Watch your year fill the shelf.
Ribbonleaf is a quiet reading journal for paper books and ebooks. Set a goal for the year, read with a session timer, mark the page when you stop, and every book you finish stands on your shelf in a colour you choose. Your books stay on your iPhone.
For the books on your nightstand
Scan the barcode
Point the camera at the back cover; title, author and page count come from Open Library. Or type them in.
Read, then mark the page
Start a session when you open the book. When you stop, say where, and the ribbon bookmark moves with you.
On your Lock Screen
With Ribbonleaf Plus, the session time shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and widgets show your book and your shelf.
Keep the lines you love
Photograph the page and tap the lines to keep. The text is read on your iPhone and saved with the page number.
A goal and a streak
Books this year against your goal, pages per day, days to finish at your pace, and a streak that waits until the day is over.
Your year in books
Pages, hours and lines kept, month by month, and a year-in-books card to share in December.
Private by design
- No account and no social feed. Your books, sessions and quotes stay on your iPhone.
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking.
- The only thing that leaves your phone is an ISBN, sent to Open Library to find the book.
Free to start, optional Plus
Unlimited books, reading sessions, your yearly goal and shelf, and 10 quotes are free.
