What's new in ReadingRate

A running record of what the app can do, newest first. Each entry says plainly what the feature does, which platforms have it, and where it falls short — the last part being the one most product notes leave out.

    See what to ask your assistant about your reading

    ReadingRate has a page at /ai that shows what an AI assistant can do once it is connected to your reading. It gives the setup for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini CLI and other apps, one worked exchange about a book, and eight questions you can copy into your assistant. Signed out, the book is one you looked at or a classic chosen for the day. Signed in, it is the book you are reading, and the questions are written from your own library.

    Follow a reading list from easiest to hardest

    ReadingRate now has reading lists: a subject or an author laid out as a climb, with every book placed by its measured difficulty so you start with the one you can finish and work up. Each book shows its difficulty out of 100 and the hours it takes at your pace. You can tick the ones you've read, put any book on Want to read, and save the whole list to your shelf in order. Nine lists are live, and browsing them needs no account.

    Read classics in ReadingRate's own editions

    ReadingRate now publishes its own editions of classics in the public domain. Each is set in one typeface with pages fixed at 250 words, so a page number means the same thing on every screen and at every text size, and each has a period illustration on its cover. They are free to read in ReadingRate's reader and free to download as EPUB. Twenty-seven are live, from Hamlet and the Iliad to Middlemarch and Mrs. Dalloway.

    How many words are on a page? A study of 1,989 books

    ReadingRate now publishes original studies from its catalogue, and the first answers a question usually answered by guesswork: how many words are on a page. Across 1,989 books and 20,167 print editions the median is 300 words a page, with the middle half of books between 250 and 347. The study page tells the finding as a story beside a live chart where every star is a book, and the data is free to reuse.

    Log a night of reading on a page tape

    Logging a night of reading is now one tape and one screen. Slide the tape of pages to where you stopped, or tap the number and type it. If nothing is logged yet today you can say "It was last night" and the night is counted on the day it belongs to. The screen that follows draws the book as a constellation with tonight's star added and the nights still to go at your pace, and has a box for your thoughts under the last thing you wrote about the book.

  • 2026-11-05 · iOS

    See what your queue does for your domains

    The Library in the iPhone app now shows your reading as a path: the books you have finished behind you, the one you are reading in the middle, and your queue ahead. Each book in Up next shows how long it is in nights at your own pace, and, on Reader, what finishing it would do for your reading domains: which stage it reaches, or how many books are left to the next one. Finished books are grouped by the year you finished them.

  • 2026-11-03 · web and iOS

    Link two quotes and say why

    You can now link two of your own saved quotes and write a line on why they belong together. The link runs both ways and shows on each quote. Quotes also come back one at a time to be revisited: the quote is shown whole with its source and one question, whether it brings another quote to mind. There are no grades to give.

  • 2026-10-30 · web and iOS

    Keep a journal with a sky for every book

    The journal now opens on a shelf of the books you have written about, each drawn as a small constellation with a star for every night you logged. Open a book and its page shows your nights, the page you reached, your pages a night and about how many nights are left at that pace, with everything you wrote and kept along the way. On the website you can also search every note you have written and download a book's notes as one file.

  • 2026-10-30 · web and iOS

    See the order of complexity a book sustains

    A book's page can now show its order of complexity: what the book asks you to hold together. It names the stage the book sustains and the stage its hardest passage peaks at, on a scale that runs from single events, through a line between variables, to whole constellations of ideas compared with one another. Under it the book is drawn passage by passage, with the peak passage quoted whole. It appears for books ReadingRate has read in full, and it is free.

  • 2026-10-30 · web

    Test your reading speed and time any book

    ReadingRate has a reading speed test and a reading time calculator, both free and neither needing an account. The test gives you a passage from a classic novel, asks three questions about it, and tells you your words a minute against the adult average. The calculator takes that speed and tells you how long a book will take, from its page count, its word count or its title.

  • 2026-10-30 · web and iOS

    Share a book club meeting with one link

    A book club read in ReadingRate is now a meeting. In the iPhone app you set the day, the time and who you're meeting for a book, and share the meeting as one link. Anyone who opens the link sees the book, the day and how many are reading; anyone who joins gets the book on their shelf with the date, and sees the others' first names and how far each has read. The earlier club pages, with their invite codes, schedules and discussion threads, were retired on 30 October 2026.

