## What is Book Tracker & Log?

ReadShelf is a private reading tracker built to help you read more — and understand how you read — without ever giving up your data.
  
  Perfect for tracking the books you're reading, building a daily reading habit, timing your sessions, rating and reviewing what you finish,
  spotting patterns over time, and discovering your next great read.

  Your books, your habits — and yours alone.

  Private by design

  No account, no login, no sign-up — just open the app and start
  All your data is stored locally on your device by default
  No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party data collection
  Optional iCloud sync runs through your own private iCloud — never our servers

  Build your library
  
  Organize every book across shelves: Reading, Read, Want to Read and Did Not Finish
  Add a book in seconds — search by title or author, scan its barcode, or look up an ISBN
  Covers, author, page count, genres, series and custom tags, all in one place
  Create your own custom shelves to read your way

  Track your reading
  
  A built-in reading timer logs your minutes and pages, session by session
  See exactly where you are in every book with live progress
  Capture favorite quotes and highlights with page references

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.1 — 2026-07-06

• Now on iPad — including widgets and the reading Live Activity.
  • Pause, resume, or end a reading session from the mini player; ending
    always asks your current page (also when ending from the Live Activity).
  • Add a cover photo (camera or library) when adding a book manually.
  • Retry button when search is unavailable.
  • Fixes: keyboard now dismisses on tap everywhere; on iPad the Save
    button stays above the keyboard and the sheet no longer closes by
    accident; smoother paywall; promo matches your accent color; the
    mini player shows only during an active session.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-02

No release notes.
