## What is Bindery?

Bindery is a reading tracker that stays out of your way.

Scan a book's barcode or search by title, and it's on your shelf.
Log where you got to. That's the whole loop — everything else
builds on those two actions.

WORKS ENTIRELY OFFLINE

Your library lives on your device. There's no account to make,
nothing to sign into, and no server waiting on you. Track books on
a plane, on the tube, anywhere. The only time Bindery reaches the
network is to look up a book you're searching for, and those
lookups are anonymous.

FINDS BOOKS OTHER APPS MISS

Bindery searches Open Library and Google Books together, which
matters for regional editions — Indian printings especially — that
one catalogue alone tends to miss. If a book genuinely isn't in
either, add it by hand and keep going.

SEES YOUR READING CLEARLY

Pages per day, reading streaks, a six-month heatmap, and a year
that fills in as you go. All of it logged automatically as you
update progress: there's no separate diary to keep.

Finish a book and Bindery asks the useful questions — a rating in
half stars, how it felt, how fast it moved. Later, that becomes a
wrap-up worth reading for any period you choose.

YOUR DATA, ACTUALLY YOURS

Export your whole library to CSV whenever you like — a plain file
you can open in a spreadsheet without this app. Import from
Goodreads, StoryGraph, or any CSV export, so moving in takes
seconds rather than an evening. Backups are written automatically
to your device.

No lock-in has to be promised when leaving is this easy.

BINDERY PRO — ONE PAYMENT, YOURS FOREVER

No subscription. Pay once, keep it.

• Reading journal — a day-by-day record of what you read and what
  you took from it
• Highlights and notes — save passages from any book, searchable
  across your whole library
• Unlimited shelves — organise beyond the reading statuses
• Home screen widget — current book, progress and streak at a
  glance
• Four accent palettes — terracotta, indigo, forest or plum

Everything else stays free, permanently: your library, scanning,
search, progress, the timer, streaks, charts, goals, ratings, mood
tags, wrap-ups, share cards, reminders, series tracking, CSV
import and export, and backups.
