Reading Memory vs BookDiary

A quiet reading journal that keeps every book and how it felt. Open a book again, and the notes you wrote before come back as letters. You read many books, but you forget what was in them and what you felt. When you reread, you wonder what you were thinking the first time. Reading Memory is for that. No social feed, no followers, no public reviews. Just you and the book. PAST NOTES COME BACK AS LETTERS Each book shows the notes you've written as letters, grouped by date. Notes you haven't revisited arrive as letters to read one at a time, and you can add a line from who you are now. Mark how they feel today: "I remember," "This still hits," "I had forgotten," and more. NOTES IN ONE LINE, LIKE A CHAT Capture thoughts, quotes, and impressions as you read, in a chat-like flow. No character limits. Nobody else sees them. MOOD TAGS Eight moods for finished books and notes: moved, excited, thought-provoking, comforting, challenging, bittersweet, fun, and shocking. BOOKSHELF Your books line up by their covers. Grid and list views. Organize books as want to read, reading, finished, or on the pile. BOOK SEARCH & BARCODE Add books by title search or by scanning the barcode. Book data comes from Google Books, openBD, and Rakuten Books. "READ TODAY" FOR EACH BOOK One tap on the book you read today. You can see which book you read on which day, and your streak grows. You can also record it from the Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. WANT-TO-READ LIST Set priorities, planned reading dates, and purchase links for books you want to read. READING CALENDAR & BADGES See the days you read on a calendar, with your streak and finished books.
