Developing Healthy Reading Habits with Book Tracker

In today’s busy world, it’s easy to let reading slip through the cracks. Yet building a consistent reading habit can make a big difference: it helps you learn, relax, reduce stress, and spark creativity. With Book Tracker on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, it’s easier than ever to bring reading into your daily routine and stick with it.

Why reading habits matter

Reading isn’t just a pastime. Regular reading has been shown to:

• Boost focus and cognitive skills.
• Expand knowledge and empathy.
• Lower stress levels.
• Inspire new ideas and creativity.

Making reading part of your day means investing in your own growth and well-being.

How Book Tracker helps build habits

Book Tracker is designed for readers who want to stay consistent and motivated. Here’s how it can support your journey:

Set achievable goals

With the Reading Challenge, you can set a yearly goal and watch your progress grow with every book you finish. Want something more flexible? Use Smart Lists to create custom collections like “Read 20 minutes a day” or “Non-fiction this month.”

Track your progress

Log pages read (or minutes for audiobooks) and see your stats instantly. The app provides detailed statistics, from monthly activity to your favorite genres and authors, so you can actually see your habits take shape.

Use the Reading Timer and Live Activity

Staying focused is easier with the built-in Reading Timer. Start a session, set a target, and keep the timer always visible with Live Activity on your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island.

Stay organized

• Add books quickly by scanning barcodes or searching by title/ISBN.
• Organize your library with Tags and Series, even ordering books in the right sequence.
• Keep everything synced across iPhone, iPad, and Mac thanks to iCloud backup and sync.

Quotes, reviews, and reflections

Highlight your favorite passages and save them in your personal quote collection. Add ratings and reviews when you finish a book, a great way to reflect and keep memories of your reading journey.

Quick access with Widgets and Shortcuts

Check your progress or open your current read directly from your Home Screen with Widgets. And with Shortcuts and Siri, you can log reading time or jump into a book with a simple voice command.

• Celebrate milestones: every finished book brings you closer to your goal.
