.
- Virtual Bookshelf: A visual representation of your completed books.
- Book Roulette: Randomly pick your next read from your TBR list (when you're feeling indecisive).
It has no no social features or data sharing because it is completely offline, so everything stays on your device (web browser).
You can use it in both PC/laptop & mobile. But unfortunately, it will be a hassle to sync them because there is no cloud-sync feature. For backup/sync purpose, you can fully export/import your data (I implement a string copy-paste method like in those incremental games), so you're never locked in or at risk of losing your reading history.
If this sounds like what you've been looking for, check out BookTrack and let me know what you think.
