BookZEN - Bookshelf & Tracker

Your books, on a shelf that is truly yours — and a calm reason to read tonight.

BookZEN is a virtual bookshelf, book tracker and reading journal for people who love real books. Your shelf looks like the one at home: your editions, with their real covers and spines, in the order you choose, in a room you style yourself. A quiet reading timer, a reading log and gentle goals turn your TBR into books you actually finish — no pressure, no feed, no account.

Made for readers of romantasy, fantasy, thrillers, YA and the classics — on paper, on an e-reader or in your ears.

ADDING A BOOK TAKES SECONDS

• Point your camera at the barcode — or simply at the title on the cover

• Bring your whole Goodreads library with you

• Many books arrive already looking like your edition

A SHELF THAT IS REALLY YOURS

• Turn a book in front of the camera once, and your copy is on the shelf: its cover, spine, page edges — sprayed edges too — and back

• Every book at its true height and thickness

• Stand books upright, stack them or turn them face-out

• Style every shelf: wood, rooms, lighting, seasons and cosy decorations

• A series stands together in order — the next volume is right there to add, or to wish for

• A shelf you will want to show off

NEVER LOSE YOUR PLACE

• Set a book aside and come back weeks later: pick up at the right page, or start over

• One reading log for paper books, ebooks and audiobooks

• Your reading week at a glance

• See how much time is left in the book you are reading

• Missed a day? Add it later

• Keep the lines you love, in seconds

A CALM READING HABIT

• A gentle reading timer — start when you sit down, pause for the kettle

• Set the mood: rain, a crackling fire, a café or a forest

• Daily reading minutes and a yearly reading challenge that fit your life

• Streaks, milestones and little keepsakes to collect along the way

• Promise yourself a reward for finishing the challenge — and let BookZEN hold you to it

• Gentle reminders at your reading hour, never on days you have already read

A WISHLIST THAT MAKES GIFTS EASY

• Every book you want to read next, in one place

• Share your wishlist before a birthday — friends get exactly the right edition

• Share any book as a beautiful card, and your month or year in reading too

READ AND LISTEN, ALL IN ONE PLACE

• Your own ebooks (EPUB) and audiobooks, right on your shelf

• Let a book be read aloud when your hands are busy

• Free classics, a tap away

ON YOUR HOME SCREEN

• A bookshelf widget and a widget for the book you are reading

• Your reading timer on the lock screen
