## What is Deckle?

Meet Deckle, the beautifully designed reading tracker and personal library built for book lovers who want more out of their reading. Whether you are trying to read more this year, organizing a massive physical library, or just want to see your reading stats, Deckle is the only app you need.

BUILD YOUR LIBRARY INSTANTLY
Quickly add physical books to your digital shelves using our lightning-fast barcode scanner, or search millions of titles manually.

BEAUTIFUL, SMART ORGANIZATION
Ditch the messy lists. Organize your collection using custom shelves, filter by reading status, and keep track of your "Up Next" queue and Wishlist.

UNLOCK YOUR TROPHY ROOM
Augment your reading into a rewarding game. Unlock beautifully designed trophies and achievements as you log pages, finish books, and maintain your reading streak.

DEEP READING INSIGHTS
Get to know your reading habits. Deckle tracks your reading velocity (your personal "Speedometer") and helps you estimate exactly how long it will take to finish your current read.

INCREDIBLE CUSTOMIZATION & PRIVACY
Make the app yours. Choose from custom app themes (including true OLED dark modes) and lock your private library behind Face ID / Touch ID for ultimate peace of mind.

Say goodbye to clunky, outdated reading logs. Download Deckle and fall in love with reading all over again.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-08-17

Sort your library, however suits you.

You can now sort by title, author, date added, or your own rating — A to Z
or Z to A, newest or oldest first. Tap the sort button at the top of the
Library tab. Your choice is remembered, and the shelves on your dashboard
follow the same order.

This one came straight from a review asking to alphabetize. Thank you Lizjae —
please keep the suggestions coming.

ALSO NEW
• Photograph your own cover while you're adding a book, not just afterwards.
• Back up your whole library to a CSV file, and import it back again — handy
  for moving in from another reading app, or just keeping a copy somewhere safe.

FIXED
• The weekly reading chart now counts the pages you actually read each day,
  rather than the page number you'd reached. If your numbers look smaller
  than before, they're finally telling the truth.
• Progress bars no longer overrun when you correct a book's page count.
• Scanning a barcode we can't find now says so, and points you to adding
  the book by hand.
• Search results no longer get overwritten by older ones on a slow connection.
• With the app lock turned on, your library is hidden in the app switcher.
• Unlocking several trophies at once now shows all of them, not just the last.
• You can set a book's progress back to zero to start it fresh.
• Adding a book manually warns you if it's already on your shelves.
• Cover photos are stored more efficiently, so the library scrolls smoother.

### 1.1 — 2026-07-17

Fixed issue where Google Books API would fail to return a search query (implemented exponential backoff for transient Google Books API failures).

### 1.0 — 2026-05-26

No release notes.
