Your books, finally home. Şahsiyet is a personal library for people who take reading seriously. No account to create, nobody to follow, nobody following you. Just you and your books. BUILD YOUR SHELF • Scan a barcode and the book is in — title, author and cover arrive on their own • Add anything without a barcode by hand • Author, translator, genre, publisher and page count, all in one place • Keep it ordered: to read, reading, read LOG WHAT YOU READ • Start a reading session and watch the timer on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Mark the page you stopped at • Collect notes, quotes and stray thoughts, tagged however you like • Write down what a book means to you: where it came from, when you read it, who gave it to you SEE WHAT YOU READ • Your genres, your monthly rhythm, your reading pace • The authors and translators you return to • Your reading streak — which days, and how much • Your reader character: the habits your own library reveals ORGANISE • Make collections and group your books the way you think about them • Smart collections fill themselves from a rule you set • Set a goal: books a year, pages a month, minutes a day, or a streak to keep • Notebook mode puts every note you have written in one searchable place ON YOUR HOME SCREEN • Widgets for the book you are reading, your shelf, and your streak PRIVACY IS NOT A FEATURE WE ADDED LATER • No account, no sign-in, no email • No ads, no third-party tracking, no analytics • Your books, notes and reading history stay on your device • Turn on sync and the backup goes to your own iCloud, encrypted with AES-256 — the key stays on your device and we cannot read it • Export your library whenever you want ŞAHSİYET PREMIUM Managing your library is always free. Premium opens the part that reads your reading back to you: • Your yearly reading report — a shareable look at the year you had • Every statistic, and the full reader character analysis • Unlimited collections and goals • Smart collections • An AI-written reader portrait • Premium widgets and the full set of memory cards Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. What it is not: • Not a social network. Nobody sees what you read. • Not a reading challenge to win. • Not built to sell you books. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period; you can cancel any time in your App Store account settings. Lifetime is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

A reading tracker that stays out of the way. Log what you read, see where you are, and get on with the book. ReadCount is deliberately simpler than other trackers: just you, your shelves and your numbers, in a clean, native app. And your library has no limit: every book, every session and every quote is free. SEARCH, SCAN, OR TYPE IT IN Find a book by title or author, or point the camera at its barcode and it's in your library in a second. Millions of titles, so even an obscure edition turns up. Covers arrive automatically, and you can always pick a different one, or use a photo of your own. PROGRESS IN PAGES OR PERCENT Track paper books by page, and ebooks or audiobooks by percent. Drag the dial to where you are and your reading log builds itself. Forgot to log yesterday? Back-date it. Got it wrong? Edit or delete any session, any time. SHELVES THAT ORGANISE THEMSELVES Every author, category, collection, series, format and ownership state is already a shelf. Categories arrive filled in from the book data and stay editable. Arrange the groups, hide the ones you don't want, and pick grid or list per shelf. QUOTES WORTH KEEPING Save the passages you want to remember, and come back to them long after the book is closed. Bring your highlights with you, straight from your ereader, and put a rotating quote on your home screen. WIDGETS What you're reading now, with progress. A quote that changes through the day. A lock-screen dial. And a square for every day you read. READ IT AGAIN Finishing a book doesn't close the book. Start another read-through and it gets its own dates, sessions and dial, while the first stays exactly as you left it. YOUR LIBRARY IS YOURS Export everything, any time, free: one file holding your books, your reading history, every session, your collections, your quotes and all your cover art. Moving from Reading List or Book Tracker? Import straight from their exports. MADE FOR iPHONE, MAC AND APPLE WATCH Clean monochrome typography, light and dark done properly, and a design that gets out of the way. A real native Mac app is included, not sold separately. With Supporter, there's an Apple Watch app too, for logging pages with the Digital Crown. --SUPPORTER-- ReadCount's reading log is free and unlimited: every book, every session, every quote, and your library is always yours to export.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ReadCount at none against Şahsiyet's 3. Şahsiyet's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
