Books A reading tracker that follows you page by page

Catalogie tracks what you are reading, what you finished and the to-be-read pile you keep adding to. Progress is the page you are actually on, statuses cover the books you paused and the ones you abandoned, and if a book is missing from the catalogue you can add it yourself.

The Catalogie book tracker, showing books with reading progress, covers and page counts.

The reading life you keep meaning to keep

Reading is the one people most want a record of and least often have. The books blur together, the year ends, and the honest answer to "what did you read?" is four titles and a shrug - even though it was closer to twenty.

Catalogie tracks reading by the page. Note where you stopped and the book knows how far through you are, which is a far more useful thing than a shelf labelled "currently reading" holding six books you have not opened since March. Set the page, see the percentage, and pick the one you are genuinely closest to finishing.

The statuses are honest too. Reading, paused, want to read, finished - and stopped, for the ones you gave up on, because pretending otherwise is how a to-be-read pile becomes a source of guilt rather than a list. Change your mind and put a book back on the pile and your reading progress is kept; it is history, not a setting.

What you can track

  • Progress by the page

    Record the page you stopped on and see exactly how far through you are. Finishing a book you are 80 percent through beats starting a fourth one.

  • Reading, paused, want to read, finished

    Plus stopped, for the ones you abandoned. Honest statuses keep the to-be-read pile a list rather than an accusation.

  • Progress kept as history

    Move a book back to want-to-read and the reading you already did is not deleted. Your progress is a record of what happened, not a switch.

  • Add a book we do not have

    Missing from the catalogue? Describe it once - title, author, year - and after a quick check it becomes a real entry everyone can use, with a note back to you when yours goes in.

  • Rate on your own scale

    Five stars with halves or a ten-point scale, set separately for books - the scale that suits novels does not have to be the one you use for films.

  • Custom lists and collections

    Group however you actually think - "Cozy fantasy", "Finish in 2026", "Borrowed, must return" - and reorder them with a drag.

  • A to-be-read pile you can see

    One prioritised queue with filters for length and mood, so choosing the next book takes a moment rather than an evening.

  • Covers, blurbs and details

    Full metadata and cover art from Google Books - author, year, page count and blurb - so your shelf looks like a shelf.

  • Your reading year, counted

    Books and pages finished, this month, this year and all time, plus your genre fingerprint, rating curve, reading streak and a Yearly Wrap for any year.

How it works

  1. 01

    Find the book

    Search over 2.4 million books and editions with covers and detail from Google Books - or add one yourself if it is missing.

  2. 02

    Note where you stopped

    Update the page as you go. The percentage follows, and the book tells you how much is left.

  3. 03

    Finish more of what you start

    Seeing you are 80 percent through something is usually all it takes. At year's end you have a real record instead of a shrug.

Bring your reading list with you

Years of Goodreads exports and half-finished spreadsheets are exactly what nobody wants to retype. Import what you have and start from where you actually are.

  • Import from a spreadsheet or an export from the reading app you use now
  • Bring across what you have finished, what you are part-way through and the whole to-be-read pile
  • See a preview of exactly what will be added before anything is saved
  • Anything that cannot be matched is listed up front and skipped, never silently guessed at
  • Large imports keep running after you close the tab, and we email you when they finish

Book tracking questions

Is the reading tracker free?
Yes - Catalogie is free to use, forever. Every feature is unlocked for everyone, with no credit card, no trial clock and no expiry. Nothing about reading tracking sits behind a paid tier.
Does it track pages or just whole books?
Pages. Record the page you stopped on and Catalogie shows exactly how far through you are, so you can pick up the book you are closest to finishing rather than starting another one.
What if a book is not in the catalogue?
Add it yourself. Describe it once - title, subtitle, author, year - and after a quick check it becomes a real entry that everyone can use, and you get a note back when yours goes in. The catalogue grows from the people reading.
What happens if I abandon a book?
It has its own status, separate from paused and from finished. And if you move a book back to your want-to-read list, the reading progress you already made is kept rather than wiped - it is history, not a setting.
Can I set a reading goal?
Your books, pages and reading streak are counted on the dashboard, month by month and year by year, with a Yearly Wrap you can pull up for any year - so progress toward a target is visible without a separate challenge to sign up for.
Can I import my books from Goodreads or a spreadsheet?
Yes. Import a spreadsheet or an export from the reading app you use now, covering what you have finished, what you are part-way through and your whole to-be-read pile. You see a preview before anything is saved, and anything unmatched is listed rather than guessed at.
Is my reading list private?
Private by default. Books have their own sharing toggle, separate from movies, TV and games, so you can keep your reading to yourself while sharing everything else, or share nothing at all.
Does it track anything besides books?
Yes. Movies, TV series and video games share the same library and dashboard, so your reading sits next to everything else you are getting through rather than in a separate app.
