PageFlow is a calm, private reading tracker built for iOS. It works fully on-device with no accounts, feeds, or recommendations. You can import your Goodreads data, update progress in seconds, organise books with simple shelves, and keep your current read visible with Home and Lock Screen widgets. Designed to stay fast, minimal, and out of the way.
I built this because I wanted a reading tracker that felt calm, private, and fast. Most existing trackers push social feeds, accounts, or recommendations I don’t need, and I kept spending more time managing the app than reading. PageFlow keeps everything on your device, works without an account, and focuses on the essentials: tracking what you’re reading, updating progress quickly, and keeping your library organised without clutter.
The design challenge was to make the app feel effortless, adding a book in seconds, clean navigation, simple shelves, and widgets so your current read stays visible on your Home and Lock Screen. I also added a Goodreads import because I wanted to move my own data over without friction.
If you have thoughts on how the experience could be smoother, or features that would make this more useful for your own reading, I’d really appreciate hearing them. I’ll be here all day learning from your feedback.
@twostraws Thanks Paul! I took in as much as I could from your book and it was instrumental in getting me this far! I'm so excited to get this out for people to start trying!
