Beanstack is the gold standard for parents who want to track reading without the privacy nightmares of mainstream social media. It’s a utility app that does exactly what it says on the tin: it tracks books, counts minutes, and hands out digital stickers.

While it won't win any awards for cutting-edge UI design—it can be a bit laggy—it is a functional, safe, and genuinely helpful way to encourage a reading habit. If your local library uses it for their summer reading program, it's a no-brainer. If not, it's still a solid, ad-free alternative to the more 'adult' tracking sites.
