What's New

Book search results now match your device's reading language — no more editions from another country ranking first.

Search now loads more results as you scroll, and when you reach the end you can scan a barcode or add the book manually.

The Groups welcome screen is now a cozy reading room — a full bookshelf scene on iPad and Mac, and a fresh look on iPhone.

Special event links now open right in the app — see what's happening and join a reading group in a couple of taps.

After rating a book you get a celebration screen — your cover, your stars, your review, and confetti when you close the last page.

Share your finished book as a story-sized image, with room for your full review.

Reading a book again now asks whether to keep your page, and your finished read is saved to the book's history.

Joins, leaves, and group activity now show up in seconds, and muting a group works everywhere.

Book search now runs on our own private search service — faster results, and your searches stay between you and us.

Make the reading timer yours — 13 looks from classic paper to a rainy window, with animated scenes and a build-your-own custom theme. Six themes are free; the rest come with Pro.

Read together and keep the pace — create a reading group, invite friends with a link, and follow everyone's progress in one place.

Share a single invite link to bring readers in — no accounts to hunt down, no friction.

The Goals screen got a warmer, more vibrant redesign — clearer progress, friendlier visuals, and a more motivating look every time you check in.

Book Reading Habit is now a true multiplatform experience — native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with all your reading data synced seamlessly via iCloud.

Finished a book? Now you'll be asked to rate and review it right away. You can also rate any finished book anytime from the book menu or library.

Star ratings and reviews are now visible in your finished books library, so you can see at a glance what you thought of each book.

Streaks and daily reading goals are now available to everyone, no subscription required. Stay motivated and build your reading habit for free.

Export your book notes as PDF, HTML, Markdown, or plain text. Audio notes can be transcribed to text before export, included as audio files in a ZIP, or both.

Set a daily page goal and track your progress with a weekly chart. Your page count shows up right on the streak card so you always know where you stand.

Find your books and notes instantly from Spotlight. See covers, filter by type, and preview audio notes — all without opening the app.

The reading goal widget got a fresh look with a progress ring and the reading mascot to keep you motivated.

A detailed overview of your library with the ability to selectively remove books, sessions, notes, or shelves — with a clear progress screen showing exactly what's being deleted.

Comprehensive accessibility enhancements across the app — improved VoiceOver support, better Dynamic Type scaling, refined contrast ratios, and more accessible navigation throughout.

We're working on a native macOS version of Book Reading Habit. A true multiplatform experience for iOS and macOS, with all your data synced seamlessly via iCloud. Available soon.

Add notes to the books you're reading — type your thoughts or record voice notes with on-device transcription. Everything stays on your device, respecting your privacy.

Import your books from Goodreads or a CSV file, and export your entire library anytime. Includes a multi-stage review flow to detect duplicates and edit entries before saving.

Enhanced VoiceOver labels and hints across the app, improved Dynamic Type support, and better touch targets for all interactive elements.

A whole new way to get started — pick a reading goal, add your first book, and start a mini reading session, all in under 60 seconds. Works fully offline too.

Unified colors, typography, and spacing everywhere. The home screen, book stats, reading goals, and widgets all got a visual refresh that feels more cohesive and polished — with full dark mode support.

Tabs switch instantly with no loading flicker, section headers are back, and the empty library state now guides you to add your first book with clear action cards.

Home screen widgets now match your system appearance (light or dark) instead of being always dark.

New stat cards, personalized reading insights, and an improved activity heatmap.

Track your daily reading streak and see your consistency at a glance in the reading goals screen.

Choose between unlimited reading sessions or time-boxed reading with a set duration. Read at your own pace, your way.

When using time-boxed reading, you can now choose to extend your session when the timer ends. Keep reading when you're in the flow.

Track your reading sessions directly from your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with beautiful Live Activities (iOS 18+).

Discover your reading journey with a beautiful year-end summary, inspired by Spotify Wrapped. See your stats, highlights, and achievements.

Automate your reading workflow with powerful integrations. Connect with Slack, Telegram, or use custom webhooks to share your reading progress and achievements.

Add reading sessions manually when you forget to start the timer. Perfect for tracking offline reading or paper books.
