Readmarks vs Booklore

Readmarks is a private reading journal for intentional readers. Not a social network. Not a gamified tracker. Just a calm, focused place to keep your reading life — yours alone. Track the books you're actually reading, not the ones you aspire to. Log your progress in seconds and get back to reading. Save the quotes and thoughts that matter. When a book leaves a mark, Readmarks keeps it. What you get: - A reading journal for your current books — paper, ebook, audiobook, or borrowed - Progress tracking by pages or percentage, no timers, no streaks triggering quilt - Quarter star ratings for books - Quotes tied to the books they came from - Browse your finished books by years and months, with stats - Stopped a book? Move it to its own shelf, guilt-free - Export your entire reading history as CSV — your data, always - Share your daily reading progress with your friends using our beautiful designs - Share finished book stats and month reads - Beautiful widgets to keep an eye on your reading journey - One-time purchase. No subscription. Ever. Adding a book is a small ritual, not a database entry. Choose the format, add your own cover image, set your starting point, and begin. It takes seconds and it makes the difference. Readmarks is built by one indie developer. Your reading life is private and belongs to you. Keep it that way.

Booklore is a private, offline reading tracker that never asks you to sign up and never sends your library anywhere. Searching for a book asks Open Library (or Google Books) for that title, and covers download once and are then kept on your device — everything else stays with you. Just you and your books. TRACK YOUR READING • Search millions of books by title, author, or ISBN — or scan a barcode • Shelve books as Want to Read, Reading, Read, Paused, or Did Not Finish • Update your progress page by page as you go • Rate finished books in half-stars, from ½ to 5 • Tag books with mood and pace for easy rediscovery • Add notes and a review for every book • Capture a quote straight off the page with your camera — read on device • Track rereads — count every time you return to a favorite • Keep physical books, e-books, and audiobooks together A READING TIMER THAT KEEPS YOU IN THE BOOK • Start a session with one tap and see your total reading time per book • Ambient sound while you read — rain, ocean, forest, café, fireplace and more, synthesized on your device, so nothing streams and nothing downloads • A Live Activity keeps the session on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — and stops counting when the session is no longer one, instead of running all night BUILD THE HABIT • A reading calendar that fills in every day you read • Reading streaks and a best-streak record • Set a yearly reading goal and track your pace • A daily reminder that skips the days you have already read — scheduled on your device, no push server, nothing leaves your phone • An optional streak last call, only on evenings when a streak would really end • Start a session hands-free with Siri: "Start reading in Booklore" • Home Screen widget and an Apple Watch app for what you're reading right now YOUR YEAR IN BOOKS • A beautiful, shareable card of your reading year • Books read, pages turned, top genres, and your average rating • Made to share with your bookish friends INSIGHTS • All-time stats: books, pages, reading time, average rating • Your most-read genres and how your year is shaping up • Shuffle a pick from your shelves when you can't choose BRING YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY • Import your existing library from a CSV in seconds • Export everything anytime — your data is always yours • Optional private backup to your own iCloud — no account with us, ever PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your library lives on your device — works fully offline • No account, no sign-up — we operate no server and hold no copy of your library • Your reading is never sold and never used to build a profile of you • Network use is limited to book search and one-time cover downloads — and cover downloads can be switched off Custom shelves and tags, advanced stats, beautiful share cards, and themes are all included. Happy reading.
