# Reading Tracker

The **Reading Tracker** tracks your progress toward a date-based goal for the entire Bible or parts of it.

## List of trackers

Without a tracker, the message reads: **No reading tracker. Use + to create one.**

Each line displays **Goal: {date}**. Create or edit a tracker using **New Tracker** or **Edit Tracker**:

- **Name** (unique among trackers)
- **Color**, including **Custom Color** (**Hue**, **Saturation**, **Brightness**)
- **Start Date** and **Target Date**
- **I’ve met my daily goal when I’ve read…** followed by one of two modes: 
    - **enough to reach my goal by reading every day.** — The **Daily Portion** is what remains to be read, spread out over the days until the **Target Date**. Any lead or lag from a previous day is not made up: each day has its share of what remains.
    - **everything I was supposed to have read up to now (including any behind-schedule or ahead-of-schedule portions).** — The Bible is divided into equal portions between the **Start Date** and the **Target Date**. The “Daily Portion” is the portion scheduled for today, including any sections that are behind schedule or have already been read ahead of schedule. The **Start Date** is required.

**Delete** requires confirmation and removes the tracker and its progress.

## In a tracking list

The tab is titled **Tracking: {name}**. You’ll see the percentage, the books, and the chapters read, broken down into the **Old Testament** and **New Testament**. **Mark as Read** / **Mark as Unread** update your progress. The **Daily Portion** and the number of days ahead or behind follow the mode selected when the tracking was created.
