BookCard vs Books Pro

BookCard is the private, offline reading tracker that just works. No account. No ads. No 5-book paywall. Your shelf opens instantly and never leaves your phone unless you ask it to. OPENS INSTANTLY. WORKS OFFLINE. Your whole library lives on your device, so it loads in a blink — on a plane, in the subway, anywhere. No loading spinner, no server round-trip, no grey screen. YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY. NO BOOK LIMIT. Track unlimited books free. No cap that forces you to pay after five or ten books. The free tier is the real app, not a demo. SCAN ANY BARCODE. ADD A BOOK IN 2 SECONDS. Point your camera at the back cover and the book lands on your shelf — title, author, cover, page count. Search and manual entry are always there too. HALF-STAR RATINGS. FIRST-CLASS DNF. Rate in half stars (4.5 is a real rating). Did-not-finish is a proper status, not a shame. Log pages, minutes, and notes as you read. STREAKS, YEARLY GOAL, MOOD CHARTS. Beautiful stats: books per month, reading streaks, your most-used moods, and a yearly reading goal with a progress ring. Set it, watch it fill. YOUR SHELF STAYS PRIVATE. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. No sign-in wall, no sponsored posts inside your own shelves, no feed, no social graph. Just your books. OPTIONAL PRO — ONE-TIME UNLOCK. Pay once, keep it forever: real iCloud sync (opt-in, Apple-only), custom shelves, Goodreads + StoryGraph import with merge and dedupe, and shareable BookCards. If your plan ever lapses, your books stay fully readable and exportable. WHAT TO READ NEXT — BASED ON YOUR RATINGS. A quiet, on-device suggestion from your own want-to-read pile. No AI, no cloud, just your data. BookCard is local-first. Your shelf, logging, and stats work fully offline; search and covers need a connection. Sync is opt-in and uses only your private Apple iCloud. Terms of Use (EULA): https://bookcard.uptrail.ai/terms Privacy Policy: https://bookcard.uptrail.ai/privacy

Some books you finish. Others stay with you. Books Pro gives your books—and the thoughts they spark—a place of their own. Read offline, save the lines you love, add your own comments, and turn favorite passages into something worth sharing. YOUR BOOKS. YOUR WAY. Import EPUB books and keep downloaded titles available without an internet connection. Organize your library into collections, arrange your reading order, and pick up where you left off. KEEP MORE THAN THE QUOTE. Highlight a passage, choose its color, or add a personal comment. Browse quotes and comments by book or chapter, share them, and jump back to the passage whenever you want more context. MAKE EVERY PAGE FEEL RIGHT. Choose your page color, font, and text size. Swipe or tap to turn pages. Enjoy a two-page spread on iPad in landscape, or give your library the warmth of a wooden bookshelf. FIND THE WORDS YOU REMEMBER. Search by book title, search inside your current book, or look for a phrase across downloaded books. BUILD YOUR READING HABIT. Track your reading time, celebrate streaks, set challenges, and choose reminders that fit your day. Share your progress with beautifully designed cards—or put favorite quotes on your Home Screen with widgets in three sizes. MORE TO LOVE: • iCloud sync for books, quotes, comments, and reading progress • Reading across iPhone, iPad, and compatible Macs • Light, dark, paper, and glass-inspired themes • Support for 30 languages Read the book.
