Read full descriptionHide full description
Plume. is a personal reading companion for people who take their books seriously. Track every book you read or listen to. Save the highlights that matter. See your reading life grow over time. YOUR LIBRARY Organize your books across four shelves - Reading, Finished, Want to Read, and Did Not Finish. Add books by search, ISBN scan, or manual entry. Track start and end dates, ratings, reviews, and reading progress. AUDIOBOOKS Track audiobooks alongside everything else you read. Add duration and narrator, log listening sessions, and watch your progress fill in automatically as you go. FOLLOWING Follow other Plume readers and see what they're reading - no traditional account required, just Sign in with Apple. Share your shelves and collections with a private code, and revoke access anytime. No public feed, no algorithm - just the people you choose to follow. READING SESSIONS Start a timer when you sit down to read or press play - Plume tracks the time, estimates your pace, and keeps a running history of every session, book by book. HIGHLIGHTS Import your Kindle clippings file or Kobo highlights in seconds. Scan a passage from a physical book using your camera. Or type one in manually. Every highlight lives alongside the book it came from. COLLECTIONS Group books your own way - a yearly reading goal, a genre kick, a book club list. Track completion, reorder by hand, and share a collection with one other Plume reader without exposing the rest of your library. STATS & STREAKS Set a daily goal for pages or listening time and track your progress with a monthly calendar view - reading and listening tracked separately, so you can follow whichever one is actually yours. See your total books read, pages turned, time listened, highlights saved, and streaks, all synced across your devices. REFLECTIONS Plume quietly surfaces a highlight you saved - a passage you underlined, a line that stopped you. A small ritual for the serious reader. NOTES Keep freeform notes alongside any book. Thoughts mid-read, questions to return to, things the book made you think about. IMPORT & EXPORT Bring your history over from Goodreads, StoryGraph, or a Reading List export. Take your library with you anytime - export everything as a spreadsheet, no lock-in. PRIVATE & LOCAL FIRST Your library lives on your device. No account required. Optional iCloud sync keeps everything across your devices - nothing is shared, sold, or sent anywhere else.
