An Android app by Paperleaf Studio

Bookwren

A calm reading journal.

Your library lives on your phone, and one backup file moves it to a new phone.

Coming soon to Google Play

Android only for now.

What it does

Add a book by searching Open Library, scanning its barcode, or typing it in.
Keep four shelves: Reading, Want to read, Finished and Did not finish.
Log your page or percent, rate your books, and keep notes, quotes and a review.
Set a yearly goal and see your reading in statistics.
Back up your whole library to one file, and restore it on a new phone.

Privacy in plain words

No Bookwren account. Your books, notes and quotes live on your phone, never on our servers. Book search and covers come from Open Library. Crash reports never include your books or notes, and you can turn them off in Settings.

No ads. No AI features.

Works offline for your library, progress, notes and stats. Search and covers need a connection.

The Bookwren privacy policy lists everything that leaves your phone, who receives it and why.

Help

Backups, restoring, moving to a new phone and reporting a problem are on the Bookwren support page. You can also write to support@studiopaperleaf.com.
