Atlas was built to highlight your covers, your lists, and the order you decide to read your books in. Reading doesn't need to be gamified, optimized, or made public. It just needs a quiet space to keep your books, plan what's next, and remember where you've been.
Reading is one of the few things left that's slow, quiet, and entirely yours. Atlas is built to keep it that way.
Happy reading,

Atlas is thoughtfully designed and simple to use. It’s a relaxing space for me to keep track of my books and reading plans. I enjoy not feeling the pressure to open it daily to manage lists and streaks and pages. It’s a friendly place to visit when I want to, and the greetings are a delight.
Developer Response
Thank you so much! This genuinely made my entire day. Coming up with the greetings was probably the most fun I had during development, so I'm really glad they landed with you. Happy reading!
Reading Now Widgets
A good book stays with you even when you're not reading it. Now your current read can sit right on your Home Screen, just the cover, the way it's meant to be seen. A quiet reminder of the world you're in the middle of, and an easy way back whenever you need it. Atlas now has a small and medium sized widget, allowing you to see up to four books from your Reading list.
A Few Other Improvements
- Refresh Book Details. Now you can pull the most up-to-date covers and descriptions for any book in your library straight from Apple Books via the ellipsis menu.
- Re-reading's icon has been updated to be the repeat icon.
- Book rows in list view have updated swipe gestures, so the old right swipe gesture no longer conflicts with swiping back to the previous page.
- Importing now better handles titles where the only difference is punctuation, so books like "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" match even when your CSV leaves the commas out.
- For those who have already taken the jump to iOS 27, the toolbar edge effect has been set to soft across the app to keep the same immersive toolbar experience from iOS 26.
Atlas 1.2.1
- Fixed a hiccup where a library could look empty for a moment if you added the widget to your Home Screen before opening Atlas.
- Tidied up spacing and padding for the new widgets.
- Gave the Reading icon its proper color and gradient on the new widgets.
As always, if you have feedback, want to say hi, or found a bug, don't hesitate to reach out! I'd love to hear from you at atlas.app@icloud.com
Ps. If Atlas has made a nice home for your books and you think it's pretty neat, a rating or review can really help other readers find it on the App Store (and it supports a solo dev!)
Happy reading,
