A reading tracker built around the reader
Your reading life,
beautifully remembered.
Goodreads starts with the book. RUNU starts with you — the sessions you read, the pace you keep, the lines you want back.
How RUNU works
Four steps that keep turning into each other.
Nothing here is a separate app. One loop — the same books, the same sessions — seen from four angles.
- 01 — READ Pick up the book Your library holds everything: reading, finished, paused, the one you abandoned on page 40. Book Tracker →
- 02 — RECORD Start a session Press start, read, stop. Minutes and pages are captured without you typing a number. Reading Timer →
- 03 — UNDERSTAND See the pattern Sessions become statistics: when you actually read, how long, how fast, what stalls you. Reading Stats →
- 04 — REMEMBER Keep what mattered Margins holds the lines and notes, attached to the page and the evening you read them. Reading Journal →
Goals sit across the whole loop, adjusting to how you actually read — Reading Goals. If you want all four in one screen, start with the Reading Tracker.
Every book becomes part of your story.
The shelf, the stack, the one you never returned — they all end up here.
Your library
Everything you've read.
Everything you're reading.
Eight books or nine hundred. Reading, finished, paused, abandoned — a shelf that looks like yours, not like a database.
Reading sessions
Most trackers record a book. RUNU records the reading.
A session is the unit everything else is built on. Twenty minutes on a Tuesday train, ninety on a Sunday evening — each one carries its book, its pages, its mood. Stack them and you get a pace, a streak, a year that actually happened.

The obelisk is not a thing that can be owned. It is a thing that remembers.
Your note · 12 June
Read the first forty pages twice. Worth it — the structure only makes sense once you know who's telling it.

Not a dashboard. A portrait — stated once, plainly, the way a colophon states the paper it was printed on.

Enough sessions, and patterns start showing up.
Not a dashboard to maintain — observations, in plain sentences, about the reader you already are.
You read longest on Sunday evenings — 74 minutes on average.
From 34 sessions this year
Your November was your densest month yet.
Goals
A goal that answers to your reading, not the calendar.
Because RUNU knows your real pace, it can tell you what finishing actually takes — and adjust when life happens.
