Conquest of PagesEvery book you read grows the world
Conquest of Pages is a reading tracker built around a globe. Add a book, log the pages you read, and a small forest takes root in the place where its author was born. Read more from there and the lawn spreads, flowers bloom, and dry riverbeds begin to fill with water.
What you can do
- Track every book — want to read, reading, finished, did not finish. Ratings, notes, tags, start and finish dates, and a page-by-page reading log.
- See where your reading comes from. Each author's birthplace is found automatically, so a shelf of translated fiction becomes a map of the world.
- Watch it grow. Trees, wildflowers and rivers appear as you read — 118 real tree species, 71 flowers and 51 great rivers to discover, each with real facts.
- Raise the wonders of the world. The globe is divided into regions; finish enough books by authors from one and its wonder rises — the Pyramids, Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal and dozens more, with their stories.
- Take on a challenge. Read around the world: a book by an author from every one of 195 countries. The app counts your progress and suggests where to go next.
- Keep your goals. A yearly reading goal with pace tracking, reading streaks, a session timer, and stats — pace over time, a calendar heatmap, genre and region breakdowns.
- Share it. A “year in books” card and a picture of your own globe, drawn on your device.
- Bring your history. Import your Goodreads or StoryGraph library in a minute.
Your library stays yours
There are no accounts. Your library is stored in your own browser, on your own device, and it works without a connection once the app has loaded. Nothing you add is uploaded to a server we run. You can download a backup file at any time and restore it anywhere — see the privacy policy for exactly what does leave your device (mostly searches for book and author information).
How it is made
The globe is drawn in real time in your browser. The coastlines, lakes, rivers and country borders come from Natural Earth (public domain); the trees, flowers and terrain are generated by the program — there are no photographs or stock art in the picture. Book search and covers come from Open Library, authors' birthplaces from Wikidata, and species photos from Wikipedia.
The details of how pages turn into trees are on the how it works page.
