Readory is a beautifully crafted book tracker designed for readers who care about their reading life. Whether you read one book a month or one a week, Readory helps you build lasting reading habits, read together with friends, and capture every thought along the way. • Track Your Reading Journey Add books instantly by scanning barcodes, searching by title, or importing your Goodreads library. Track your reading status — Currently Reading, Want to Read, Finished, or Did Not Finish — and mark Want to Read books as Owned, Wishlist, or Preordered so you always know what's next to pick up. • Read Together — Book Club Start a book club or join one with a 6-letter invite code — joining is always free. Set a reading rhythm, share spoiler-safe notes that unlock as members catch up, and react to what others are reading. Join a live Silent Reading Room to read in comfortable silence alongside your club, see who's reading with you in real time, and rate the book together once everyone finishes. • Immersive Reading Timer Start a reading session with our focused timer. Choose from five ambient sounds — Rain, Fire, Café, Nature, or Library — to create your perfect reading atmosphere. When you're done, log your pages and see your progress update in real time. • Capture Every Thought Create highlights and personal notes as you read. Attach voice recordings to capture ideas hands-free, or photograph memorable pages. Your reading journal grows with every book. • Beautiful Stats & Achievements See your reading life come alive with detailed statistics — books finished, pages read, total reading time, and your best streak. Earn achievements like First Chapter, Flame Keeper, and Night Reader as you reach new milestones. • Live Activity Keep your reading session visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Always know how long you've been reading without opening the app. • Your Library, Always Organized Browse your collection in a beautiful grid view, or arrange it exactly how you like with manual drag-and-reorder. Create custom lists to organize books your way, add your own cover photos, filter by reading status, and search instantly — every book, every detail, right where you need it. • Reading Goals & Streaks Set an annual reading goal and track your progress throughout the year. Build a daily reading streak and stay motivated with milestone notifications that celebrate your consistency. • Goodreads Import Switching from another app? Import your entire Goodreads library in seconds via CSV export. Your books, ratings, and reading status come along for the ride. • Designed With Care Readory features a warm, editorial aesthetic inspired by the joy of physical books. Custom typography, hand-crafted illustrations, and a cream-toned palette create an experience that feels like home for book lovers. • Your Data, Your Reading Life Your personal library — books, notes, highlights, and reading sessions — stays private on your device. Book Club is opt-in and uses a secure server only to sync shared club activity like notes and live sessions. We ask for tracking permission per Apple's guidelines to help measure how our updates perform; you're always free to decline, and the app works exactly the same either way.

About

BookSylo

Features
Read full description

Know the moment your book moves on Amazon. BookSylo watches your book's public Amazon pages and tells you when something meaningful changes — a rating, your rank, the price, or a bestseller badge — so you can stop refreshing and get back to writing. No Amazon login. Ever. BookSylo reads public Amazon information only. It is not connected to KDP, it is not a sales or revenue tracker, and it never asks for your Amazon password. WHAT BOOKSYLO WATCHES • Rating alerts — a new rating lands, or your star average shifts. • Rank movement — store rank plus every category your book is listed in, with thresholds so small noise stays quiet. • Category rank goals — set the Top N you are aiming for and see the goal line on your history graph. • Milestones and badges — an alert when you break into a Top N, and a Best Seller signal in the Top 10. • Price watch — public price changes, alongside every other signal. • Listing health — an alert when Amazon stops listing an edition, and again when it returns. CAMPAIGNS Running a price drop, a newsletter feature, or an ad push? Start a Campaign for that window and see what changed in your book's public Amazon signals while it ran: typical rank before against typical rank during, the best position observed, and whether you reached a Top N you set — per book and per category, with the window marked on your graph. Finish with a result card you can share. Every campaign says plainly what the numbers do and don't show: public observations, not sales, and no proof of what caused a change. ALERTS ON YOUR TERMS • The numbers are in the notification — "now at 48 ratings (+1)", not "something changed". • Per-category control — each category can carry its own threshold, or be muted on its own. • Daily summaries — one digest a day if you would rather not be pinged. • Quiet hours, pause, and snooze. • Activity feed — every rating, rank, price, badge, and milestone moment for a book, in one list. HOME-SCREEN WIDGET One book at a glance — rank, stars, ratings, and price, with when it was last checked. Tap to open it. Choose any title or edition; it is then checked as often as BookSylo checks anything. (Pro) YOUR CATALOG AND ITS HISTORY • Add a book by ASIN, ISBN, or a title search with an optional author hint. • Kindle, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook editions across 22 Amazon marketplaces, from the US and UK to Japan, India, and Brazil. • Rating, rank, and price history as graphs or a table, with your notes marked on the graph. • Private notes and labels — pin a note to the day a promo ran and see it marked on your history. • Your most important books are checked most often; pin up to 3 into the fastest group. • Share a KPI snapshot, an Activity moment, or a finished campaign result — only public metrics, never your labels, notes, or email. PLANS Free — track 1 Amazon ASIN: one edition of one book in one marketplace. Full rating, rank, price, and badge tracking, notification controls, private labels and notes, one campaign at a time, to a shareable result, and 14 days of history. No account required. Pro — required to track 2 or more ASINs. Up to 50 ASINs across books, editions, formats, and marketplaces; multi-select from title search; edition grouping into one Home title card; the home-screen widget; comp title tracking; unlimited campaigns; Check now, once per hour per book and up to 20 a day; and 90 days of history. A 14-day free trial is available where offered. BookSylo Pro is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. It renews until cancelled, and you can cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Available in English, German, and Spanish. Works on iPhone and iPad. BookSylo is an independent product and is not affiliated with Amazon. A title only has data in a marketplace where it is actually listed.
