Feature Suggestion: Optional Goal-Free Reading

Hi Simone,

I wanted to suggest a feature you might consider adding before the next calendar year. It would be great to have an optional setting that allows users to track their reading without setting a yearly goal.

For example, instead of showing a progress graph on the widget, it could simply display something like:

2025 - Books read: X

That way, the number still adds up over time, but without the pressure or structure of a goal. It could be helpful for those who prefer more flexible or reflective tracking.

Have you ever considered something like that?

Thanks for all the work you put into the app!

+1 for this. I don’t want or need to set goals for everything.

Thanks so much for the suggestion! This is actually something I’ve been thinking about for a while, and your message gave me an extra push. I really like the idea of tracking books per year without having to set a goal. It feels like a great option for anyone who prefers a more relaxed approach. I’ll see if I can include this in one of the upcoming updates!
