Features

A complete reading tracker, with one view nothing else has.

Litmus does the everyday things a book log should do, cleanly and on every device, and adds a picture of your reading you cannot get anywhere else: the spectrum of voices and perspectives across your shelf.


Track

Every book, on one shelf

Keep shelves for what you are reading, what you finished, and your to-read pile. Every book carries your rating, review, page count, and reading dates, and it all stays in sync between the web and your phone.

Add a book in seconds by scanning its barcode, or search by title, author, or ISBN.

The Litmus shelf

See the spectrum

The diversity of your reading, made visible

Litmus reads the signals already attached to your books, the authors and the themes, and shows you the mix across your shelf as a single diversity score with the full breakdown behind it.

It is conservative by design: it never guesses at a person, and it never scolds. A quiet mirror, for you.

Stats

Your reading, by the numbers

Books and pages read, average length, hours listened, unique authors, genres explored: your reading life in clear numbers that get more interesting the longer you keep them.

Filter by format and time period to see any slice of your history.

Litmus reading statistics

Stay motivated

Goals, streaks, and badges worth earning

Set a reading goal and keep a streak going, with freezes so one busy week does not erase months of momentum. Earn badges that mark real milestones rather than busywork.
