Why Booktrace exists

A listening life deserves more than a page counter.

Booktrace is an independent iPhone app built around a simple mismatch: audiobooks happen in hours, chapters, voices, speeds, and sessions, while most reading trackers were designed around pages.

Hours

Chapters

Narrators

Sessions

The missing record

The player knows today. Booktrace remembers the whole story.

Audiobooks often move between Audible, Libby, Spotify, Apple Books, Everand, and whatever service happens to have the next title. Each player can show what is happening inside itself. Booktrace exists to give the listener one lasting record across all of them.

It does not replace those players or quietly pull data from their accounts. A listener chooses what to record: the book, chapter, narrator, playback speed, session, note, rating, or shelf that matters.

Product principles

The decisions behind the app.

Listening is not lesser reading.

The narrator, performance, playback speed, and time spent listening belong in the record of a book.

Private should be the default.

There is no Booktrace account or public profile. The library, history, notes, and ratings stay on the iPhone.

Progress should mean something.

A percentage alone is not enough. Booktrace keeps the chapter, published runtime, personal pace, and time remaining together.

The record should feel worth keeping.

Covers, sessions, calendars, stats, narrators, notes, and shelves turn a list of finished titles into a listening history.

Independent by design
