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.
