Why Book Tracker has no subscriptions or ads

Many apps today rely on subscriptions, in-app ads, or even selling user data to stay profitable.

Book Tracker was built with a completely different philosophy: a one-time purchase model, no ads, and a strict commitment to privacy.

One-time purchase, lifetime updates

  • Book Tracker is available as a one-time purchase per platform (iOS/iPadOS and macOS sold separately).
  • Since its launch in 2019, users who bought the app have received all updates and new features for free — no hidden costs, no upgrade fees.
  • Buying the app once ensures you can continue using it as long as you want, without recurring payments.

No ads, no data collection

  • Book Tracker does not include advertising.
  • The app never collects or sells your personal data.
  • Your entire library is stored locally or, if you choose, in your private iCloud account.

Why this matters

  • No distractions → no banners, pop-ups, or ads interrupting your reading life.
  • No lock-in → you don’t need to keep paying to access your own data.
  • Privacy-first → you control your reading library entirely.

Why Book Tracker charges separately on iOS and Mac

Best practices

  • If you want Book Tracker on multiple Apple devices, purchase it for both platforms — it’s still a one-time fee per platform, not a recurring subscription.
  • Remember: all future updates are included once you buy.
  • For families, you can enable Family Sharing to let multiple people use Book Tracker with a single purchase.

✅ Book Tracker proves that a modern, full-featured app doesn’t need subscriptions or ads. One purchase, lifetime use, and complete privacy.
