Field notes
The described workflow asks readers to start a timer and record their stopping page, whether they are reading paper or an ebook. The library can be filled by barcode scan or imported from Goodreads or StoryGraph, while statistics include books per month, hours, pages, streaks, and preferred reading time. An account is optional for the core experience; the page says it adds backup, recovery on a new phone, and Journal access.