  • 2026-10-28 · web and iOS

    Add a book by pointing your camera at its cover

    The scanner you use to add a book recognises the book from its cover, not only from its barcode. Point the camera at the front of the book and it is found. This is now open to free accounts, with five covers a day; Reader gets fifty.

  • 2026-10-28 · web and iOS

    See the next three books in each of your domains

    On Reader, ReadingRate now names the next three books in each of your reading domains, each with a reason that cites the books you have already read and how long it would take at your pace. In the iPhone app this is Your path on a domain's page, a row on the dashboard for the domains closest to their next stage, and a reading map of five domains. On the website the picks appear when you finish a book, for the domains that book moved.

  • 2026-10-28 · web

    Check your own writing for words that close a question

    ReadingRate has a guide page called The limits of your language, about the words that end a question instead of answering it. It sorts them into seven groups, gives the Latin name for each move, and shows one claim argued at three levels of complexity. It also has a checker: paste a review, an email or a post, and it underlines every word from the seven groups and counts them. The check runs in your browser and nothing you paste is sent anywhere.

  • 2026-10-28 · web

    Use the website in Russian

    The ReadingRate website is in Russian as well as English. A visitor who has not signed in sees the site in their browser's language if it is one of the two, and a signed-in reader sees the language set in their account, which can be changed in Settings. The iPhone app was already in both languages.

    Find out what your reading would earn you a PhD in

    ReadingRate has a quiz at /phd that asks what your reading would get you a doctorate in. Over ten rounds you pick one book from four, and the result names one of 65 fields, a dissertation title, a committee of three writers, the picks that earned it and a close second. It then lists the field's ten core books with the hours each takes, so the time to your degree is the hours of the ones you have not read. It takes about two minutes and needs no account.

  • 2026-10-22 · web and iOS

    Decide what ReadingRate may do with your reading

    ReadingRate now asks before it sends your reading to an AI model. The question has two equal answers, Allow and Not now, and says what is sent and who receives it. Not now keeps every AI feature off for your account on the website, in the iPhone app, on the Apple Watch and in Siri, and stops the jobs that would otherwise run on their own. You can change the answer at any time in Settings, under Privacy.

  • 2026-10-21 · web and iOS

    Log an introduction on its roman-numbered pages

    If a book has an introduction numbered in roman numerals, you can now log it as printed. The page field takes a roman page such as xiv, your place reads the way the book prints it, and ReadingRate asks whether you read the introduction or skipped it, so those pages count only if you read them.

  • 2026-10-19 · web

    Log today's reading from an email in one tap

    The emails ReadingRate sends in a reader's first days now carry a link that logs today's reading without signing in. The link opens a page that names your book and asks whether you read some of it today, with an optional field for the page you are on and one button. Press it and the day is logged.

  • 2026-10-16 · web

    Read essays that show the data behind the book

    ReadingRate now publishes Marginalia, essays by its founder on books he has finished, at /essays. Each essay sits beside what ReadingRate measures about the book: its nine difficulty measures drawn against the writer's own comfort zone, its literary regard with the reasons for each part, its place on Northrop Frye's wheel of stories, and the reading domains it counts toward. Eleven essays are live. They are free and need no account.

  • 2026-10-06 · web and iOS

    See a portrait of your reading

    Once you have finished three books, the dashboard shows a portrait of your reading built from them. It opens with one sentence about your shelf and every finished book as a line, taller for a harder book. Under it are where the difficulty in your reading comes from, how hard you read, a map of where your writers were born, who you read, when they wrote, and a calendar of the days your reading load fell on. Choose any part of a figure and the books behind it are listed.

  • 2026-08-24 · web

    Look up any book's difficulty through a public API

    ReadingRate has a public, read-only API for its catalogue. Search by title or author, or ask for a book by its address, and get back its difficulty score with the dimensions behind it, its reading time, word count, page count and literary regard as JSON. It needs no key and no account, and it is documented at /developers with an OpenAPI description.

  • 2026-08-13 · web

    The 100 best books, ranked — with difficulty scores

    ReadingRate's 100 best books is ranked on literary-regard data — canonical standing, critical acclaim and influence — rather than user star ratings, and every entry carries a difficulty score so you can pick a great book you'll actually finish. Beside the main hundred there are 104 further lists: the best books by women, by country, by original language, by genre, by reading domain, and the easiest and the hardest to read. Each list can be looked at four ways: by difficulty, through time, on a map of where its authors were born, and by which books descend from which.

