Simply TBR: Tame the Stack
Calm book and reading tracker.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Every NetGalley ARC, Libby loan, Kindle book, and paper stack in one calm place. Pick your next read with a spin and not a spiral.
A NetGalley ARC with an archive date creeping closer. The Libby suspended hold you keep meaning to check on. The Kindle book you bought on sale and forgot about. The paperback sitting third from the top of the nightstand pile. Your books live everywhere, which makes picking the next one strangely hard. Simply TBR gathers them into one calm, cover-forward stack... not a catalog of what you've read, but a clear view of what you could start right now.
No ratings. No streaks. No shame about the size of the pile.
-------
What it does for you.
See your whole reading pile in one place.
Bring in NetGalley ARCs (with archive dates, so future you isn't surprised), Libby loans and holds, and your Amazon and Audible libraries. Turn screenshots of other library apps, like Apple Books, into visible books in your stack. Add physical books by barcode scan, manually, or through a list.
Can’t decide what to read? Use Lucky Spin to deal you a small hand of covers. Pick one or spin again.
Move books through four honest states: Unread, Started, Didn't Finish, and Done. Pause or set one aside while you decide. Putting a book down is a choice, not a failure, and the app treats it that way.
Close the loop when you finish. Didn't finish? Let it go, no ceremony needed. Finish? There’s an Exit Ceremony that hands your notes to your clipboard with links to log it on Goodreads, leave NetGalley feedback, or return your loan. Then finish with a small, satisfying animation.
Widgets allow quick glances at what you’re reading or give a peek at your stack offering options without needing to open the app.
-------
The free version works beautifully for a manual stack: add books by hand or barcode, spin, read, finish, and sync across your Apple devices through iCloud.
Connected adds importing from NetGalley, Libby, Amazon, and Audible along with turning library app screenshots into books, for when your reading life gets more complicated.
Whichever you choose your books stay in your stack.
-------
Your stack stays private and on your own devices synced quietly through iCloud. When you import, you log into each service on its own website... your credentials never touch the app and your shelf is read right on your device. No tracking. No analytics. Simply yours.
-------
Simply TBR is built by one indie developer with 633 books on her own TBR who needed a kinder way through it. It sits alongside Simply Remember It and the rest of the SimplyKyra family: soft structure, for real life.
Read your way out.
