Readwise Books vs RHT

Readwise Books is invite-only for now. You'll need an invite code from a friend to create an account. (If you're an existing Readwise subscriber, you already have early access.) A reading app unlike any other. Buy, read, and track all your books in one beautiful place. ONE PLACE FOR EVERY BOOK Read the ebooks you buy or upload. Track the rest, whether print, audio, or ebooks from elsewhere. Import your shelves from Goodreads and your Kindle library to start. THE STRAVA OF READING Every page flip is logged automatically, the way a pedometer counts steps. Pages roll up into reading sessions. Sessions roll up into weeks, months, and years. METRICS THAT MATTER Visualize rich reading data like words read, time read, pace, depth, immersion, and more. That which is measured is improved. EVERY BOOK COUNTS Reading on paper? Capture your starting and ending page, then save your session. Highlight print books with your camera. READING, ELEVATED Beautiful typography, light and dark modes, pagination or scroll, and best-in-class highlighting, notes, and tags. READING ALONE IS BETTER, TOGETHER Your sessions post to a light feed where friends can see that you're reading. No likes to chase, nothing to perform. More coffee shop than social network. And only if you want to. LISTEN, TOO Upload any DRM-free EPUB and listen with lifelike voices while the text follows along. READWISE ECOSYSTEM One account across Readwise Books, Reader, and Highlights. Every highlight syncs instantly.

RHT is a reading habit tracker built around one idea: read a little every day, and tap once to log it. That single tap keeps a streak alive, fills in a calendar heatmap, and quietly builds a picture of your reading year. No sessions to start, no timers, no page counts to justify. Track books and manga on one shelf. Search millions of titles from Open Library and AniList, browse by genre when you don't know what's next, and follow progress by pages, chapters, or volumes. Covers, ratings, and descriptions are saved offline for the books you own. Put your streak on the home screen with the Today widget, or your shelf with the Currently Reading widget. Both work in light and dark, and pick up your wallpaper's accent colour. Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no analytics. Your reading log lives in a local database, and you can export it as JSON whenever you like. The only network requests RHT makes are book search, cover images, and app updates. Whether you're rebuilding a reading habit or just want an honest record of it, RHT keeps it to one tap a day. Book data from Open Library. Manga data from AniList.