  • 2026-08-13 · web

    Honest comparisons with other reading apps

    ReadingRate publishes comparisons against Goodreads, StoryGraph, Fable, Kindle, BookTok and Bookly that state plainly where each of them is better and where we are — including that we have no Android app. They're written to be useful to someone deciding, not to win, and they say outright that this isn't an either/or: most readers run more than one tool.

  • 2026-08-12 · web and iOS

    Scan your bookshelf to fill your library

    You can now photograph a bookshelf and have the spines read into your ReadingRate library. A vision model transcribes each title and author it can see and matches them against the catalogue; confident matches arrive pre-checked and uncertain ones wait for you to approve them. It is free at three scans a day, with thirty on Reader, and available during onboarding or any time from your library.

  • 2026-08-12 · web and iOS

    See when you'll finish the book you're reading

    ReadingRate projects the date you'll finish your current book by dividing the pages you have left by the pace you have actually been reading at, across real calendar days. It updates every time you log a session, so a long evening pulls the date closer and a week away pushes it out. It's free and needs no membership.

  • 2026-08-12 · web and iOS

    See which subjects you're actually well read in

    ReadingRate maps your finished books onto subjects and gives each one a mastery stage, so instead of a list of titles you get a picture of where you've read deeply and where you've only dabbled. Import a Goodreads library and the whole history is enriched and mapped at once.

  • 2026-08-12 · web

    Share a card that says what kind of reader you are

    ReadingRate can draw you a reader card: an image carrying your name, how many books you have finished, up to three subjects you have read deeply enough to have earned a stage in, and which of Northrop Frye's four seasons your reading leans towards — spring for comedy, summer for romance, autumn for tragedy, winter for irony and myth. It is free, made only when you ask for it, and comes back as an image to post, copy or download.

  • 2026-08-09 · iOS

    Capture the books you talk about, with an Omi pendant

    If you wear an Omi pendant, ReadingRate can listen for books in your everyday conversation. Mention a title to a friend and it's recorded as a book you talked about; read a passage aloud and it's saved as a quote against the right book. On iOS these appear under Settings as "Books You Talked About", where you can add any of them to your library in a tap.

  • 2026-08-09 · iOS

    Log your reading by talking

    You can run your library by speaking to it. Say you read to page 140 and it logs the session against the right book; say you have started something new and it is added; ask what you were part-way through and it tells you. Six spoken intents are supported — status, add, recall, book info, finish and debrief — and the app matches what you said against your actual library rather than making you name things exactly.

  • 2026-08-08 · web and iOS

    Chat with your library on WhatsApp

    ReadingRate now answers on WhatsApp. Link your account once and you can ask about your reading in plain language — what you were part-way through, what a book's difficulty looks like, what to pick up next — and add books to a shelf without opening the app. It replies in the thread you already have open, and check-in messages are deterministic rather than AI-generated, so it doesn't chatter. Message it on +351 931 179 283.

  • 2026-07-07 · web

    Turn your Goodreads export into a shareable shelf

    Upload a Goodreads CSV export and ReadingRate turns it into a page you can share: your books as a timeline of covers in the order you read them, the span of years they cover, the totals for books and pages, and how many you gave five stars. The shelf is a frozen snapshot with its own link — it stays exactly as it was when you saved it — and anyone can open it without an account.

  • 2026-07-05 · web and iOS

    See your reading mapped onto Frye's Anatomy of Criticism

    ReadingRate includes an interactive atlas built on Northrop Frye's Anatomy of Criticism — his framework of modes, symbols, myths and genres — and plots your own finished books onto it. Instead of a list of what you have read, you get a picture of which seasons and modes your reading clusters in, and which parts of the map you have never visited.

  • 2026-07-04 · web

    Browse literature by era

    ReadingRate lets you move through literary history by period — ancient, medieval, early modern, the nineteenth century, the twentieth, the contemporary — rather than by popularity, and shows which eras your own reading has covered and which it has skipped entirely.

  • 2026-07-03 · web and iOS

    Sync your reading into Obsidian

    ReadingRate has an Obsidian plugin that writes your reading life into your vault as interconnected Markdown notes: one per book, author, journal entry and theme, plus quote collections, completion debriefs, domain mastery and a yearly timeline. Everything carries YAML frontmatter and wikilinks, so graph view, Dataview and search work on it like any other note.

  • 2026-07-03 · web and iOS

    Read a poem a day, and keep the lines

    ReadingRate carries a poetry corpus of more than 92,000 lines and treats poems as reading rather than decoration. You can keep a rotation going, log a poem as read, save an individual line, and annotate a specific line rather than the whole poem — which is the unit poetry actually works in.

