For book people
Your TBR pile,finally sorted.
The one you're halfway through, the 300 you've already finished, and the pile you keep meaning to start. All in the same library as your films, shows and games.
Requires iOS 26 or later.
Every read gets its own page. Including the rereads.
Rate it out of 10, write down what you actually thought, mark your spoilers, and decide whether it stays yours or goes out as a review.
Ninety pages in and I put it down. Wrong book for a heatwave.
Picked it up again on a train and finished it in four days. The middle third drags and I didn't care; the last forty pages earn all of it.
Knowing where it ends changes the first chapter completely. Up a point. Lent my hardcover to Marta the same week.
Private by default. Nothing here leaves the page unless you publish it.
— 218 —Vance writes weather the way other people write villains: patiently, and with obvious affection for the damage.
The almanac framing sounds like a gimmick for about sixty pages, and then quietly becomes the entire point of the book.
Second time through I noticed the dates don't line up. I've decided that's deliberate.
Third time will be the audiobook, I think. I want to hear the weather.
Page 218 of 512. Or 43%. Or four hours left.
However you keep your place, LaterRex keeps up. Log pages, percent or audiobook minutes, and if you switch edition halfway through, your place comes with you.
- Move your bookmark in a couple of taps, and keep what you're reading on a home screen widget.
- Audiobooks get minutes and run time. Nobody pretends an audiobook has pages.
- Want to read, Reading, Read, DNF. Four shelves, and no judgement about which one a book ends up on.

Which edition you own, and who's got it right now.
Books are the one thing people actually lend. Track the copy you own, in every format you own it in, and remember who you handed it to.
- Physical, digital, audiobook, or all three of the same book, with the edition and the store.
- Mark the ones that aren't yours, borrowed from a friend or read on a subscription.
- Lend it out and note who has it, and since when. No more "I'm fairly sure Marta has it".
Your Goodreads export, matched book by book.
Drop in the CSV Goodreads hands you. Every row gets matched against Hardcover's database, so what lands is an actual library with covers, authors and page counts attached.
- Want-to-read lands in your TBR, read lands as finished, with the date you actually finished it.
- Star ratings come across too, converted from Goodreads' five stars to our 10-point scale.
- Series bookkeeping like (The Expanse, #2) gets cleaned off the title on the way in.

Your shelves land
Covers, authors, page counts and your own ratings, all in place.
412 books · 318 read · 94 to readFive Rexes, earned one book at a time.
Finish books, rate them, write the odd review, and Rex works his way up from bookworm to head librarian. Hand-drawn by a real artist, never generated.
Custom covers count too: five of your own on the second shelf, thirty by the last.
Read, rate and review the right book, meet a new Rex.
A handful of avatars only appear off specific titles. We are not saying which. These two got out.
Every Rex on this shelf is earned for free, just by reading. No gacha, no loot boxes.
The details readers actually keep track of.
Most of this ends up in a spreadsheet or three bookmarks. It doesn't have to.
