Reading Tracker
Track your reading pace, progress, and session history
Most reading-tracking apps are built around a social cataloging model — shelves, reviews, and a public profile, in the tradition of Goodreads. That's genuinely useful for discovery and for readers who want a record of everything they've ever read, but it's a different job from simply knowing how a current book is going: how many pages are left, how fast you're actually reading, and when you'll realistically finish.
Reading pace is straightforward to calculate from a session log — pages read divided by time spent gives pages per minute, and multiplying that against pages remaining gives a real, personal estimate rather than a generic "average reader" guess. The friction is usually just remembering to log each session accurately: start page, end page, and time spent.
We built Bookmarque around that session-log model specifically, for readers who want an honest, private read on their own pace without the social layer — no profile, no followers, no account needed for the tracking itself.

Frequently asked questions
How is reading pace calculated?
The basic calculation is pages read divided by minutes spent, giving pages per minute (or the inverse, minutes per page). Applied against the pages remaining in a book, that gives a personal estimated finish time based on your own actual pace, rather than a generic average.
What's the difference between a reading log and a book cataloging app?
A reading log tracks sessions — when you read, how much, and how fast — for a book you're currently working through. A cataloging app (like Goodreads) is built around a permanent record of everything you've read or want to read, often with reviews, ratings, and social features layered on top. Some readers want both; many just want the former without the latter.
Why would someone track reading privately instead of using a social platform?
Not everyone wants their reading habits, pace, or unfinished/abandoned books visible to others, and a private log removes the social pressure that can come with a public reading profile — no followers, no visible progress bar for anyone but you.
