BookDrawer: Reading Journal

About this app

BookDrawer is a quiet drawer for the books you keep. When you read them, how many times, and where they are now — all in one place. ■ Library — Want to read, reading, finished. And bought, borrowed, given away. ■ Reading history — Read it again and each pass keeps its own dates, rating, and notes. ■ Your shelf — Owned, to buy, departed (gifted, sold, lost). Two copies of one book, tracked separately. ■ Quotes — Photograph a passage and the words come across on their own. Page numbers too. ■ Reading calendar — Covers of finished books fill in the calendar, and turn into share cards for your feed. ■ iCloud sync — The same library on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No sign-in. ■ Book search — Find by title or author and pull in the cover and details. (Book data: Google Books) No ads. Just your books.

BookDrawer gets wider in 2.0. Alongside what you read, it now keeps track of where each book is. Reading history Read a book more than once and each pass is kept on its own — its dates, its rating, its notes. Finished lists and the calendar show them separately too. Read again Start a new pass from a finished book. The earlier passes stay as they are. Your shelf Mark each book as owned, to buy, or departed (gifted, sold, or lost). Gifts remember who you gave them to, and if you hold two copies, each is tracked on its own. Want to buy Keep the books you mean to buy in their own list, and move one into the library with a single tap once you have it. Your existing records carry over. The first launch runs a one-time tidy-up, and a backup is made automatically just before it starts.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
