Stone by Stone
Reading journal & book notes
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A private reading journal for keeping your reading reflections. Each note places a stone, so your year takes shape on a quiet hillside.
Stone by Stone is a private reading journal for iPhone and iPad. Save a passage, write what it meant to you, and place a stone. A stone comes from a reflection, not from finishing a book, so the shape of a year grows from what truly stayed with you.
- Add books by searching the catalog
- Keep shelves for reading, read, want to read, or set aside
- Capture a passage by photographing a printed page, with text recognized on your device
- Type a passage when you want to enter it by hand
- Write notes in your own words and revisit them later
- See the year gather as a small balanced stack on a hillside
Everything stays on your device. There is no account, no feed, no ads, no tracking, and no notifications. By default, nothing is shared.
This is not a social reading app or a productivity system. It does not ask for streaks, badges, or a perfect record. It keeps a quiet trace of where reading met your life.
A shelf that stays yours.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Stone by Stone now sits properly on iPad. Text, book covers and the stone tower scale to the screen, and notes keep a comfortable line length instead of running the full width of the display.
Also fixed: on a longer reading year, the title on the celebration screen could overlap the tower.
