Book Tracker & Log: ReadShelf

ReadShelf is a private reading tracker built to help you read more — and understand how you read — without ever giving up your data.

Perfect for tracking the books you're reading, building a daily reading habit, timing your sessions, rating and reviewing what you finish,
spotting patterns over time, and discovering your next great read.

Your books, your habits — and yours alone.

Private by design

No account, no login, no sign-up — just open the app and start
All your data is stored locally on your device by default
No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no third-party data collection
Optional iCloud sync runs through your own private iCloud — never our servers
