## What is BookVault?

Your books deserve better than a spreadsheet.

  BookVault turns your reading life into something you can see, track, and fall in love with all over again. Whether you've got 5 books or 500, it finally keeps up with how you actually read.

  READ IT, RIGHT HERE (Premium)
  BookVault isn't just where your books live; it's where you read them. Attach an EPUB or PDF to any title and open it in the built-in reader. Highlight a line and it saves straight to your notes, next to the book it came from. Reading time
  counts toward your streaks and stats, so nothing breaks your momentum. Works with DRM-free books from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, indie publishers, and your own files.

  SCAN IT, SHELVE IT
  Point your camera at any barcode, and BookVault pulls in the cover, author, page count, and genre instantly. Batch scan a whole shelf in one go. You can also search by title, ISBN, or add books manually.

  SMART RECOMMENDATIONS THAT GET YOU
  BookVault learns what you love. Get personalised picks based on your library, your mood, and what you're reading right now. Discover books "Because you enjoyed [Genre]" or "Because you're reading [Title]," recommendations that feel handpicked.

  KNOW YOUR READING HABITS
  Charts show how you read: genres you gravitate toward, your pace, monthly trends, and more. Get a Wrapped-style reading recap every month. See your Book DNA. Understand yourself as a reader.

  STAY MOTIVATED WITH STREAKS
  Build daily reading streaks and earn achievements. Set goals, hit milestones, and watch your consistency grow. The gentle nudge that turns "I should read more" into a real habit.

  CAPTURE WHAT MATTERS
  Snap quotes right from the page with OCR, no more typing out your favourite lines. Keep reading notes, save highlights, and build a personal journal tied to each book. Record voice notes while your thoughts are fresh.

  YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR WAY
  Create custom collections, tag books however you want, and organise your shelves the way your brain works. Track lent and borrowed books so nothing goes missing. Export your entire library anytime.

  READ TOGETHER (Premium)
  Reading is better shared. Invite your partner, family, or book club with a single QR scan, and they get a read-only copy of your books. Your notes, ratings, and progress stay private. Revoke a share anytime, and access is removed instantly. No
  email, no account, no friend lists.

  DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW
  Browse Editor's Picks curated by real readers. Explore categories, follow Book Chains from one great read to the next, or spin the wheel for a surprise.

  AI-POWERED DEEP DIVES (Premium)
  Go beyond the surface with AI-generated book summaries, author deep dives, and reading insights that add depth to every book on your shelf. Ask questions, explore themes, and get more from what you read.

  BUILT FOR PRIVACY
  No social accounts required. No data selling. Your library lives on your device, with optional iCloud backup. When you choose to share, only the books leave, never your notes, ratings, or progress. BookVault is yours and yours alone.

Performance Improvements

### 20260726 — 2026-07-27

1. Shared book summaries now credit the author with a handy hashtag, making it easy to find and follow them on social media.
2. Fixed: BookVault no longer asks you to sign in to your Apple Account while browsing. Signing in is only ever needed when you tap Restore Purchases yourself.
3. Fixed: Book Pulse now keeps going when fresh picks are still being prepared, instead of quietly stopping at the bottom.
4. Fixed: pulling to refresh on Home now picks up newly published Editor's Picks straight away.
5. Fixed: reinstalling BookVault or restoring your phone from a backup no longer disconnects your subscription. The app now finds it and reconnects automatically.

What's New in BookVault

• Book Pulse now greets you on the Home screen — a shelf of fresh picks right under the book you're reading, so new recommendations are never more than a glance away.

• Book Pulse gets personal — your feed now blends picks chosen for your library with our curated selections, plus famous quotes from beloved authors sprinkled through your scroll. A BookVault AI subscription is required.

• Scroll without end — Book Pulse keeps loading fresh recommendations as you near the bottom, with new batches through the day and a friendly "you're all caught up" when you've seen everything.

• A better-looking feed — recommendations missing cover art now wear elegant gradient covers on your Home screen, and broken-image cards are gone from Book Pulse.

• Pull to refresh in Discover now refreshes your Book Pulse feed too.

Thank you for reading with BookVault.

Read your books inside BookVault. EPUB & PDF are now supported

  BookVault is no longer just where you catalogue your books; it's where you read them.

  • Attach an EPUB or PDF softcopy to any book in your library and open it in the new built-in reader.
  • Highlight any passage and save it straight to your notes no copy-pasting, no switching apps. Your quotes live right alongside the book they came from.
  • Time spent reading counts toward your reading streak, so your softcopy sessions keep your momentum going.
  • Works beautifully with DRM-free books from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, indie publishers, and your own files. (DRM-protected books from Amazon, Apple Books, and Kobo can't be opened.)

  Also, in this update

  • Library Sharing is now easy to find; it lives in Settings for everyone. Share your collection with friends and family in a tap; we'll show you the upgrade options right there if you need them.
  • Follow us on Instagram: a new "Follow Us" section in Settings for updates, tips, and book picks.
  • Polish and reliability fixes across the reading and notes experience.

  Happy reading.

INTRODUCING READ TOGETHER

Invite your partner, your family, or your book club into your library with a single QR scan. They get a read-only copy of your books — never your notes, your ratings, or your reading progress. Everything you've built stays yours. Only what you choose to share goes out.

What you can do now:
  • Invite anyone with a QR or short code, no email, no account, no friend lists
  • Add, update, or remove shared books anytime; recipients sync the moment you do
  • Friendly labels for every share so you always know whose library you're looking at
  • Per-book Share/Unshare toggle right from any book's detail page
  • Revoke instantly the second a share ends, access ends

  This is what reading with the people who matter is supposed to feel like.

  Open BookVault → Settings → Library Sharing and bring your people in.
