## What is Reading Memory?

Make reading a daily habit, and remember the books you've read. Reading Memory keeps every book you read and every line you write, one book at a time, on your own bookshelf.

You want to read more, but it never sticks.
You finish a book, then can't recall what was in it.
The books you bought sit on a pile, unread.
Reading Memory is made for that.

MAKE READING A DAILY HABIT
On days you read, tap "Read today" once. Even a day with one page counts. Your reading days fill a calendar, and your streak and the number of books you finished this year go up. You can also tap from Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU READ
Notes you write while reading show up on your bookshelf a few days later, with how long ago you wrote them ("written 72 days ago"). Read them again and add a line right there. When you reread a book, the notes from your last read are on that book's page.

FINISH YOUR TO-READ PILE, ONE BOOK AT A TIME
Books you own but haven't started sit in a pile at the bottom of your bookshelf. Tap the pile to start the top book. When you finish one, the app picks the next book from your pile.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No social feed, no followers, no public reviews. Only you can read what you write.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

◆ Bookshelf
Finished books stand on a shelf for each year. Books you're reading lie face up, and books you haven't started are stacked. You can also add the books you've already read, one after another.

◆ Add books
Search by title or scan the barcode. Book data comes from Google Books, Open Library, openBD, and Rakuten Books. There is no limit on how many books you can add.

◆ Sticky notes for novels
Write about characters, lines you loved, and how you felt on sticky notes, and stick them at the page you're on. Move the bookmark to record your page and "Read today".

◆ A notebook for nonfiction
Write the book's words and your own thoughts with page numbers. Snap a page to read its text and add the lines you pick as the book's words. Vertical Japanese text works too. Export your notebook as text.

◆ A reading card when you finish
Give stars, write one line, and stamp the card. It goes into that year's card box. Save or send the card as an image.

◆ Reading log and badges
See your reading days on a calendar, your streak, and how many books you finished. Earn badges at milestones.

◆ Want-to-read list
Note who recommended a book or where you saw it.

◆ iPad
Works on iPad, in portrait, landscape, and Split View.

### 5/5 — 使いやすくて続けやすい

*2026-01-05*

読書習慣を身に付けたくて読書記録アプリを探していました。
「この本を今日も読んだ」のチェックが本ごとにできるところが好きです。
チェックを忘れてしまうと後から修正できないので忘れずにアプリ開くように気をつけるのが習慣化に役立っています。
どの本を読んだのか表紙が並んで見えるので記憶がたどりやすく、メモも自由にいつでも書けて使いやすいです。

**Developer response:** 読書メモリーを使っていただき、ありがとうございます。本ごとに「今日も読んだ」をつけられるところや、表紙が並んで記憶をたどれるところを、まさに大事にしてきた部分なので、そう言っていただけてとてもうれしいです。後から直せない作りが習慣づくりに役立っているというお話も、作り手として励みになりました。これからも、読んだ時間を思い出せる場所であり続けられるよう、丁寧に育てていきます。

NEW: "Dialogues with this book" section
A new section on each book's detail page, where your past notes appear as letters stacked over time. When you come back to the same book, you quietly meet the self who wrote those pages. No counter labels — only the whitespace between letters and the date on each one speaks to how time has passed.
