A return visit counts too. Synced sessions help you see time spent reading rather than time a tab stayed open.

LESS GUESSING. MORE NOTICING.What did your reading
What did your reading
make room for?
Maybe it was a new interest. Maybe the same topic kept drawing you back. Start with a question, then follow the evidence in your own reading.
Your rhythm, day by day
Choose a 7-, 30- or 90-day window. Select a day in the activity calendar to find the reads behind it.
Topics and sources
Explore frequent topic tags and your source count. Select a topic to see the articles connected to it.
Saved is only the beginning
Separate your saved reads from progress and activity. A growing library and a reading habit are different things.
A WINDOW, NOT A SCORECARDYour attention
Your attention
isn’t a competition.
You don’t need a perfect streak to learn something about your reading. Look at a busy week, a quiet month, or a subject you keep returning to.
Minutes describe activity. Topic tags describe content. Neither tells you how much you understood—and neither needs to.

THE DETAILS MATTER
Before you start.
What the product does, where it helps, and what the numbers mean.
What counts as reading time?
The Chrome extension records active time on saved pages while the page is visible and focused. It stops counting after inactivity. Separate visits add up. This is an estimate of activity, not a test of attention or understanding.
Are saved articles counted as finished reads?
No. Insights separates reads saved from active reading time and shows saved, in-progress and read states. Progress is an estimate; saving a link alone does not mean you read it.
Which patterns can I explore?
Choose a 7-, 30- or 90-day window. See reading days, active minutes, source counts and frequent topics. Select a day or topic to explore matching reads. Topic counts can overlap because a read can have more than one topic.
Does this work for books or PDFs?
ReadingTrack focuses on online articles and web content. Some accessible text-based PDFs support extraction, but browser PDF viewers do not reliably support the extension’s reading-time tracking. It is not a book-log or ebook-reader integration.
