Why do I need to buy Book Tracker separately on iOS and Mac?

Book Tracker is sold as two separate apps: one for iPhone/iPad and one for Mac.

Why two purchases?

  • Each app is developed and maintained independently, optimized for its platform.
  • By keeping them separate, you pay only once per platform with a lifetime purchase.
  • There are no subscriptions, no hidden costs, and no forced upgrades.

How Book Tracker differs from other apps

Many popular book apps use a different model:

  • They often require an account, which means your reading data is stored on their servers.
  • They may show ads or sell aggregated user data.
  • They usually work with recurring subscriptions, so you pay every month or year to keep using them.

Book Tracker is different:

  • Privacy-first: your data never leaves your devices or your private iCloud.
  • No ads, no tracking, no selling of user data.
  • One-time purchase per platform, with unlimited access.
  • Free updates since 2019, including all major features released so far.
