Leafed - Private Book Tracker
Reading Journal & TBR List
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Completely free. No accounts, no tracking, no data collection. Scan entire bookshelves, import from Goodreads, and track your reading life - all without giving it away.
Your reading life shouldn't be a product. Leafed is a private book tracker that keeps everything on your device — no accounts, no tracking, no algorithms deciding what you should read next.
PRIVACY THAT ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING
When you search for a book, your device talks directly to Open Library and Google Books. Anonymous requests — Leafed never sees what you're searching for. Your shelves, notes, ratings, and reading history are stored locally on your device.
For readers with multiple Apple devices, iCloud sync moves your library between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac through Apple's encrypted infrastructure. There's no Leafed account, no Leafed server, no middleman. We literally cannot see what you're reading.
SCAN ENTIRE BOOKSHELVES
Point your camera at a shelf, and Leafed identifies multiple books at once. Up to 5 shelf scans per day — enough to catalog dozens of books in a single session. Perfect for working through your home library or discovering titles at the bookstore.
Also works one book at a time — scan any barcode for instant details, ratings, and links to buy.
BRING YOUR GOODREADS LIBRARY
Leaving Goodreads? Import your entire library directly — books, shelves, ratings, and reading dates all transfer into Leafed. Pick up right where you left off, without the surveillance.
TRACK YOUR READING YOUR WAY
- Custom shelves: Want to Read, Reading, Finished, plus any shelf you create
- Quarter-point ratings (3.25, 4.5) for precise tracking
- Reading goals with annual targets and progress milestones
- Reading timer to log sessions manually or with a built-in stopwatch
- Notes and quotes saved alongside each book
- Mood and pacing tags to remember how books felt, not just what they scored
- Reading insights showing your patterns, streaks, and favorite genres
DISCOVER WITHOUT AN ALGORITHM
Browse current New York Times bestseller lists by category. Explore a growing collection of indie and small-press titles submitted by independent authors. Search millions of books by title, author, ISBN, or genre.
YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
Export your full library to CSV anytime — your reading history travels with you. iCloud sync keeps everything up to date across your Apple devices automatically and securely. No lock-in, no hostage data.
COMPLETELY FREE
No subscriptions. No premium tiers. No ads. Leafed earns a small commission through Amazon affiliate links when you choose to buy a book, and there's an optional tip jar if you want to support development. That's it. Your reading data is never the product.
