Read full description

Your reading deserves better than a spreadsheet. Read is the warm, beautiful book tracker built for people who actually read. Track every book, time every session, save every quote, and watch your reading year fill up with covers. Track Every Book Search by title or author, scan an ISBN barcode, or add a book manually. Mark each book as Want to Read, Currently Reading, Finished, or Did Not Finish. Half-star ratings, personal notes, and saved quotes - all in one place. Reading Timer Built-in session timer with wakelock so the screen never sleeps while you read. It keeps time by the clock, so locking your phone mid-chapter doesn't pause it. When you stop, log the pages you read - your book progress, daily reading and streak update automatically. Stats That Tell a Story Year in Books: every cover you finished this year, in one grid. Books, pages, reading time and average rating at a glance, plus your current and best reading streak. Advanced Stats adds a genre breakdown and a books-per-month chart - unlock it free by watching one short video. Reading Goals Set a yearly goal ("Read 24 books in 2026") and track it on a progress ring. A daily ring on Home shows today's reading minutes against a 30-minute goal, right next to your streak. Your Library Filter by status, search by title or author, and sort by date, title, author, rating, or progress. Switch between a grid of covers and a list view. Quote Collector Save your favorite passages with page numbers, shown in serif italic on warm paper-cream cards. Share any quote as text, or let Read surprise you with a random one. Achievements Earn 15 reader badges as you go: First Page, Bookworm, Scholar, Bibliophile, Centurion, Marathon Reader, Speed Reader, 7-Day Streak, 30-Day Streak, Genre Explorer, Critic, Quote Collector, Night Owl, Early Bird, and Goal Crusher. Your Data, Your Files Export your whole library as CSV or JSON whenever you like - it is your data, in a format you can actually open. Privacy First Your library lives on your device. No account, no sign-up, no cloud sync. Read goes online to search for books and load covers, and to show ads. Download Read today and finally treat your reading life with the love it deserves.

Literari is the reading journal that keeps you accountable — one page, one day, one book at a time. Most readers don't have a reading problem. They have a consistency problem. You pick up a book, life gets in the way, and two weeks later you've lost the thread. Literari fixes that. BUILD A READING STREAK Read every day, keep the chain alive. Literari tracks your consecutive days and celebrates milestones so that opening a book stops feeling optional. LOG EVERY PAGE Mark your progress as you go. Capture thoughts, insights, and favourite lines while they're fresh — not weeks later when you've already forgotten them. SET YOUR ANNUAL GOAL Decide how many books you want to read this year. Watch the number climb. There's something quietly satisfying about a goal that's actually within reach. READ WITH FRIENDS See what the people you trust are reading right now. No feeds, no follower counts, no noise — just a nudge that someone you know is 200 pages into something great. Literari is built for readers who are serious about the habit — not the highlight reel. No algorithm. No social pressure. Just you, your books, and a streak worth protecting. This app is subject to Apple's standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
