## What is Bram's Reading App?

Bram's Reading App is a toolkit for becoming a serious reader. Build a personal library, ask better questions, and turn notes into a connected system of ideas.

**Core ideas**

• Parallel reading to make connections faster

**What you can do**
• Add books and track progress at a glance
• Capture annotations quickly (including from the Share Sheet)
• Link notes to questions and revisit what matters
• Add characters, events, and settings to your book, along with their relationships
• Find similar annotations across different books
• Run timed reading sessions with a Live Activity timer
• See your reading streaks with an annotation heatmap
• Search books and annotations in one place
• Explore a methodology for reading as a system
• Add widgets for quick capture and selected books

Whether you’re reading one great book or five at once, Bram’s Reading App helps you stay curious, intentional, and consistent.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-03-17

I simplified the app home screen a lot. I also had an activity log for questions and book progress so you can see what days you updated what progress. You can also share images now from the share sheet into your app.

### 1.3 — 2026-03-02

I added a characters settings and events section to the book details so that you can track characters throughout the book as well as their relationships. It accepts images, and you can link annotations as footnotes.

I also added an inbox for annotations that haven't yet been bucketed into questions. 

Finally, I added extra backup logic, so now the app automatically backs up your data and can be manually exported whenever you want as well.

### 1.2 — 2026-02-24

- Question Completion Slider: How Well Did The Book Answer Your Questions
- Poetry View: Make "poems" from annotations
- Export JSON: Export JSON Data
- Share View: Share Your Books with Your Friends
- Annotations now work with links in text
- Go to book page from annotation

### 1.1 — 2026-02-22

- Quiz Mode: Test Your Knowledge of the Questions, Annotations and Books in your Library
- Explore Mode: Visually traverse the connections between Questions, Annotations and Books in your Library
- Book Details Page: Minor Upgrades, Filter moved into Annotations section

### 1.0 — 2026-02-19
