BookCard is the private, offline reading tracker that just works. No account. No ads. No 5-book paywall. Your shelf opens instantly and never leaves your phone unless you ask it to. OPENS INSTANTLY. WORKS OFFLINE. Your whole library lives on your device, so it loads in a blink โ on a plane, in the subway, anywhere. No loading spinner, no server round-trip, no grey screen. YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY. NO BOOK LIMIT. Track unlimited books free. No cap that forces you to pay after five or ten books. The free tier is the real app, not a demo. SCAN ANY BARCODE. ADD A BOOK IN 2 SECONDS. Point your camera at the back cover and the book lands on your shelf โ title, author, cover, page count. Search and manual entry are always there too. HALF-STAR RATINGS. FIRST-CLASS DNF. Rate in half stars (4.5 is a real rating). Did-not-finish is a proper status, not a shame. Log pages, minutes, and notes as you read. STREAKS, YEARLY GOAL, MOOD CHARTS. Beautiful stats: books per month, reading streaks, your most-used moods, and a yearly reading goal with a progress ring. Set it, watch it fill. YOUR SHELF STAYS PRIVATE. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. No sign-in wall, no sponsored posts inside your own shelves, no feed, no social graph. Just your books. OPTIONAL PRO โ ONE-TIME UNLOCK. Pay once, keep it forever: real iCloud sync (opt-in, Apple-only), custom shelves, Goodreads + StoryGraph import with merge and dedupe, and shareable BookCards. If your plan ever lapses, your books stay fully readable and exportable. WHAT TO READ NEXT โ BASED ON YOUR RATINGS. A quiet, on-device suggestion from your own want-to-read pile. No AI, no cloud, just your data. BookCard is local-first. Your shelf, logging, and stats work fully offline; search and covers need a connection. Sync is opt-in and uses only your private Apple iCloud. Terms of Use (EULA): https://bookcard.uptrail.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://bookcard.uptrail.ai/privacy
