Quick overview
Margins — Book Tracker is an iPhone app built to make reading easier and more intentional. The free tool helps you monitor what you read, personalize how you log books, and develop a steady reading habit without clutter.
Core conveniences
- Track progress using flexible, approximate dates so you can capture reading periods even when exact days aren’t remembered
- Pick and highlight preferred cover images to give your library a personal look
- Rate titles with half-star precision to reflect subtle opinions
- Mark titles you’ve abandoned so your library stays realistic and tidy
- Keep a note of who suggested each book so recommendations are easy to revisit
Finding the right books
The app includes a powerful search engine that surfaces titles by mood, setting, or topic. Try searches that evoke a place or era (for example, novels that conjure 1920s Paris) or more specialized themes (such as books exploring scientifically grounded approaches to aging).
Tools for focused reading
Margins helps you set and reach reading goals, and it includes a built-in meditation-style timer called ReadingTime to support concentrated, mindful reading sessions. These features are aimed at creating a calmer, more productive reading routine.
Alternative app suggestion
If you’re also interested in a community-driven fiction and storytelling platform, consider Wattpad — a free option that emphasizes discovering and sharing original stories.
