Readory vs Actually Read

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. Start your reading story today. Note: Readory offers premium subscription options for enhanced capabilities, including creating your own Book Club. Subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store.

Actually Read helps you track your books, protect your reading time, and actually read—whether you’re reading an EPUB, a PDF, or a physical book. • Focus on the book you chose. Start a reading session, set a timer, and use Deep Focus to block the apps, categories, and websites you choose with Screen Time. • See your reading add up. Track books and focus sessions, create custom reading lists, review your reading history, and return to a calm, customizable reading space built around your current book. • Read your way. Import EPUBs and PDFs, discover free public-domain books, search within books, save bookmarks, highlight passages, and pick up where you left off. • Ask better questions with grounded AI. Actually Read uses retrieval-based AI to help you engage with a book, not replace it with an AI digest. Ask about a theme, scene, or passage, get a Story So Far recap, or request a chapter summary when you’re ready. • Stay grounded in the text. Actually Read retrieves relevant passages from your book and uses them as context for each answer. Responses prioritize cited supporting passages you can open directly in the reader and can respect your reading progress to help avoid spoilers. • Keep your content close. Book indexing, embeddings, and retrieval happen on-device. On devices with Apple Intelligence enabled, on-device AI can answer questions without sending your questions or book content to the cloud. • Choose Advanced AI when you want it. Only your question and the relevant excerpts retrieved to answer it are sent to the cloud—never the full book. Actually Read is for reading with more attention, more context, and fewer distractions. Some features require compatible hardware, Apple Intelligence, Screen Time permission, or an internet connection. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
