Books in progress
Everything you're part-way through sits on one shelf with its page count, so you always know what's open and how far in you are.
Reading tracker
A reading tracker that keeps count while you read
Most trackers ask you to maintain a spreadsheet. khoshra asks for one line — the page you reached — and works out the rest: pages per day, minutes read, percentage done, the streak, and how your pace compares to the goal you set in January.
What the tracker keeps
Pages per day
Note the page you stopped on. The tracker works out the pages read, the percentage done and the running total for the month.
Reading time
A session timer records minutes against the day, so reading time is measured rather than guessed at the end of the year.
Streaks and goals
Set a books-a-year or pages-a-day goal and the tracker shows the pace you'd need, the streak you're on and whether you're ahead or behind.
Notes tied to page numbers
A line of marginalia attaches to the page it belongs to, so the tracker holds why a book mattered, not only that you finished it.
Phone and web, one account
Log a session on the phone in bed and the same numbers are on the web in the morning. Nothing to export or re-enter.
Four steps, then it runs itself
Tracking, or journalling?
A tracker answers how much. A journal answers what it was like. khoshra puts both on the same day, so the numbers always have a sentence beside them — and a year later you can read the sentence instead of squinting at a bar chart.
