## What is Leafed?

Leafed is a calm, friendly place to keep track of what you read and listen to.

WHAT LEAFED WON'T DO
- No feed, no followers, no algorithm deciding what you read next
- No ads, ever
- No AI reading your library
- No paywall on your stats
- Not owned by Amazon

What's left is your books, your notes, and the pile you'll get to eventually.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Keep track of what you're reading, what you've finished, and what's waiting on the nightstand
- Open to what matters: what you're reading, what's up next from your Want to Read shelf, and the books you looked at but haven't added yet
- Find any book on your shelves fast: search ignores accents and capitals, matches authors, and takes an ISBN
- Save a line you love by pointing your camera at the page. Leafed turns it into a quote you can keep
- Bring in your Kindle highlights
- Audiobooks count too: mark a book as an audiobook, log where you stopped in hours and minutes, and rate the narration on its own
- Set a goal for the year (books, pages, or hours) and watch it fill up
- Sort books onto shelves that make sense to you, and add your own
- Add a book in seconds by scanning its barcode
- Tap a genre on any book to see what else is in it
- Find your next read: what's trending, browse by genre, the New York Times bestseller lists, and indie books you won't see everywhere else
- See your reading in Insights: pages read, hours listened, genres, favorite authors and narrators, a reading calendar, and your finished books as spines on a shelf
- Read a written recap of your reading year, made on your phone from your own library
- Share a book, a goal, or your year as a card sized for Stories or feeds, saved to Photos or sent anywhere

COMING FROM ANOTHER APP?
Choose the file the other app gave you, and Leafed works out whether it came from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Bookmory, Audible, or Kindle. You see every change before anything is written; you can fill in or update books you already have, and rows that can't be imported come back as a file you can fix. Your shelves, ratings, and dates come with you, and StoryGraph's moods and pace come across too. And you can export everything anytime. Your books are yours, whether you're in or out.

WHERE YOUR BOOKS LIVE IS UP TO YOU
- On your phone only. That's the default; it works fully offline and requires no account.
- iCloud backup, to keep your library safe across your Apple devices, still without an account.
- A free Leafed account, if you'd like your library on every phone and tablet you read on, plus on the web at leafed.app.

WHAT IT COSTS
Nothing. No paywall, no book limit, no subscription. If Leafed earns a spot on your nightstand, there's a tip jar. It unlocks nothing, because you already have the whole app.

### 5/5 — A Rare Gem

*2026-09-03*

Finally, a reading log that doesn’t require me to pay with my personal data. 

Feels like a cozy little reading nook. It’s not trying to sell you anything. It’s not trying to get you hooked. It’s just there to track your books. Truly a breath of fresh air. 

Also I love the barcode to scan a book into your library. Left a tip to support the dev for all their hard work!

**Developer response:** Greatly appreciate the kind feedback and tip! Makes it all worth it. If you ever have any thoughts on new features or feedback, feel free to send them to mike@leafed.app.

### 5/5 — Hallelujah

*2026-01-27*

I have gotten 5 book trackers and this one was the best by FAR. 
1. Some of the other apps didn’t support iPad/Macbook screens- this app does. 
2. I read a lot of really old books and I just couldn’t find a lot of them on the other apps I tried. This app surprisingly found all of them with no problems!
3. Love the clean design and how it has dark mode.
4. NO ADS!! 

Cons:
Doesn’t use accounts for syncing, which some people would be ok with that, but I have a Phone and iPad that I want to use the app on. Luckily you CAN import and export the data within the app between your electronics and it’s pretty simple, you just have to do it manually. 

Something that I would recommend for the app is more organizing options. Like having files within a file. That would be amazing for organizing.

**Developer response:** Hello again! I’ve set up ability to create accounts so you can sync across devices. It will be available on the next release that gets approved by Apple. If you’re still using the app, feel free to check it out.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.40.0 — 2026-10-10

Search dead ends now offer the author, accept an ISBN that isn't listed yet, and catch a pasted list of titles.

Sync saves each change in one step, so a dropped connection never leaves a half-written backup.

The rating ask waits for a real moment, like a finished library import, and stays out of the way otherwise.

### 1.39.0 — 2026-09-29

Lent & Borrowed: mark a book as lent out or borrowed, with who has it and a due date if there is one. Once a book is out, Lent & Borrowed appears under My Books, with anything overdue at the top.

Sort by color: a new Color sort on your shelves and in Browse Library. It looks best in shelf view, where the spines stand side by side. Your sort is remembered, so your shelves open the way you left them.

### 1.38.0 — 2026-09-26

Your Data: back up everything to one file, every book, shelf, note, reading, session and your own cover photos, and restore it later. You choose whether a restore merges into this device or replaces what is here.

Settings: search for any setting from the top of the More tab, and a shorter list underneath. Appearance and Support have their own pages.

Plus fixes.

### 1.37.0 — 2026-09-22

Home is about your books now

Up Next puts your Want to Read shelf on the Home screen, right under what you're reading, so your next book is one tap away.

Recently Viewed keeps the books you looked at but didn't add. That one you meant to come back to is still there.

Trending has moved out of the way. It lives on Explore, with Today, This Week and This Month.

### 1.36.0 — 2026-09-20

Browse a book's genres
Tap any genre on a book, and you land on that subject — what else is in it, who writes it, and where to go next. It works from wherever you opened the book.

Coming from StoryGraph?
The moods and pace you recorded there now arrive with your books instead of being left behind. Re-import, and older books get them too.
