Notion Reading Tracker Widgets
A Notion reading tracker widget counts the books you finish against a goal for the year. Set the goal, write in the book you are reading and the page you are on, and press Finished a book when you close it. The widget shows how many books you have read out of the goal and how far you are through the current one. It is free, needs no account and comes in six styles, so it fits next to a reading list database.

Frequently asked questions
How do I track my reading in Notion?
Copy a reading tracker widget's embed URL, paste it into a Notion page, and select "Create embed". Set a yearly goal, type in your current book, and press Finished a book each time you finish one.
Does it keep a list of the books I have read?
No. It keeps the count, the goal and the book you are on. For a full list with notes and ratings, keep a Notion database under the widget.
Can I change the goal during the year?
Yes. Type a new number at any time. The count of finished books stays as it is.
Where is my progress saved?
In your browser, on that device. Notion does not sync it, so what you enter on your laptop will not appear on your phone.
Is the reading tracker widget free?
Yes. Every style is free to embed with no account. Views are unlimited, and each copy carries a small Widgets For Notion attribution.
