About

Readpick

Features
Read full description

You already own the books. You just can't decide which one. Readpick does one thing: it names the single book you should read next, from the books already on your shelf. Two taps — how long you have, how much focus you have left — and it picks one and tells you why it fits right now. It never shows you a list. A list is the problem. WHAT IT DOES - Picks exactly one book from your own shelf - Says in one line why that book fits this moment - Gives you a small first step, so starting feels easy - Keeps your shelf and your picks on this iPhone — no account, no upload WHAT IT DOESN'T DO - No reading logs, no streaks, no reviews, no social feed - Never recommends books to buy. Your pile is long enough - No account, no sign-up PRIVATE BY DESIGN The choosing happens on your iPhone using Apple's on-device intelligence. Your shelf, your reading, and your reasons never leave the device. Book covers and genres are looked up from Apple Books when you add a title — nothing about you is sent with that lookup. READPICK PRO Free gives you one pick a day and an unlimited shelf. Pro removes the daily limit, lets you tune time and focus precisely, and shows how long each book has been waiting. ——— Readpick Pro Monthly: $2.99 · Yearly: $14.99 Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings. Terms of Use: https://qtarou11111.github.io/readpick-web/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://qtarou11111.github.io/readpick-web/privacy.html
