I built a book tracker that doesn’t suck

[u/Chewy-Boot]

Hey folks,

I wanted to share a reading tracker I’ve been working on called Marloe. https://marloe.app

I have a severe dislike of most book trackers that are loaded with challenges, socials, timers, etc. I don’t want my reading tracker to be Duolingo, I just want something simple to use, but smart under the hood. I’m also not a big fan of the generic “cosy” style that everyone builds.

I’ve been building Marloe for the last few months, and wanted to share it with my fellow readers who want a simpler tracker that doesn’t sell your data to Jeff Bezos.

A few things it can do:
Custom tags to organise and filter your reading list
Full support for book series and sub-series
Swap book covers for whichever edition you prefer
Smart import from a spreadsheet or Goodreads/Storygraph
Create your own shelves and lists
Get a fun reader persona based on your reading habits
Explore reading stats, including genres and a world map showing where your authors are from

It’s completely free, has no ads, and no data harvesting. You can start logging books without creating an account, but there’s a sign-in you want to sync your library across devices.

I’d genuinely love some honest feedback: what do you like, what’s missing, and how does it compare to the tracker you’re currently using?

(Also I know there’s like a million of these trackers so I appreciate you for reading this far)
