Enchanted Reads is a reading tracker bound as a living grimoire. Log every book, arrange your bookcases by hand, write reviews and save quotes — and watch your reading grow into a world of its own. Version 3.0 redraws every screen, and the ? button on 29 of them opens a page guide. A GRIMOIRE FOR EVERY SEASON Fifteen seasonal themes, each with its own living particles, in light and dark. Let the calendar choose, pin the one you love, or switch the particles off. Pop-ups and sheets wear the season too: an ornamental frame over a blurred background. YOUR LIBRARY, THREE WAYS Browse your books as shelves, spines or a grid. Arrange your bookcases by hand, keep track of what you are reading, what is on your TBR, what you finished and what you put down. Add books with the ISBN scanner or by import, and narrow the list by rating, genre, series or trope. EVERY BOOK, EIGHT RIBBONS Each book opens to eight ribbon tabs: annotation, main characters, supporting cast, your review, quotes, tropes, gallery and discussion. Character cards carry portraits, and a relationship map shows who is connected to whom. Rate with stars and a spice level, and keep series and collections in order. SERIES AND COLLECTIONS See how far you are in every series and collection — 3 of 7 read — with your average rating and the community average, when there is one. Filter and sort by rating, and the books you have read are marked inside. ONE SEARCH FOR EVERYTHING Search your books, series, collections, tropes, genres and the catalog at once, and open any result. If you already own a book from the catalog, Open book takes you straight to it. READ WITH A LITTLE MAGIC A reading timer with ambient sounds. A reading fire that keeps your streak warm. A journal with templates and daily quests. On iPhone your session sits on the Lock Screen, and home-screen widgets show your book and your quote of the day. YOUR REALM Every book you finish adds to your Realm World, a small living world that grows with your reading. Find collectibles, place decorations, raise your companion, earn XP, achievements and titles. READ TOGETHER Add friends, join book clubs, start a buddy read, follow the activity feed and take on reading challenges. Report content and block readers whenever you need to; reports stay private. THE ORACLE An AI companion that learns your taste and suggests what to read next. READING REPORTS How much you read, when, and in which genres — as statistics and as cards you can share. ON IPAD AND MAC Books and the book form open as full pages, and layouts are built for landscape. TWELVE LANGUAGES English, Українська, Русский, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Polski, हिन्दी, 中文, 한국어, 日本語. PLANS Start free. Paid plans raise the limits for books, bookcases, AI features and storage. You can delete your account at any time in Settings. Open your grimoire. SUBSCRIPTIONS Enchanted Reads is free to use.
