BookBound is a reading tracker for people who love books. Keep your entire reading life in one calm, beautifully designed app — from the titles on your wish list to the page you finished last night. THREE SMART SHELVES Sort every book into Want to Read, Reading, and Finished. Moving a book between shelves is a single tap, and BookBound records the dates you start and finish each title so your reading history builds itself. PAGE-BY-PAGE PROGRESS Log your current page whenever you pick up a book. A visual progress bar shows exactly how far you've come, and BookBound automatically moves a book to Finished the moment you reach the last page. SET AND CRUSH YOUR READING GOAL Choose a yearly reading goal and track your pace all year. Your stats dashboard shows books read, books in progress, and how your year is shaping up — so every finish feels like a milestone. RATE, REVIEW & REFLECT Give every book a star rating and write a personal review you can revisit anytime. Your reviews stay with you, building a private journal of everything you've read. DISCOVER MILLIONS OF BOOKS Search the full Google Books catalog right inside the app. Browse cover art, read descriptions, check page counts, and add any title to your shelves in seconds. KNOW YOUR READING TASTE Take a quick taste quiz and BookBound builds a personal reading profile from the genres you love — a simple way to decide what to read next. BEAUTIFUL LITERARY DESIGN Warm serif typography, a burgundy-and-cream palette, and carefully considered spacing give BookBound the feeling of a well-typeset book. TRUE DARK MODE Every screen adapts to your system appearance, with a genuine dark theme that's easy on the eyes at any hour. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type scaling, and clear navigation make BookBound comfortable for every reader.
