They start with enthusiasm but abandon them. - 40% of readers never finish the books they start - 25% is the typical drop-off point in a book - 1-2 weeks is when motivation fades Sources: Goodreads, Stanford University, UK Gov Reading Agency --- ## Two Ways to Read a Book Not all readers are the same. Whether you're building a gentle habit or racing toward a deadline, Leaf adapts to your needs. ### Flexible Mode - For building lasting habits Set a daily page goal and read at your own pace. Missed a day? No stress. Your goal stays the same - just pick up where you left off. Example: "I want to read 15 pages a day" - No pressure if life gets busy - Perfect for casual readers - Builds sustainable habits ### Fixed Date Mode - For must-finish deadlines Have a book club meeting or exam deadline? Set your finish date and Leaf calculates exactly how many pages you need daily. Example: "I must finish by March 15th" - Auto-adjusts if you miss days - Perfect for book clubs and school - Never miss a deadline Switch between modes anytime - even mid-book. Your progress is always preserved. Books can be tracked by page, by percentage, or, for audiobooks, by minutes. --- ## Reading Challenges (Challenge Pass) A reading challenge is a single reading plan across several books at once, not a per-book goal. Building a challenge is free; running one needs a Challenge Pass ({passPrice}, one payment for three months, no renewal) or Leaf Pro. - Choose how many books, which ones from your library or search, and a single finish date - Leaf works backwards across every book at once into one daily page target, recalculated every day - A weekly check-in reports real figures: the book, the pages left, and what that means in days - Move the finish line, add a book, or drop one at any point; nothing resets and there is no penalty for falling behind - A dashboard shows the projected finish date next to the date you chose, and a finisher recap when the challenge ends - Private by default: no feeds, no leaderboards, nobody watching your progress - A dedicated challenge home- and lock-screen widget keeps today's pace in view --- ## Reading Streaks and Streak Recovery A streak counts every consecutive day you log reading. Leaf is built to keep the habit alive, not to punish a slip. - Streak recovery: forgot to log yesterday? Backdate the session the next day and your streak stays intact - Streak pause: when no book is being read, the streak freezes instead of breaking, then resumes when you start a new book - A short grace period forgives late-night reading --- ## Milestone Badges Grow your reading forest. Unlock milestone badges as your streak grows. Each one represents your dedication to reading. - Sprout: 3 days - Seedling: 7 days - Sapling: 14 days - Tree: 30 days - Grove: 60 days - Oak: 100 days - Forest: 200 days - Redwood: 365 days - Ancient: 730 days Milestones are permanent. Once earned, yours forever. --- ## Notes and Quotes Capture what stays with you as you read, without leaving the app for a separate notes tool. - Add a free-text note or capture a quote on any book, in any status - Pin a note to the exact page it refers to - Flag a note as a quote to keep verbatim passages apart from your own thoughts - After logging progress, an optional prompt lets you add a note tied to the page you just reached - Look back on all of a book's notes as a chronological recap once you finish - Share one or several notes as an image or text - Notes are included in your CSV export and import; with Leaf Pro they also sync across your devices - Free for everyone --- ## Rate and Rank Your Reads - Rate finished books on a half-star scale, from 0.5 to 5 stars, each with a descriptive label - Turn your rated books into a shareable tier list with S to D lanes, custom tier labels, and the option to hide a tier - Rank the books you finished in any month or year, drag covers into tiers - Export as a Story (9:16), Square (1:1), or Post (4:5) image and share anywhere - Free for everyone --- ## Your Library, Organized - Custom shelves you manage: start from Reading, To Read (TBR), Read, and Dropped, or add your own - Switch the whole library between list, grid, and compact layouts from the ⋯ menu - Sort each shelf, including a "left to read today" sort and honest finish/drop dates - Multiple books can be in progress at once - A fully local library search across every shelf, by title or author, works offline - Long-press any book for quick actions (change status, drop, share) - Add translator, editor, illustrator, and narrator credits, plus a synopsis, to any book --- ## Book Ownership and Borrowed Books - Track ownership per book: owned, borrowed, or not owned - Mark a book as borrowed and set a return date - A color-coded badge flags urgency as the due date approaches, shown on the book's detail screen too - A reminder fires automatically 3 days before the book is due - Return a book as finished or unfinished in one tap, or clear the borrowed status if the loan is extended --- ## Series Suggestions Finish a book in a series and Leaf finds the next volume automatically, ready to add to your library or start reading. --- ## Import, Export, and Portability - Import a full reading history from a Goodreads or StoryGraph CSV in one step (statuses, ratings, dates) - Re-import a previous Leaf CSV export, including your notes, quotes, contributor credits, and start dates - Export your entire library to CSV anytime: books, statuses, dates, ratings, progress, and notes - No lock-in, your reading history is always yours --- ## Sharing - Turn any book-list, shelf, or hand-picked selection into a customizable cover grid, and export it as an image - Share a scannable QR code that opens the book-list, a shared shelf, or Leaf itself for whoever scans it - Share one or several book notes or quotes as an image or text - A global toggle controls whether shared images carry the Leaf mark --- ## AI Integrations (Leaf Pro) Connect Leaf to ChatGPT, Claude, or Notion and talk to your library in plain language. - "What am I reading right now?" - "Log 30 pages of Dune" - "Add a note: the twist on page 210 changed everything" - "What should I read next?" Your reading data is never used to train AI models. Only what you explicitly send leaves your device. --- ## Home Screen Widgets Native home- and lock-screen widgets keep your current book and progress, an active reading challenge, or a quick "Add Note" shortcut in view without opening the app, on both iOS and Android. --- ## How It Works No complicated setup.
