Ever bought the same book twice? Owned one as both an e-book and a paperback? Stood in front of your shelf, unsure whether you already have it? Or paid full price for a book you could have borrowed for free, legally? (Knowing first saves a lot.) Book Jot started with my own small problem. A while after I began reading e-books, I could no longer remember which app I had bought a book in, or where to open it. Every sale sign got me too, so I was buying faster than I could read, and paperbacks and e-books ended up in one big muddle. I started with a plain spreadsheet, but it felt lifeless (pretty covers really do make a difference). Then a proper database, which was still hard to open on the go, nothing like a phone app you open and there it is. So in the end I built the app for myself. Then I showed it off to friends in a book group. Turns out plenty of them wanted to try it, and plenty had the same problems. So I started building it for real (so for real that I now dream of quitting my job to do it full time~). Many ideas and features come from fellow readers who point me to them, or from scrolling through the problems people share in the group, plus the fun things I want to do with my own pile of books. If you have an idea, I would love to hear it. — BOOK PURCHASE TRACKER — • Record every purchase: price, shop, date and each book on the receipt • See what you spend on books each month and at each shop • Look up when you bought a book and how much it cost • Works for paperbacks and for e-books from Kindle, meb, Naiin, pinto and more — READING LOG — • Your own shelves: want to read, reading, finished • Log pages, reading time and your own reviews • Monthly and yearly reading summaries • Reading receipts to share, and ranking boards for your favourites — A TIDY LIBRARY — • Series in order, so you can see which volume you are missing • Your own collections and groups, private or shared • Note books you lend or borrow, and when they are due back • Scan an ISBN or barcode to add a book in seconds — PHONE AND WEB — • One account, the same library on every device • Open your library on the web too: search it and export it to CSV — FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PLANS — Book Jot is free, and everything you need to track your books stays free.

Notetaker • Wallet: credit cards, PayLater and coin balances in one place. BookJot works out bill dates from your cut-off and due day, splits instalments, and shows what you still owe. Receipts show "Paid 2/3 · next 5 Nov" and get a PAID OFF stamp. If your plan ends, everything stays readable. • Pay one receipt more than one way: card + cash + coins. Coin receipts can keep the store's prices. • Stats › Wallet: how you paid, spend by card, interest, bills by month, coins, and the books you're still paying for. • Loan dates filled for you from the library's usual loan length, plus "+7 days" and "Same as due". • Your own fonts, previewed on your library. ### 1.6.2 — 2026-09-30 • Stats → Wrapup: two new receipts for the month. Monthly Receipt sums up your reading days, time, pages, piles, finished books and spend. Book Activity lists every book you touched, with cover, store and price, grouped by what happened. • Discover: books you read online are tagged อ่านออนไลน์ / Web on their card, so they no longer look like a duplicate of the print edition. • Fixed: a sheet could freeze the screen on iPhone after typing in it and dragging it down. Buttons inside sheets respond more reliably. ### 1.6.1 — 2026-09-30 • Reading and Now reading move onto the book's cover, laid out like an album. Give these screens their own Light or Dark look with the sun/moon button. • Edit a session's start and end times. Fixed: saving an edited session could reset its pages and note. • Series: add the missing volumes to your wishlist or library in one tap. • Filter by where you can get a book: reading apps, e-book libraries, physical libraries and stores, including libraries other members borrowed from. • Book detail shows each store's rating on its card. Characters use their names in the book's language. • Reading dates can be set to today on iPhone. • Settings → Help: tips on Facebook. Supporters find BookJot Web in Settings. • Sheets close more reliably, plus other fixes. ### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-29 • Choose how to support Book Jot: Notetaker now has a yearly option, and the new Archivist plan adds more tools for managing a large library on the web. Compare plans and see your local store price in the app. • Give series and My Groups a new look with covers from the next books you own, stacked behind the first cover (Notetaker and Archivist). • Keep your chosen Library view while filtering. Find books with improved publisher and imprint filters, and put favourite tags first (Notetaker and Archivist). • Your inbox is easier to follow with clearer statuses and read/unread states. • For Free and paid members: when adding a purchase, each item starts with the format suggested by its store; you can still change it. • Fixes and refinements across the Library, book formats and Settings. ### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-24 • Collections are back in the Library, with the number of books on every cover • Your collections remember how you sorted them • Adding books to a collection now opens on your own shelf — 20 at a time, scroll for more, and search the whole catalogue when you need something you don't own yet • Give a collection its own cover picture, on public and private collections alike (Plus) • Your own cover art for a book is now part of Plus — any cover you already made stays, and you can still remove it • Book fairs show up in the calendar, and tapping a poster opens it full size • Stats open on this month, never on a month in the future • Thai book-fair names are no longer cut off in Stats • The update banner opens the What's-new slides for the release • Clearer icons on the book tools sheet • Covers load faster and use less data — your phone keeps them instead of fetching them again every time • Bug fixes and maintenance ## Apps similar to BookJot | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Biblio.ink: 3D Bookshelf](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/biblioink-3d-bookshelf/id6781858648) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Books | | [ADHD Reader - Readloom](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/adhd-reader-readloom/id6768104370) | 5.0 (3) | Free | Books | | [MEBook \| e-book ราคาพิเศษ](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mebook-e-book/id6757589224) | — | Free | Books | | [EveEbook](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/eveebook/id6746397169) | — | Free | Books | | [Hytexts eBook Store](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hytexts-ebook-store/id908903530) | 3.2 (9) | Free | Books | | [booksense: social reading](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/booksense-social-reading/id6449199861) | 4.3 (3) | Free | Books | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
