Clay Read vs BookWorm

For many, a reading library is split between physical bookshelves and digital devices. This keeps your books, notes, and progress fragmented and hard to manage. Clay Read bridges this gap. It's a single, organized app for your entire library, designed to help you track what you read and remember what you learn, no matter the format. Key Features: Unify Your Entire Library Quickly add your physical books by scanning their covers. For your ebooks, simply import them to see your full collection in one organized place. Capture Highlights, No Typing Required Use your camera to scan a page from a physical book. Clay Read's reliable OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology accurately converts your highlights and notes into editable text. You can also connect your accounts to sync highlights from your ebooks automatically. Track Your Reading Progress Manage your library with custom shelves like 'Currently Reading,' 'To-Read,' and 'Finished.' Track your progress by page number for physical books or by percentage for ebooks, so you always know where you left off. Create and Share Quote Cards Turn your favorite saved passages into clean, elegant cards. Customize the design and share your reading insights with friends, colleagues, or on social media. Save Snapshots of Pages For content that isn't just text—like illustrations, charts, or maps—you can save a high-quality photo of the page directly within the app, linked to the correct book. Syncs Reliably Across Your Devices Who It's For: Avid Readers: Who want a single place to catalog their entire collection and easily revisit favorite passages. Students & Researchers: Who need to efficiently consolidate notes and citations from both physical textbooks and digital files. Book Club Members: Who want an easy way to share and discuss specific quotes from what they're reading. Clay Read doesn't try to replace your books—it works with them. It's the organized, digital companion your library deserves. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://clayread.com/privacy

Physical books and ebooks by page, audiobooks by hours and minutes. • One daily goal for all of it. Pages and listening time count toward the same target. • Reading streaks, so there is a reason to open a book today. • A calendar that fills in as you read, until your year tells a story. • Real stats: books finished, pages read, hours listened, days read, and your best streak ever. • Your most read genres and a format breakdown, so you learn how you actually read. EFFORTLESS BY DESIGN • Add a book in seconds. Search by title, or scan its barcode with your camera. • Covers, page counts and audiobook length estimates are filled in for you. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what you are reading at a glance. • iCloud sync keeps your library on every iPhone you own, in your own private iCloud. • Nine languages, switchable instantly with no restart. • Re-read a favourite and BookWorm keeps the earlier read in your history. • Finished a book months ago? Add it with its dates and your calendar fills in behind you. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING Saving your progress turns a page. Buttons click, switches flip, and finishing a book has a small celebration you can feel in your hand. And because so many readers here are listening rather than turning pages, BookWorm's sounds can never duck or interrupt your audiobook. Sound and haptics each have their own switch. MAKE IT YOURS Four looks, one tap apart. System follows your phone. Light is warm and creamy. Dark is easy on the eyes at night. And Retro dresses the whole app in a 70s sunset palette of teal, mustard and burnt orange, with chunky outlines and monospaced type. Add your own genres, set the goal that suits your week, and pick the look you like. YOURS, AND PRIVATE Your library lives on your device and in your own iCloud, where the developer cannot read it. There is no account, no sign up, no email address. BookWorm collects a small amount of pseudonymous usage data to fix problems and decide what to build next, never your book titles, your name, or what you type into search. FREE, WITH A TIP JAR IF YOU LIKE IT Every feature is free. No paywall, no locked screens, no subscription, no ads. If BookWorm earns its place on your Home Screen, an optional tip supports one independent developer. That is the whole business model. Start your next chapter today.
