Readory vs My Pocket Library App

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.

Your books deserve more than a list. My Pocket Library turns your reading into a personal, hand-arranged bookshelf. Add the books you own, place them exactly where you want, photograph their covers and spines, write notes on index cards, track every page, decorate your shelves, and watch your reading carry you across the Earth and out through the universe. BUILD YOUR OWN BOOKCASE Your library begins as an empty bookcase. Every book has its own position. Move it. Leave a gap. Stack it flat. Turn it face-out. ADD A BOOK YOUR WAY - Scan the barcode with your camera. Real book identifiers only, and scanning a book you already own opens it rather than quietly making a second copy. - Type an ISBN, checked before anything is fetched. - Photograph the cover with the document scanner, then crop it. A guided camera does the same for spines. - Enter everything by hand. Google Books and Open Library are both consulted and their answers combined: title, author, pages, publisher, year, description, subjects and cover art. Nothing is added until you press Place on Shelf. CHOOSE THE COVER THAT MATCHES YOUR BOOK Every candidate cover is tested before it is offered, and your own photograph is always an option. OPTIONAL AI COVER READING Cover recognition starts on your device. If it cannot settle the book, you may press Ask AI to Read the Cover. Only then is the image sent for AI-assisted reading, and the result is checked against the catalogues before being offered to you. MAKE EVERY BOOK LOOK LIKE YOUR BOOK Photograph the cover, spine and back. Your spine photograph can appear on the shelf itself, or design the spine yourself: label, thickness, height, colour and binding style. TRACK WHAT YOU ARE READING Reading, Completed, Want to Read, On Hold or DNF, with progress by page. Rate books out of five and mark favourites. Write notes styled as ruled index cards, each with an optional page number and date. DECORATE YOUR LIBRARY Hundreds of illustrated objects, from plants, lights and art to curios, book nooks, music and travel pieces, placed wherever you like. Choose the bookcase wood, the room frame, shelf backgrounds, lighting and fairy lights, shelf labels and your default binding. Rename and reorder shelves, and invent your own categories. SEASONS AT WINTERLIGHT Around Christmas the library dresses for the season: snow on the shelves, frost on the frame, a countdown to a gift on Christmas Day and a best-library contest. Turn the Christmas look off in Profile at any time. YOUR TOP SHELF ON THE HOME SCREEN Add the widget and your first shelf, photographs included, sits on the home screen. FIND ANYTHING Search by title, author or shelf. Filter by status or shelf. Sort by shelf order, date added, title, author, progress or rating, without losing the layout you arranged by hand. WISHLIST, STATS AND READING LOG Want to Read books collect in your Wishlist. Stats show books finished, reading now, pages read, average rating, favourites and your shelf mix. The Reading Log keeps a dated timeline. THE ATLAS Pages you finish become distance. Your journey begins around the Earth and continues into space, past the Moon and the planets and on toward the edge of the observable universe. New drives unlock as distances grow, and milestones earn badges in a Mission Log. Start from your own location, or choose a city. WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS EVERYWHERE Add books, move things and write notes with no connection; everything syncs when you return. Sign in on another device and your library is there. The app speaks more than 30 languages; choose yours in Profile. FREE AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN Free to use, with no purchases. No public feed, no messaging, no advertising. Measurement and notifications run only if you allow them, and you can change your mind any time in Profile. Camera, photos and location are asked for only when needed.
