## What is Booklore?

Every book you read, one tap away. Booklore is a reading log for people who would rather be reading: add a book, log your page, close the app. No sign-up stands between you and your first book, and your library lives on your phone.

On the shelf
• Find books by title, author or ISBN, or scan the barcode on the back cover
• Shelves for Reading, Want to Read, Read, Paused and Did Not Finish, plus your own shelves and tags
• Rate in quarter stars, from ¼ to 5, and tag a book's mood and pace
• Print books, e-books and audiobooks side by side, with rereads counted
• See a shelf as spines, each book in its own colors
• Series in order, with the next book to read
• Can't choose? Pick my next read deals your Want to Read shelf one book at a time
• Lent a book? Note who has it and when it's due, with a reminder that day

At the page
• Log progress with one tap (¼, ½, ¾, Finished) or type the exact page
• Reading an e-book or listening to an audiobook? Enter the percentage your reader or player shows
• See how much reading time is left in a book, at your own measured pace
• Time a session and add ambient sound: rain, ocean, forest, café, fireplace and more, generated on your device
• A Live Activity keeps the running session on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• Write notes and a review, and keep a library of quotes: type them or scan them off the page with your camera, then share one as an image

Over the year
• A reading calendar that fills in every day you read
• Streaks with a best-streak record, and a yearly goal that paces you from the day you set it
• Goals for books and pages each month and for reading minutes each day or week, with a reminder at your reading time
• A daily reminder that skips the days you already read, scheduled on your device
• Home Screen widget, Apple Watch app and Siri ("Start reading in Booklore")
• Your Reading Year and monthly wrap-up cards to share, plus all-time stats

Your library, your phone
• Bring your library over from a CSV export and export everything whenever you like
• Optional backup to your own iCloud
• Book search and one-time cover downloads are the only network use, and cover downloads can be switched off
• Your reading is never sold or used to build a profile of you

Happy reading.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.15 — 2026-11-12

The redesigned Booklore.

Your shelf, spine by spine: in the Library, tap “Spines” and your books stand on a shelf in their own colors.

Keep the lines you love: add a quote in a book’s page or scan it off the page, find every quote under “Quotes”, and share one as an image in the “Paper”, “Night” or “Cover” style.

Can’t choose? “Pick next” deals your Want to Read shelf one book at a time, with filters for mood, pace and length. “Series” shows each series in order, with the next book to read.

New “Goals”: books each month, pages each month or year, and reading minutes each day, week or month, plus an optional reminder at your reading time. Lent or borrowed a book? Note in its page who has it and when it’s due, and get a reminder that day.

Ratings now take quarter stars: drag along the stars for 3.75 or 4.25, and a CSV import keeps quarter stars exactly.

Booklore now speaks Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Italian. It follows your iPhone’s language, or choose “Español”, “Français”, “Português (Brasil)” or “Italiano” in “Settings” › “Language”.

In “Stats”, “This month” and “Your Reading Year” now show their numbers as text above the share card, so they follow your text size and VoiceOver reads them.

Safer with your data: in a book’s page, “Retry” after a failed save can no longer remove the book. If “Undo import” can’t be saved, your books stay and you can try it again. A backup file is checked before it can replace your library, and a damaged one is refused whole.

A Booklore CSV export now keeps series, shelves and several authors exactly, and a large library imports back in full. A daily reminder you turn off now stays off.

### 1.13 — 2026-11-03

Searching your Library for a book that sits on another shelf? Booklore now lists it under “Not on this shelf. In your library:”, so you can open it instead of adding it twice.

Safer iCloud backup on a new iPhone: with “Back up to my iCloud” on, automatic backup now waits until Booklore has checked the backup already in your iCloud. If that backup has books or reading history this iPhone doesn’t, backup stays paused until you choose: “Restore from iCloud” keeps them, or you replace the backup on purpose. A new or empty library no longer overwrites it.

If moving, shelving or removing several selected books can’t be saved, your selection stays and Retry tries again. Tapped “＋ Read again” by mistake? Undo restores your previous count and finish date.

First-run setup now has a Back button from its second step. When a reading session can’t be saved, VoiceOver tells you which field needs fixing. In Settings, Rate Booklore, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use now say where they open.

Accessibility and dark mode: VoiceOver reads the Settings switches as on or off, focus stays with you when the book page or Library changes in place, the Calendar no longer reads out empty days from the months before and after, and the tick on books already on your shelf and the accent swatches are easy to see in dark mode.

### 1.12 — 2026-10-26

A cleaner Booklore: Library, the book page, Stats and Settings are redesigned, with clearer VoiceOver labels and better Reduce Motion support.

On iOS 17, the Home Screen widget logs a page (or ten on the medium size) and starts or stops your reading timer with a tap. The timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island now has a Stop button.

Ask Siri or use the Shortcuts app to log pages, start or stop the reading timer, or check your current book.

Find any book in your library by title, author or ISBN, even offline. Forgot the timer? Add a session or fix one on the book page, and finishing a book now stops its timer.

Found a book in search? Log my page sits right below it. Scanned an ISBN barcode Booklore couldn't find? Type the title, author and page count, and Booklore keeps the ISBN with the book.

Set the dates you started and finished a book, share a book you just finished straight from it, and post your Reading Year or monthly wrap-up in a full-screen Story size.

Booklore now also speaks German, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. It follows your iPhone's language, or you can pick one in Settings.

Switching apps? Import the CSV export from your old book app with each book's authors, rating, reading status and read dates. Titles in non-Latin scripts no longer merge by mistake, you can see every skipped duplicate, and undo also restores details the import changed.

Also new: a short What's new card on your Library after an update, and a Share Booklore row in Settings for passing the app on to a reading friend.

Fixes: the reading-reminder offer now counts days you only logged pages, reminders follow the 4am reading day, and CSV export and import keep your reading days and exact read dates.

### 1.11.1 — 2026-10-12

Reading an e-book or listening to an audiobook? You can now log progress as a percentage, the same number your e-reader or audiobook player shows. Booklore turns it into the right page, so your stats, streaks and time-left estimate stay accurate.

Also new: a Rate Booklore row in Settings, for whenever you feel like telling other readers what you think.

### 1.10 — 2026-09-26

Know when you will finish. Open any book you are reading and Booklore now shows how much time is left at YOUR measured pace on that book — not a generic average, and never a guess: the estimate simply stays hidden until your own reading history is long enough to trust.

Book covers got real depth, with 3D page edges and layered shadows, and finishing a book is now properly celebrated.

Fixes: sharing a card twice in a row no longer misfires, the barcode scanner and quote capture no longer double-trigger on a fast tap, the Live Activity now clears correctly when you delete a book and resumes on the right entry, and backup/restore handles a cleared cover cache without losing data.
