Most reading apps track what you've already read. ReadPath decides what you read next. Tell ReadPath what you want reading to change for you — think more clearly at work, lead without burning out, get better with money. Choose how long you want your path to be, and how many books a month you can actually manage. ReadPath builds the plan: real books, in order, each with a line on why that book belongs on your path. YOUR PATH Three, six or twelve months. One, two or three books a month. Every book is checked to exist before it reaches you, with its real cover and page count. You see the book in your hands and the one after it — the rest unlocks as you go. READING SESSIONS Read in timed sessions and log your pages. Save the lines worth keeping as you go: quotes, bookmarks, reflections, and the ideas you want handed back to you later. YOUR WEEK, READ BACK TO YOU Every Sunday, ReadPath looks at everything you captured that week and writes you a review — the one idea your week kept coming back to, the themes running underneath it, your strongest note in your own words, and one thing worth trying next week. BOOK OF THE MONTH On the first of every month, one book is chosen for you alone. It stays covered until you tap to reveal it, and then tells you why this book, and why now. A STREAK WORTH KEEPING One session a day is all it takes. ReadPath counts the days you read and nudges you at the time you chose, on the days you chose. FREE AND PREMIUM Search any book and save it to your shelves, free. Reading sessions, your notes, your AI reading plan, the weekly review, and the Book of the Month are part of ReadPath Premium. Try Premium free for 7 days. SUBSCRIPTION ReadPath Premium is available monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your iPhone's Settings.

A book tracker built around your own bookshelf, with a ginger tabby called Tibby. Scan your shelf, check the matches, and your books land in the order they stand. Then arrange them by hand: lean one, stack a few, leave a gap. Tibby welcomes you and helps you set up your shelf. Add books your way: Scan Your Shelf for a whole row at once, Scan Barcode for one book after another, Search by title, author or ISBN and pick the edition, Say Titles to read out a list, or Type a Book. After a shelf scan you check the matches against your own spines, cut from the photo in the order they stand, then they go straight onto the shelf. Coming from another app? Bring your library over from an export file or a spreadsheet, or share a book's link to Tibby. Pick a scene, or choose the wall, the shelves and the decorations yourself, including your own photos. Keep more than one bookcase, and see your books as a shelf, a list or a grid. Keep track of your reading. Time a reading session in a calm scene made from your shelf's look, with your book under a warm lamp. When you finish, your streak catches, your pages count up and your book fills in on your goal. Or update your page, or tap I Read Today. Set a goal for the next 12 months and keep a streak: one missed day won't break it. A daily reminder comes at the time you choose. In Tibby's Picks, swipe through books Tibby picks for you and save the ones you want to read. The You tab shows your reading by week, month, year and all time: time, pages, books finished, and the books you own against the ones you've read. Each month is a calendar of covers, one for every day you read. Share a picture of your shelf in story, square or wallpaper size, and keep a bookcase on your Home Screen with the widget, in small, medium or large. Tibby works on iPhone and iPad. There's no account to make: your library is saved on your device, and you can export it or save a backup. When you scan a shelf or say titles, an AI service reads the titles from your photo or recording, only if you agree. Your first books go on your shelf before you choose a plan. Full access needs Tibby Pro, a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription. It covers adding more books, arranging the shelf, every look and decoration, more bookcases, importing a library, logging your reading, your goal and saving books from Tibby's Picks. The price and renewal terms show before you buy, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
