Nightstand is a reading companion built for people who actually read. Beautiful, private, and habit-forming — without the social feed. TRACK WHAT MATTERS Add any book in seconds. Log reading sessions with time spent and pages read. Track audiobooks the same way. Your library, your data — no one else's. BUILD THE HABIT Daily streaks, session timers, and a dashboard that shows you exactly how your reading has grown. Not to perform for anyone. Just to keep going. A BOOKSHELF WORTH OPENING Four themes. Cover-extracted spine colors. A shelf that actually looks like yours. EARN BADGES, CELEBRATE QUIETLY 48 badges across 10 categories. Reading is worth celebrating — you just don't need an audience for it. SHARE WHEN YOU WANT TO Generate beautiful review cards in story or square format. Share them wherever you like, or keep them to yourself. No social feed. No followers. No noise. Just your books.
