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 intermediary. 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. Scan right from the Search screen or your Home dashboard.
Also works one book at a time — scan any barcode for instant details, ratings, and links to buy.
BRING YOUR LIBRARY WITH YOU
Leaving Goodreads, StoryGraph, or Bookmory? 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.

YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
Export your full library to CSV anytime — your reading history travels with you. iCloud sync keeps everything on your Apple devices up to date 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 and Libro.fm 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.

I have gotten 5 book trackers and this one was the best by FAR. 1. Some of the other apps didn’t support iPad/Macbook screens- this app does. 2. I read a lot of really old books and I just couldn’t find a lot of them on the other apps I tried. This app surprisingly found all of them with no problems!3. Love the clean design and how it has dark mode.4. NO ADS!! Cons:Doesn’t use accounts for syncing, which some people would be ok with that, but I have a Phone and iPad that I want to use the app on. Luckily you CAN import and export the data within the app between your electronics and it’s pretty simple, you just have to do it manually. Something that I would recommend for the app is more organizing options. Like having files within a file. That would be amazing for organizing.
Developer Response
Thank you for the great feedback! Excited that you are enjoying our app. Would love to pick your brain on the organization idea. Email me mike@leafed.app if you’re open to chat about it.
