Year in Review: your listening stats in Yomite

Yomite's Year-in-Review dashboard turns a year of listening into shareable stats, earned badges, and real motivation to keep going. Here's how to use it.

Yomite’s Year in Review records your listening on your device and turns a year of it into one dashboard. Open the Listening tab and tap Your year in review any time to see total listening hours, completed works, your top voices, your streak and earned badges, then share it as an image card.

You listened to novels on your commute. You finished a chapter before bed. You put on a story while cooking dinner.

But do you actually know how much you read this year?

Yomite’s Year-in-Review dashboard answers that question — and then some. Think of it as your personal reading statistics app: a Spotify Wrapped moment for your ears, built right into the app, powered entirely by your device.

What does the dashboard show?

No accounts to create. No data uploaded. The stats are tallied on your device and never uploaded, so every number the dashboard surfaces is yours alone.

Here’s what the dashboard reveals:

Total listening hours — your cumulative time spent listening this year
Books and articles completed — every work you listened through to the end
Your top voices — the characters who narrated your year, ranked by hours
Listening streak — how many consecutive days you kept the habit alive
Peak listening window — morning commuter? night-owl reader? the data knows
Earned badges — milestones like “100-Hour Listener,” “Monthly Finisher,” and more

The stats are computed on your device. No telemetry, no analytics SDK, no cloud processing. The stats are yours.

How do I open it?

Open Yomite and tap the Listening tab at the bottom
Tap Your year in review
Come back any time to see this year’s record

What can the numbers tell me?

The total-hours surprise

The first reaction most people have is: “I listened to that much?”

A 30-minute commute each way. An hour of dishes. Twenty minutes before sleep. Individually, none of these feel like serious reading time. But the Year-in-Review adds them up. For many consistent Yomite users, the annual total runs well into the dozens of hours — equivalent to multiple full audiobooks, all from material you chose yourself.

That number is the dashboard’s most powerful moment.

Discovering your “main character” voice

Yomite ships with 315+ Japanese voices. The dashboard ranks each voice by the hours you spent listening with them.

You might discover you gravitated toward the cool, clear delivery of 凛音エル (Rinne El) for light novels. Or the deep, composed baritone of 阿井田茂 (Aida Shigeru) — available in 7 emotional styles — for literary fiction. Or the gentle, whispered intimacy of 天深シノ (Amane Shino) for late-night reading.

Seeing the ranking often reveals listening patterns you hadn’t consciously noticed: “I use まお (6 styles) for slice-of-life, らせつん (8 styles) for everything with action, and みちのくあいり (7 styles) when I want something warm.”

That’s your reading personality, expressed in voice data.

Each badge in the dashboard marks a real moment. “First Completion.” “50-Hour Club.” “Late Night Listener” (triggered by consistent listening after 11 p.m.). These aren’t arbitrary gamification — they’re anchors to specific stretches of your year.

The 100-hour badge, in particular, tends to arrive as a genuine surprise. You didn’t set out to listen for 100 hours. You just kept showing up.

Tap the share button on the dashboard and Yomite exports your Year-in-Review as an image card — clean, visual, ready for social media, a notes app, or a message to a reading friend.

A post reading “I listened to X hours of Japanese novels this year with Yomite” consistently generates curious replies from people who didn’t know listening to web novels on a commute was even possible. The share card includes a link to the App Store, so curious readers can download the app directly.

It is the kind of shareable that works because it is genuinely personal.

How can I use it to plan next year?

Year-in-Review is not just retrospective. It’s a planning tool.

Practical ways to use your listening data:

Find the quiet months — a gap in your streak often maps to a life event (a move, a busy stretch at work). Knowing this helps you design a more resilient habit next year.
Double down on your peak window — if your data shows you listen most consistently between 7–8 a.m., protect that slot.
Finish what you started — the dashboard surfaces incomplete works. Pick one and carry it into the new year.
Try a voice you avoided — if れな (5 styles) or コハク (4 styles) never made your top list, give them a deliberate shot. Voice preference shifts as you read different genres.

Data makes improvement possible. Listening habits are no different.

Can I check it before December?

Despite the name, the statistics dashboard is available any time. Monthly and weekly summaries let you track momentum as it builds — not just at year-end.

Watching your all-time hour count approach a round number (100, 500, 1,000) and then opening the dashboard to confirm you crossed it: that’s a small, legitimate win. The kind that makes you reach for the next chapter.

How is this different from a reading log app?

Most reading-tracking apps require manual input. Search for the book. Enter your page number. Rate it. Log the date. That friction is exactly why many people abandon them.

Yomite’s statistics require nothing extra. Listening is the input. Every second of playback is automatically counted. If you listened, it’s recorded. If you didn’t, nothing is fabricated.

And because the stats are tallied on your device and never uploaded, the record belongs to you — not a server somewhere. Share it when you want to. Keep it private when you don’t.