  • 2026-06-18 · iOS

    Save a quote by reading it aloud

    Tap the microphone, read a passage aloud, and ReadingRate transcribes it and corrects it against the book itself — restoring exact wording and proper nouns that speech-to-text reliably mangles. Say the page number or who is speaking and both are pulled out into their own fields rather than left inside the quote. The saved passage is then tagged by theme and compared against everything else you've saved.

  • 2026-06-06 · iOS

    Log your reading from an Apple Watch

    ReadingRate has an Apple Watch app. It shows the books you have in progress with a progress ring for each, lets you log the page you reached, and takes a dictated quote straight from your wrist — because the moment you stop reading is rarely a moment you want to pick up a phone.

  • 2026-05-04 · web

    A purity check that no author passes

    ReadingRate publishes a satirical page at /is-my-author-problematic. Type any author's name and it returns a verdict, always yes, phrased eighteen different ways. It looks nothing up. The name you type never leaves the browser and never affects the answer, because the joke is that no writer has ever passed a purity test, and reading would be a thin business if that were the standard.

  • 2026-04-28 · web and iOS

    Read EPUBs inside ReadingRate

    You can upload an EPUB and read it inside ReadingRate rather than tracking a book you're reading somewhere else. Highlights become quotes with the exact wording preserved, progress updates as you read rather than needing to be logged, and the book's text becomes searchable — which is what lets a quote you dictate be corrected against the real sentence.

  • 2026-04-08 · web and iOS

    Connect your reading to Claude and ChatGPT

    ReadingRate exposes your reading through MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants can work from your actual library once you authorise it. Looking up a book needs no account. With a free account an assistant can log a reading day, add a book, save a quote and read your own log back to you. On Reader it can also analyse your reading: what to read next from your rated books and saved quotes, how your taste is moving, and which passages in a book you uploaded support an interpretation you're forming.

  • 2026-03-27 · web and iOS

    Follow other readers and see what they're reading

    ReadingRate has a feed of the readers you follow: the books they have started and the books they have finished, over the last thirty days. Following is one-way, like a follow rather than a friend request, so there is nothing to accept. When the feed is empty it suggests readers to follow based on books you have both finished, and tells you how many you share.

  • 2026-03-12 · iOS

    Capture quotes and sessions with no signal

    In the ReadingRate iOS app, everything you write while reading saves without a connection. Quotes, journal entries and logged sessions are written to the device before any network attempt and appear immediately; they upload when the signal returns or the next time you open the app. The reading timer runs offline, a downloaded EPUB reads offline, and a dictated quote is corrected against that book's own text on the device rather than on a server.

  • 2026-03-05 · iOS

    Prepare for a book club from your own notes

    Mark a book as a book club read, give it the meeting's day and time and who you're meeting, and ReadingRate works out the pace you need — counting only the days you actually read on — and shows the meeting on your dashboard with the nights left. On the day, Tonight gathers the lines you saved for that book, whole and with their pages, and your own questions; suggested talking points are there if you ask for them.

  • 2026-02-20 · iOS

    Share a reading session as a short video

    A single reading session can be rendered as a fifteen-second video. Three rings — words, time and cognitive load — close around the book's cover, followed by the day number and page you reached, the pages, minutes and words per minute, and optionally a quote you saved from that book. It is made in the iOS app, square or story-shaped, and arrives in the share sheet as an MP4 you can save or post.

  • 2026-02-12 · web and iOS

    Time your reading sessions

    ReadingRate has a reading timer that runs on the web, on the phone, on the Apple Watch and in the Mac menu bar. Start it when you sit down; when you stop it asks what page you reached, so the session records minutes and pages together rather than one without the other. On the iPhone it runs as a Live Activity, keeping the elapsed time and your progress ring on the lock screen. It's free.

  • 2026-02-08 · iOS

    Save a quote from any app with the share sheet

    Select text anywhere on an iPhone — a browser, a reading app, Notes, a message — and send it to ReadingRate through the share sheet to file it as a quote against a book you are reading. Send a screenshot of a page instead and the page number is read out of the image and logged as progress. Neither needs the app to be open, and both work from any app that offers a normal iOS share sheet.

