Lil Reads
One tap per book you read
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The simplest way to log the books you read with your kids — and chase 1,000 together. One satisfying tap, even with a toddler on your hip.
Read one tap at a time. A thousand books together.
Lil Reads is the fastest way to log the books you read with your little one — and turn story time into a 1,000-book adventure you tackle as a family.
It's built for the real moment of reading to a toddler: one hand free, the book just finished, a wriggly kid on your lap. Open the app, tap once, done. Add the title later from the couch — or never. The count goes up either way.
Log in a tap
• One big button logs a read instantly — no forms, nothing required.
• Tap a frequent book first to log exactly what you read (toddlers repeat favourites endlessly).
• Forgot to log? Add a past read with any date.
Build a real library
• Search millions of books or scan the barcode to add covers and details.
• Beautiful glass shelves of everything you've read.
• Star your favourites; keep a wishlist of books to get next.
Chase 1,000 books
• A big progress ring toward your goal, with milestone celebrations at 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1,000.
• Day streaks and a consistency heatmap to build the bedtime-reading habit.
• Export a tidy PDF reading log — perfect proof for a library reading challenge, or a keepsake.
• Prefer to just count? Turn the challenge off any time.
For the whole family
• A separate shelf and counter for each child.
• Share with a partner or carer so everyone logs into the same library.
• Syncs privately across your devices with iCloud.
Private by design No account. No ads. No tracking. Your reading lives in your own iCloud and nowhere else. The camera is used only to scan book barcodes.
Great for the 1,000 Books Before School challenge, library reading programs, or simply reading a little more, together.
