ReadBrew is the privacy-first book tracker for readers who want a clean, beautiful way to log pages, set reading goals, and build streaks — without ads, without data tracking, and without the noise of social features. Your reading life is personal. ReadBrew was built with that belief at its core. Unlike book tracker apps that harvest your data or bury useful features behind confusing paywalls, ReadBrew keeps things simple: track what you read, hit your reading goals, and enjoy a minimal interface that stays out of your way. - Track Your Reading Log pages with quick-add buttons (+5, +10, +20, +50) and watch your progress come to life with visual progress bars. Track multiple books at once and mark each one as Reading, Finished, Want to Read, or DNF. ReadBrew is the page tracker and reading log that fits into how you actually read — fast, flexible, and never in your way. - Set Goals & Build Streaks Set a yearly reading goal and track your progress throughout the year — whether it's a new year reading resolution or a personal reading challenge. Build reading streaks day after day, celebrate milestones with badges and achievements, and take on monthly challenges to keep your reading habit strong. Personalized insights help you understand your reading patterns and stay motivated. - Detailed Stats & Analytics See pages read by day, week, month, year, or all time. Spot your best reading days, track your averages, and compare trends across time periods. Rate books and follow your average rating over time. ReadBrew gives you meaningful reading statistics without overwhelming you — the kind of stats that actually help you build a lasting reading habit. - Organise Your Library Browse your books by status with search and filters. Sort by title, author, recent activity, or date finished. Switch between grid and list views. Create custom collections with emoji icons and colors to organize your book library exactly how you want it. Manage your TBR list, keep your reading history in one place, and find any book in seconds. - Capture Your Thoughts Add notes while reading any book and browse all your notes across your entire library. ReadBrew doubles as your private book journal — capture quotes, reflections, and ideas right alongside the books that inspired them. - Privacy-First, Always Your reading data stays yours. ReadBrew doesn't track your behavior, doesn't sell your information, and doesn't show you ads. We built a private book tracker because we believe what you read is nobody's business but yours. - Pro Features Unlock the full experience with ReadBrew Pro: a reading heatmap to visualize your patterns, shareable weekly and monthly reading wraps, unlimited pinned collections, full reading stats across all time ranges, all themes and customization options, cross-device sync, and search across all notes. - The Goodreads alternative you've been looking for If you want a Goodreads alternative that puts your reading experience first — no social clutter, no data harvesting, just a clean reading tracker that works — ReadBrew is it.

Every book you read, kept for good. Readable is a calm, private place to track what you read and see your reading life measured — page by page, year by year. No noise, no feeds shouting for your attention. Only your books, and what they add up to. Open the app and start straight away — your name, your genres, your favourite books. No account required until you want one, and everything you make comes with you when you do. TRACK EVERY BOOK Log what you're reading, what you've finished, and what's next. Time your reading sessions — real books included, not just ebooks — record your pages, and watch a quiet streak build as you go. Search by title, author or ISBN, or scan a barcode. BRING YOUR LIBRARY WITH YOU Moving from Goodreads or StoryGraph? Import your whole library with a single CSV file and keep your history. SEE YOUR READING, MEASURED A stats screen built like a year in review: books finished, pages read, and reading days as a masthead you'll want to screenshot. Go deeper into your genres, your most-read authors, how your ratings fall, and how your pace changes through the year. EARN YOUR MILESTONES Reading milestones drawn like engravings — earned quietly, kept for good. Yearly challenges and community goals give the habit somewhere to point. KEEP A DIARY Rate on a half-star scale, review every book, keep private notes, and save the lines worth remembering. Look back on a diary of everything you've read. FIND YOUR NEXT BOOK Search that knows the difference between editions and finds the one you meant. Browse by mood when you don't know what's next. Keep a wishlist for the books you want, with buy options from stores you know — Booktopia, Bookshop.org, Barnes & Noble, Amazon and more — matched to your country. BUILD YOUR SHELVES Organise your library your way and keep every format you own — paperback, hardcover, audio, ebook — together on one shelf. A PROFILE BUILT FROM BOOKS Headline your profile with the four books you love most, pin the reviews and lists you're proud of, and follow readers whose taste you trust. READ TOGETHER Book clubs with a room of their own: read the same book in sync, discuss chapter by chapter without spoilers, and finish together. Public, private, or invite-only. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM Verified authors can claim their works, share writing progress, and host read-alongs with their readers. CALM BY DESIGN Independent, ad-free, and quiet on purpose. No feeds engineered to keep you scrolling, and no selling your personal data. When you mark a book private, it leaves every public surface with one switch. MAKE IT YOURS Choose the cover each book wears, pick your theme, and shape the app around your reading. READABLE PRO Readable is free to use. Readable Pro adds the full depth of your stats, your choice of themes, streak freezes, a cloud-synced journal, hosting your own clubs, and more — for readers who want the complete picture. A Pro subscription renews until cancelled; manage it any time in your account settings. Every book you read, kept for good. Terms of Use: https://thereadableapp.com/terms.html
