Lamplit is a reading tracker designed for people who love books. Track your reading sessions, organize your library, build streaks, and explore your stats — all in a warm, beautifully themed experience. TRACK YOUR READING Start a timed reading session and see it live on your Dynamic Island. Log pages for physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks. Pause, resume, and review session summaries with pages-per-minute stats. Focus mode with ambient reading sounds helps you stay in the zone — rain, fireplace, coffee shop, forest, ocean, or library. BUILD YOUR LIBRARY Organize books by status — currently reading, want to read, finished, paused, or did not finish. Create custom shelves, track series in order, and import your existing library via CSV. Scan barcodes to add books instantly, or search and enter them manually. STATS & STREAKS See your reading trends with charts: pages per month, genre breakdowns, reading speed over time, and more. Set annual reading goals and track your progress. Build reading streaks and earn achievements along the way. RATE, TAG & DISCOVER Rate books with half-star precision. Add spice ratings, content warnings, tropes, and mood tags. Track point of view, pacing, and genre-specific ratings like fluff, angst, and humor. Use AI-powered vibe search to find books in your library by feel — search "cozy autumn mystery" and get results that match. Or choose Clean & Simple mode and see only the essentials. READ TOGETHER Start a reading session with friends on FaceTime via SharePlay. See each other's progress in real time and keep each other accountable. Or create an async reading group where everyone reads at their own pace. SHARE YOUR HIGHLIGHTS Generate shareable social cards: your Top 4 books, Currently Reading spotlight, Year in Books recap, and Monthly Wrap — ready to share on social media. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from seven handcrafted color themes — Lamplit, Ember, Sage, Bloom, Cobalt, Aurora, and Inkwell — each with light and dark modes. Lamplit looks the way reading feels: warm, inviting, and personal. WIDGETS & SHORTCUTS Home Screen widgets show your current book and goal progress.