  • 2026-02-08 · web

    Illustrate a passage as you read

    This feature was retired on 7 November 2026. Until then you could select a passage while reading an EPUB on the website and choose Illustrate, and the app wrote a scene description out of the text and generated a picture of it. The reader's menu now offers four highlight colours, Quote, Note, Ask and Copy, and Illustrate is no longer in it.

  • 2026-01-28 · web and iOS

    Answers that draw on academic writing about a book

    When you ask ReadingRate about a book, the answer can draw on academic writing about that book. Papers are found through OpenAlex, ranked by how often they have been cited, distilled to a one-sentence argument each, and pulled into a conversation when they bear on what you asked — so an answer can tell you what a named scholar argued rather than only what a model thinks. Coverage is small: a few dozen books so far, growing nightly.

  • 2026-01-27 · web

    A daily connection between things you've read

    Once a day ReadingRate finds passages from different parts of your reading that circle the same idea — a line you saved a fortnight ago, a page from the book you are in now, a poem you read last week — names the theme they share, and asks you a single question about it. What you write is saved to your reading journal. It appears on the web dashboard and is part of membership.

  • 2026-01-15 · iOS

    Run your reading log from Siri

    Ten Siri shortcuts control ReadingRate: start and stop the reading timer, log the page you reached or the pages you read, save a quote or a journal note by dictating it, ask what you're reading, hear your reading stats, ask when you'll finish a book at your pace, and mark a book finished. Most of them complete inside Siri without opening the app. It's an iOS feature.

  • 2026-01-12 · web and iOS

    Share a quote as an image

    Any passage you have saved in ReadingRate can be turned into an image to post. Choose one of three styles, one of three shapes — square, story or landscape — set the typeface, highlight a phrase inside the passage, and add a note of up to a hundred characters. The card is drawn on your own device rather than generated by a model, so it appears the moment you ask for it, and it is free for anyone with an account.

  • 2026-01-12 · web and iOS

    Get a monthly and yearly summary of your reading

    ReadingRate summarises your reading by month and by year in two forms. On the web you can generate a short written summary of any month or any year — a few sentences on what you read and how it went, drawn from the books you finished — and publish it at its own public link with an image. On iOS, a wrap of the month's numbers arrives on the first: books, hours, words and active days, plus how the year is going so far. You can also generate one for any date range you choose.

  • 2026-01-12 · web and iOS

    See a book's cast without spoiling what's ahead

    ReadingRate builds a cast list for a book out of the book's own text: who each character is, what else they are called, where they first appear, and how they are related to everyone else. On the web the list is filtered to the page you have reached, so a character you have not met is not shown. While you are still reading, a character shows only a name, a role and a first appearance; the aliases, the description and the relationships are written from the whole book, ending included, and appear once you finish. Finish the book and the cast becomes a recall deck on your iPhone, resurfacing characters on a spaced-repetition schedule.

  • 2026-01-12 · web and iOS

    Four questions when you finish a book

    When you mark a book finished, ReadingRate asks you four questions. With AI features on they are written for that book and for you, from the passages you kept and the notes you logged while reading, with a thread to another book you have finished where one is there to pull. Your answers are saved as a journal entry. On the website the finish now starts with stars and one line of your own, the questions open at once, and it ends with the book in your words: your notes in page order, then each question with your answer.

  • 2026-01-12 · web and iOS

    Reminders that back off when you ignore them

    ReadingRate can remind you to read, and the interval between nudges adapts to how you respond: act on them and it shortens, ignore them and it lengthens, moving between one day and fourteen. Separately it tells you when something has actually happened — an EPUB you uploaded finished processing, a book in your library gained new analysis. Quiet hours are honoured in your own timezone, and none of it costs anything.

  • 2026-01-11 · web and iOS

    Your quotes, connected across every book you've read

    Every quote you save is automatically tagged with a few themes and compared by meaning against everything else you've saved. A passage from a novel can surface alongside one from a poem or a science book when they circle the same idea, and saved quotes come back later on a spaced-repetition schedule so you meet them again before they fade.

  • 2026-01-11 · web and iOS

    See what a character looks like

    Ask ReadingRate what a character looks like, in those words, in a conversation about the book, and it searches the book's text for the passages describing them, writes a visual description grounded in those passages, then generates a portrait. Each image gets its own page you can share, and every image made from a book is collected on a gallery page for that book. It is part of membership.

  • 2026-01-11 · web and iOS

    Ask questions about the books in your library

    ReadingRate has a chat that answers from your own library rather than from the internet. You do not pick a book first: ask a question and it searches across the books you own, the passages you have saved, your journal entries, and how far into each book you are. If a question would give away plot in a book you are part-way through, it stops and tells you which books are affected before it answers. It is part of membership.

