PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Every book you read deserves a dot on the shelf. BookDot is a reading log, TBR shelf and private book journal in one — a quiet place to record what you're reading, what's next, and how far you've come. Add a book, pick its spine colour, and watch your shelf fill up. No feed, no followers, no strangers' star ratings. Just your books. Where other apps feel like social networks, BookDot feels like a well-kept paper diary: warm paper tones, serif type, and ink-and-burgundy spines lined up on a shelf you built one book at a time. WHAT YOU GET • A shelf that fills up book by book — every spine in a colour you chose, sorted from Want to Read to Done • Open any book and know exactly where you stand: page 148 of 320, 172 pages to go • Log tonight's reading in seconds — pages, minutes, mood, a line of thought — and tomorrow's chart shows your rhythm • Your Year in Books, always ready: books finished, pages logged, reading days, and a miniature shelf of everything you completed • Quotes and notes pinned to the exact page they came from — starred, filtered, searchable • Scan the barcode instead of typing the ISBN, plus a gentle daily reminder that never nags about streaks PERFECT FOR • Readers who want a TBR that actually gets shorter, not another social network • Book club members keeping quotes and thoughts ready for the next meeting • Students and slow, careful readers who need page-level progress, not just “finished” • Anyone who wants a year-in-books recap without handing their reading history to a retailer WHY NOT A SOCIAL READING APP? Because your reading diary should not come with a feed. The big platforms are built around reviews, recommendations and ads — your shelf is their product. BookDot has no comments and nothing to scroll; opening it feels like opening your own notebook, which is why you actually keep the log. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything lives on your iPhone. No account to create, no cloud profile, no tracking of what you read. Your whole library — books, sessions, notes and quotes — exports to a clean JSON archive whenever you want it. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) BookDot Pro unlocks unlimited books on your shelf (the starter shelf holds 10) and the full 12-colour spine palette. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Everything you have already logged stays visible and editable even if a subscription ends. Add the book on your nightstand tonight — by Sunday your shelf will have its first spine.
