Remember Every Book You've Read. Track It Your Way.
Reading apps never quite track it the way you read: they're clunky, they miss your rereads, DNFs and audiobooks, and you still can't remember what you thought of a book two years later. The Ultimate Book Tracker is one file you own. Enter a book once and your notes, TBR, series, library and stats fill themselves in. Excel and Google Sheets, both included.
- Every book you've read, with your rating and notes
- Every format your way: audiobooks, rereads, DNF
- Your TBR in one list you can filter
- Every book you own and where it is, so you stop re-buying

Your own file, on any device
14 Tabs. One File. Every Book You Read.
Add a book to your Reading List and the rest fills in: dashboard, library, TBR, series, shelves and covers.
Why a Sheet Works When Reading Apps Didn't
It tracks what you want, the way you read. When nothing in an app works how you want, your own file does: every field is yours.
Track It Your Way
Paperback, hardback, ebook or audiobook, start and finish dates, half-star ratings, series, and your own genres, shelves and tags. Five statuses: TBR, Reading, Read, DNF and Rereading.
Remember What You Read
Every book gets a card with your rating, review, notes and favourite quotes. Search a title years later and read back what you thought of it, written for future you.
My Library
My Library shows every book you own, which shelf it's on and who borrowed it. Search a title before you buy and check if you already own a copy.
Your Reading in Numbers
A dashboard for any year: books read, pages, hours listened, genres, authors, formats and books per month, plus a monthly wrap-up ready to screenshot.
Your Own File, Private
It lives in your Google Drive or on your computer. Nothing to sync, no update can wipe your library, and nobody sees your ratings or reviews.
Pay Once, Room for 5,000 Books
Room for 5,000 books, no 20-book cap. No ads, no account, no subscription. Switch the year filter and use it again next year.
Everything Included
Start & Log (3 Tabs)
Start Here (set up in 3 steps, how covers work, a short FAQ), Settings (your own formats, sources, statuses, genres, shelves and tags, plus your yearly goal in books and pages) and the Reading List, where you enter each book once.
See Your Reading (5 Tabs)
Dashboard, Monthly Wrap-Up, Book Card + Book Filter, Reading Calendar, and a 12-month Reading Tracker with daily Read and Listened boxes.
Your Books (4 Tabs)
My Library (what you own, where it is, who borrowed it), TBR & Wishlist, Purchased (what you spent on books) and the Series Tracker.
Shelves & Covers (2 Tabs)
Reading Shelves (spines by location, genre, rating or year finished) and the Cover Gallery (covers fill in from the ISBN in Google Sheets).
Also Included
Everything in the Ultimate Book Tracker
Every tab works in Excel and Google Sheets. Enter a book once in your Reading List and the rest fills in by itself.
Enter a Book Once, the Rest Updates
Your Reading List is the one place you type. Add the title, author and ISBN, pick a format and a status, and every other tab updates: dashboard, library, TBR, series, calendar, shelves and covers. Track every book your way, in every format.
Your Reading Year in Numbers
Pick a year and the whole dashboard turns to it: books read, pages, hours listened, DNFs, rereads and your average rating, with your progress against the yearly goal you set. You'll see things like how much literary fiction you really read once you start tracking genres.
Have I Read It? What Did I Think?
Type a title and its book card opens: your rating, review, notes and favourite quotes, years later. The Book Filter narrows your whole list by up to 8 fields over a grid of covers, and shows whether you own a book and which shelf it's on before you buy it again.
Your Month in One Screen
Pick a month and your monthly wrap-up fills in: every book you finished with its cover, your pages, hours and average rating, your genres and your favourite of the month. Ready to screenshot.
My Library
Every book you own, where it is and who has it. Note the shelf and room, who borrowed a book and when, and see owned, read and unread counts. Search a title or author to check if it's already yours.
Your TBR, in One List You Can Actually Choose From
Every book marked TBR in your Reading List shows up here by itself, so nothing is entered twice. Mark a priority, filter by genre, length or format, and pick what's next. Books you don't own yet go on the wishlist with an estimated cost.
Series Tracker
Every series in order, with how many you own and have read, and the next book to read always in view. Add the series name and number in your Reading List and the tracker fills in.
Reading Calendar
See what you read each month as colour bars from start date to finish, with the books you started and finished. The 12-month Reading Tracker beside it has daily Read and Listened boxes and your days read per month.
See Your Reading as Spines and Covers
Reading Shelves lines up your books as spines, sorted by location, genre, rating or year finished. The Cover Gallery shows every cover from your Reading List: in Google Sheets the covers fill in from the ISBN, and in Excel you paste the cover once.
Purchased
What you spent on books this year, by itself: the date, format and price of every book you bought, your yearly total, the month you spent most, and your spend by format.
Enter a Book Once, Everything Else Fills In
One entry in your Reading List feeds your dashboard, monthly wrap-up, library, TBR and wishlist, series, calendar, shelves and covers. No double entry.
An App Can Wipe Your Library. Your Own File Can't.
Readers have lost years of logged books in one update, hit 20-book limits and couldn't get their data out. A file you own works differently.
Set It Up in Minutes
Add a book, watch the dashboard fill in. The Start Here tab walks you through it in 3 steps: add the books you're reading now, set your lists in Settings, and watch every tab update by itself. No formulas to write.
Printable Reading Journal, Included
4 printable pages for the reader who loves paper: a book review page, a monthly wrap-up page, a TBR list and a series checklist, as a PDF in US Letter and A4.
Your Way. Every Book Remembered. Pay Once.
Excel and Google Sheets, both included. Track your books on your laptop, phone or tablet, and the tracker does the rest.
YOUR WAY
Your own formats, genres, shelves and tags in Settings. Track rereads, DNFs and audiobooks the way you read them.
REMEMBER WHAT YOU READ
Your rating, review, notes and favourite quotes for every book, searchable years later. And every book you already own, a search away.
PAY ONCE, PRIVATE
No subscription, no ads, no account. Your own file that only you see, reusable every year.
