Your streak counter tracks consecutive days of hitting your goal. A 30-day bar chart shows your daily reading minutes, so you can see patterns and build consistency over weeks.
Your reading goals are backed by actual reading statistics. Pages read, reading time, speed trends, and session history are all tracked automatically while you read. No manual logging required.
The statistics dashboard feeds directly into your goals. When you read for 20 minutes, justRead knows. Your daily progress bar fills up, your streak advances, and your bar chart updates.
Read on your iPhone during a commute and on your iPad at home. justRead syncs your reading progress, streaks, and goals across all your devices through iCloud.
Your streak does not care which device you use. Hit your daily goal on any Apple device and your streak counter keeps climbing. Badges earned on one device appear on all of them.
Your home screen surfaces everything that matters: current streak, daily goal progress, the book you are reading, and what to pick up next. No digging through menus.
As your reading goals evolve, the home view adapts. Finished a tier? The next one is already waiting. Your reading life stays organised without any effort on your part.
While chasing your reading goals, capture the passages that resonate. Highlights and notes are saved per book and fully searchable, so your reading time counts twice: towards your streak and towards a personal knowledge base.
Colour-coded highlights, margin notes, and bookmarks all sync across devices. When you finish a book, your annotations stay organised and ready for review.
Export your reading history, highlights, and goal milestones whenever you want. CSV and Markdown formats let you keep a permanent record outside the app or share your progress.
Your data belongs to you. Export everything from individual book notes to your full annual reading summary, and use it however you like.
