Bound vs Restricted Section

Bound is the reading companion designed for book lovers who want to be intentional about their reading life. Start a reading session with one of four beautiful timer styles — ring, analog clock, minimal, or hourglass — and watch your daily goal come to life. Whether you read for 10 minutes or two hours, every session counts. Your Bookshelf, Organized Add books by searching the Open Library catalog or entering them manually. Organize your collection into Currently Reading, Finished, and To Be Read. Switch between grid and list views, sort by title, author, or progress, and track every page. A Journal for Your Thoughts Capture your reflections, favorite passages, and questions as you read. Every journal entry is tied to a book and timestamped, so you can revisit your thoughts long after you turn the last page. Stats That Motivate See your reading streaks, weekly minutes, lifetime stats, and reading insights — like your best reading time of day and your longest session. Set daily and yearly goals to keep yourself on track. Achievements to Unlock Earn milestones as you build your reading habit. From your first session to finishing your tenth book, there's always something to work toward. Cloud Sync & Dark Mode Sign in to sync your library and progress across devices. Enjoy a warm, earthy design in both light and dark themes — built to feel as cozy as your favorite reading spot. Also includes: • Reading reminders to build a consistent habit • Star ratings and reviews for finished books • Data export for your records

Never buy a book you already own. Restricted Section is your personal book catalog for iPhone. Scan the barcode on any book to add it instantly — cover art, author, series, and metadata included. When you're browsing a store or a friend's shelf, scan to check ownership in seconds. SCAN TO ADD Point at any book's barcode. Restricted Section looks it up via Google Books and adds it to your library automatically. No typing required. ENTER ISBN MANUALLY Can't scan the barcode? Type the ISBN directly and get the same instant lookup. CHECK BEFORE YOU BUY A single tap launches the Check scanner. Scan any book for an immediate answer — green checkmark if you own it, red X if you don't. No more duplicates. TRACK YOUR READING Mark books as Unread, Reading, Finished, or Wishlist. Add a 1–5 star rating and personal notes to any book in your collection. BROWSE BY SERIES Group your books by series and see which volumes you have — and which are still missing. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Everything stays on your device. No account. No cloud sync. No analytics. The only network requests the app makes are ISBN lookups to fetch book metadata — nothing personal ever leaves your phone. Restricted Section is free, open source, and built for people who take their bookshelves seriously.
