Readerly vs Minerva

You know roughly how much you read. Readerly tells you exactly. Readerly turns your reading history into a clear picture of your reading life: how your pace changes through the year, what you reach for, which authors you return to, when you read most, and how this year compares with every year before it. Save Private Notes & Quotes, too, so the parts of a book you want to remember stay with your reading life. No account. No sign-in. Your library stays on your iPhone. WHY THE NUMBERS HOLD UP A chart is only useful if the number under it is right. Audiobooks are counted in hours. Insight cards show the evidence behind what they say: how many sessions contributed, what window was measured, and whether there is enough data to support the result. If there is not, Readerly says so instead of inventing an average. Your reading data also outranks the catalog. If you are on page 628 of a book a database says has 623 pages, Readerly accepts 628 and offers to correct the book length. Reopen any reading session and change the date, pages or minutes. Start and finish dates are yours to set. Correcting your own reading history is never behind Readerly Pro. WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION • Three free Library choices: Plain, The Book Dragon and A Distant Kingdom • Unlimited books and reading sessions, stored on your device • Private Notes & Quotes • Haptic quarter-star ratings, so a book can be 4¼ instead of being forced to 4 or 4½ • Searchable genres and custom cover images • Log the page you are actually on, not pages-read arithmetic • Live reading pace and projected finish date for every active book • Barcode scanning • Bookstore Mode: continuously scan shelves and instantly see whether a book is already yours or already read • Import from CSV, TSV, XLSX or ZIP • Preview every addition, update and conflict before anything is saved • Readerly reconstructs your reading history from dates in your file, marks estimated dates, and lets you undo the entire import with one tap • Optional AI Import Assistant for messy or unfamiliar exports • Cover and description lookup for books missing metadata • Books Finished, Day Streak, Pages Read and Minutes Read • Two charts on your real numbers: Books Finished by Month and print, digital and audio mix • Explore your reading by year • Share cards as square images or silent 9:16 videos READERLY PRO Readerly Pro turns your log into a deeper view of how you actually read. It also includes thirteen additional Library wallpapers. Unlock deeper charts and insights, including reading momentum, daily rhythm, the hours and weekdays you read, genre currents, per-book reading journeys, genre mix, rating shape, author affinity, completion patterns, length versus rating, a six-axis taste profile, and a deck of the strongest insights your history can support. Choose any month and tap pages or listening bars to see the books behind your totals. Tap a rating, author or genre to see the books behind the number. Share your reading highlights. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your books, sessions, ratings, notes, quotes, dates and progress live in a private database on your iPhone. Book lookup sends only what identifies the book, such as an ISBN or title and author. No ads. No third-party analytics. No tracking. AI IS OPTIONAL Readerly includes two optional AI tools on the import screen, and neither runs unless you ask. It can send titles and authors of uncategorized books to Anthropic's Claude to suggest a genre from Readerly's fixed list, or send your file's column names and limited samples to suggest how they map. Readerly asks first and tells you what will be sent. Readerly Pro is an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription at the price shown before purchase.

Minerva is a reading log you share with your friends. Log the days you read, rate and review the books you finish, and see what your friends thought of the same books. Log your reading - Log pages, minutes, or a percentage in a couple of taps, or just mark that you read today. - Scan a barcode to add a book. - If you read with KOReader on a Kobo or PocketBook, connect it once and Minerva logs your reading days for you. - Put the book you're reading on your home screen with a widget. - Turn on a daily reminder if you want one. Look back - See your year: how many books, pages, and days you read, and your longest streak. - Read a book again and it gets its own entry, with its own dates. - Open an author to see which of their books you've read and how you rated them. - On the 1st of each month, flip through a few cards about the month before, and share any of them as a picture. Friends - Follow people you know and see what they finish and what they think of it. - See which books you and a friend agree on, and which you don't. - Recommend a book to a friend. Book clubs - Start a club, choose books by vote or by turns, and compare ratings when everyone finishes. Import - Bring your history from Goodreads or StoryGraph. Buy a copy - Tap a book's title to find it on Bookshop.org, which supports independent bookstores. Minerva earns a commission. Only readers you let follow you can see your shelf. Nobody else can see your reading log.
