One reading app, no ads, nothing hidden

Track every book as want-to-read, reading, read, or DNF, with unlimited custom shelves.

Goodreads locks you into three clunky default shelves — here shelving is fast, flexible, and never paywalled.

Add books via Google Books/OpenLibrary search, ISBN lookup, or a manual entry form with cover upload.

Fills the gaps other catalogs miss — indie titles, foreign editions, and small-press books included.

Scan a physical book's barcode with your phone camera to add it instantly.

Turns a bookstore trip or a shelf clean-up into a five-second add instead of typing every title by hand.

A single book page merging OpenLibrary and Google Books data — synopsis, editions, similar titles, and buy links.

One page instead of bouncing between three different sites to get the full picture on a book.

Write reviews, give star and sub-category ratings, and keep private notes on any book.

Your reactions live with the book itself, not scattered across a separate notes app.

Log page or percent progress per book, with a small celebration when you finish.

See real progress on what you're reading right now, not just a status label.

Read public-domain books directly in the app, with adjustable font size and light, sepia, or dark reading themes.

Free full books built into your tracker, not just a place to log ones you read elsewhere.

Start and stop a reading timer per book, with ambient background sounds and a session history.

Makes reading time visible and trackable, Pomodoro-style, instead of a vague memory of "a while."

Set a daily minutes-read target with progress shown right on the timer page.

A small, achievable target each day is what actually keeps a reading streak alive.

Set a yearly (or custom) books-to-read goal and track it with a visual counter.

Goodreads' one-shot yearly challenge, but with more shapes than just a single number.

Pair up with a friend to read the same book at the same pace, with both readers' progress shown side by side.

Reading alone is fine, but finishing a book together — and needling each other about who's behind — is better.

A daily featured book pick with a short blurb, refreshed once a day.

A tiny, reliable reason to open the app, even on days you have no time to read.

Charts for genre breakdown, monthly pace, ratings histogram, and a reading calendar with streaks.

See your reading year at a glance instead of it living only in your memory.

Badges and level progress unlocked by reading milestones.

Makes consistent reading feel rewarding, not just quietly virtuous.

An animated, Spotify-Wrapped-style year-in-review of your reading — books, pace, genres, standout moments — shareable as an image.

The single feature people actually want to post about their reading year.

Deeper analytics — pace trends, mood and DNF breakdowns, custom charts — plus Wrapped recaps for any custom date range, not just once a year.

For readers who want the data behind the pretty charts, on their own schedule.

Browse trending and genre-curated books with infinite scroll, sorted by real subject data rather than generic keywords.

Curated discovery instead of a dated "popular shelves" list.

Search across Google Books, OpenLibrary, and community-submitted titles at once, ranked by relevance and filterable by language.

One search bar, multiple catalogs, sorted so the book you actually meant surfaces first.

Chat with an AI book concierge for personalized recommendations, with direct links to find each suggestion.

A few free messages a day — nothing like it exists on Goodreads at all.

No daily cap on AI Librarian chats, plus AI-generated similar-book suggestions and previews.

For readers who lean on the AI librarian daily, not just occasionally.

An auto-generated discussion guide per book — an intro plus ten to twelve escalating, spoiler-tagged questions.

Book clubs never again show up with nothing to talk about, even for obscure titles.

A dedicated page per author with bio, bibliography, and enrichment data pulled from OpenLibrary.

Follow an author's whole body of work from one page instead of hunting book by book.

A live, animated world map showing readers around the globe in real time — pannable and zoomable.

Makes a solitary hobby feel like a global, alive community.

Editorial articles and a browsable library of discussion guides for popular book-club picks.

Ready-made book-club prep material, not just marketing copy.

List books you want to swap or give away with condition and location, and browse nearby listings.

A free, built-in way to trade physical books instead of letting them gather dust.

A map of nearby independent bookstores and book-friendly cafés, searchable by city.

Encourages real bookstore visits — not something an Amazon-owned tracker will ever prioritize.

A feed of what people you follow are reading, rating, and reviewing.

The social layer that always felt half-abandoned elsewhere, built to actually work here.

Public profile pages with shelves, reviews, and stats; follow other readers you like.

See a reader's whole taste at a glance, not just a name on a friends list.

Save, browse, and like favorite quotes, plus curated quotes to discover.

A shareable commonplace book, built into the app you already track books in.

1:1 chat threads with other readers, complete with a conversation list and presence indicators.

Categorized discussion boards with threads, replies, likes, and pinned posts.

A place for book talk that isn't tied to one specific club or book page.

Submit feature requests or bug reports and upvote a public roadmap board.

Readers help decide what gets built next — refreshingly transparent for a reading app.

Turns "we should meet up" into an actual, findable meetup with a pin on a map.

Create polls for club decisions — like picking the next book — with live results.

A shared reading schedule with milestone-gated, spoiler-safe discussion unlocks.

Nobody gets spoiled by chapter-twenty talk before they've read chapter ten.

For clubs that want to formalize a small shared cost without needing the full organizer toolkit.

Run unlimited clubs and events with an analytics dashboard, co-organizer roles, custom club branding, member-request tools, and data export.
