## What is Booklight?

Booklight is a private reading journal for remembering what you read.

Every finished book has its number, in the order you read it: a place in your own reading life, not a score to beat.

It is simple in the way a notebook is simple. Nothing to set up, nothing complicated, and nowhere to get lost. A book goes in with a barcode scan or a few letters of its title. A quote goes in with the page you found it on. A finished book takes its number, its dates, your rating and a note in your own words.

It answers the questions a reader actually has. What did I read? When did I read it? What did I think? Which lines did I keep? What was this book about again? How many books did I read this year?

There are no daily streaks to keep, no feeds of posts, no followers or leaderboards; no reminders and no pressure. Nothing to keep up with.

FRIENDS
Friends is a separate, optional layer. Send a book to someone who would love it, with a short note. Let a recommendation find you. Read a book together, or share a small, friendly challenge: encouragement, not competition. Friends see only what you choose to share; a "not now" is never announced to anyone.

SOMEWHERE TO LOOK NEXT
Award and curated lists — the Nobel, the Booker, the Pulitzer, the Andersen and more — are there when you want somewhere calm to start.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
The journal needs no account; Friends is optional and uses Sign in with Apple. The journal lives on your phone and in your own iCloud; we run no server that receives it. Your notes, quotes, set-aside books and reading pace are never shared. No ads, no public feed, no streaks. Exporting your data is always free.

BOOKLIGHT PRO
The journal, every award and curated list, and your first 30 finished books are free. In Friends, inviting, accepting an invitation, receiving recommendations and joining a challenge are free too. Booklight Pro opens the rest: unlimited books and reading list, recommending books, browsing friends' libraries and starting challenges, importing your full reading history, advanced statistics, and special bindings.
Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly both start with a 14-day free trial; Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase. The price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy.
Subscriptions are billed to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store settings at any time.
