I built this app for my wife after she spent two-years searching for the perfect reading companion. She didn't want a spreadsheet and most apps were either too distracting, lacked detail or felt invasive. This is the space where she now manages her library and we're sharing it here so you can too. Why we love it and we think you will too: Privacy First - This was built for our family so privacy was incredibly important. The app respects your data. Your library is yours, we don't track you, and we don't sell your reading habits. - Syncs across iPad, iPhone and Mac privately using iCloud Detailed Tracking - Finally a place to log DNF, FMC, MMC, themes and even which shelf your book lives on. - Don't like our sub-genres or need to add a location? No problem, it's all customisable in Settings - Sort your TBR into what’s next and what you’ll get to...eventually Easily Add New and Existing Books - Import your existing library from Goodreads and keep details such as bookshelves (called tags in Smart Book Tracker) - Add new books easily using search or manually. - Looking for something beyond your TBR pile? Get personalised suggestions powered by on-device Apple Intelligence based on your top rated books, your least favourite reads, or books you choose yourself.* Track Your Personal Journey and Your Book Math - Set your goals and monitor your stats including pages read, library size and books read. - Ever curious about how much you spend on books vs how much they would retail for? We were so that’s here too. - No feeds, no followers, no pressure. Just a powerful tool for serious readers. Books. Sorted. Ordered. Tracked. Done.