  • 2026-01-09 · web and iOS

    What a ReadingRate membership includes

    Tracking your reading and browsing the catalogue are free, and stay free: logging every reading day, the library, the journal, saved quotes, import and export, and the difficulty and reading time of every book. The paid plan is called Reader. On the website it is €10 a month or €59 a year, with no trial, because the free plan is the trial. Reader adds your stage in every reading domain with three next books in each, your map of stories and eras, asking about your reading in Claude, ChatGPT and WhatsApp, thirty shelf scans a day instead of three, the chat about your books and the Companion in the reader.

  • 2026-01-06 · web

    Plan the order of your next books

    Drag the books you plan to read next into the order you want them and ReadingRate dates the whole queue: each book gets a projected start and finish, chained one after another from the day your current book ends. The estimates use your own words-per-day and stretch for difficult books and shrink for easy ones. Reorder the queue and every date moves with it.

  • 2026-01-05 · web and iOS

    Every book scored on nine dimensions of difficulty

    Every book in the ReadingRate catalogue carries nine difficulty scores rather than a single reading level, split into technical difficulty — vocabulary, sentence structure, abstraction, information density — and interpretive difficulty — narrative indirection, symbolic density, ironic distance, withheld resolution, structural complexity. Each score comes with a short written explanation of why the book scored that way.

  • 2026-01-03 · web

    Pull your Readwise highlights in

    Paste a Readwise API token and every highlight you have saved from a book arrives in ReadingRate as a quote — the passage, your note, the date you highlighted it, and its Readwise tags kept as themes. Books you don't have yet are created in your library so the highlights have somewhere to live. Run it again whenever you like: highlights already imported are skipped, and after the first sync it only fetches what has changed. This is in the web app.

  • 2026-01-03 · web and iOS

    Take your reading data with you

    Everything you put into ReadingRate comes back out, on any tier. The web app exports your library, journal entries and quotes as Markdown — either one consolidated file or a zip with a file per book — and lets you choose which fields to include. The iOS app adds a CSV built to the Goodreads and StoryGraph column layout, so it loads straight into either of them. Neither export needs a membership.

    See how often a book is taught at university

    Book pages on ReadingRate show how many university syllabi a book appears on, counted by the Open Syllabus Project. The figure sits inside the panel explaining how that book's literary regard was scored, as one of the inputs to canonical standing — because a book set on six thousand reading lists is being taught, and that is a different fact from being popular. It is free and needs no account.

    Browse the major literary prizes

    ReadingRate lists every winner of the major literary prizes — the Nobel in Literature, the Booker and International Booker, the Pulitzer for Fiction, the National Book Award for Fiction and for Nonfiction, the Women's Prize, the Hugo and the Nebula for best novel, the Prix Goncourt, the Dublin Literary Award, the PEN/Faulkner, the Costa Novel Award, the Beveridge Award and the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction — with shortlists and finalists where they are held. Beside them is a hub of 59 lists of record, including the Modern Library 100, Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century, TIME's All-TIME 100 Novels and the Open Syllabus top 500. Every book carries its difficulty score, and if you're signed in the ones you've read are ticked. The pages are public and need no account.

    Import your Goodreads library

    Export your Goodreads library as a CSV and ReadingRate reads the whole file: titles, authors, ISBNs, your star ratings, your reviews, the dates you read, and which shelf each book sat on. Read, currently reading, to read and did-not-finish each become a status here. Books the catalogue doesn't have are created rather than dropped. The import runs in the background so you can close the page, and it's free with any account, on the web and in the iOS app.

    Give your reading a public page

    Every reader can have a page at readingrate.com/u/yourname. It shows the books they have read as a timeline of covers, with progress on anything still open, a short bio and a rotating line of reading statistics. Once you make it public, nobody needs an account to see it. What appears is controlled section by section in your privacy settings — currently reading, completed books, statistics, quotes and your member number each have a switch, and one setting hides the profile entirely.

    Mirror your reading into Notion

    Connect a Notion workspace and ReadingRate writes your books, journal entries, quotes and saved AI insights into your own Notion databases as you create them. It finds the right databases in your workspace by name, and it writes only the properties your databases actually have — a field you never made is skipped rather than forced in. Nothing in Notion is deleted, and a nightly pass picks up anything that failed to send.
