Oct 12, 2026
New version 1.6 → 1.7

• New: Two new film designs for Year in Review. “Clothbound” tells your reading year as a bound book in three volumes, “Almanac” as a historic newspaper with printing roller and stamp. Both come with their own song, run one minute and can be shared as a video – pick one with the palette button in Year in Review. • New: Tropes even without a blurb – BookSafe now also picks up tropes from the keywords publishers report to the German National Library, such as “Enemies to Lovers” or “Forced Proximity”. • Improved: Library sorted by status – unread borrowed books now come first, the one due soonest at the top. • Improved: Book data even during an outage at the German National Library. BookSafe then switches to a second data format; if the library doesn’t respond at all, the app says so instead of claiming the book isn’t in any catalogue. • Improved: The labels of the numbers in statistics and Year in Review are easier to read. • Improved: On the Year in Review podium, VoiceOver reads “Book of the Year – place 1” along with title and author. • Fixed: The release-day fireworks show the right books and covers from the very first moment. • Many further refinements.

About

BookSafe is your personal book manager – beautiful, fast and private. Build your library, track your reading, keep an eye on your wishlist. No account, no ads, no data collection. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE • The Today tab shows you a daily page: quote, yearly goal, current book, upcoming dates. • A new reading quote every day – in a card design that changes daily. ON IPHONE, IPAD, IPHONE DUO AND APPLE WATCH • iPhone + iPad, always in sync – via your private iCloud, no sign-up needed. • A full iPad layout: sidebar, wide lists, two-column statistics, large calendar – and in landscape, list and book side by side. • Made for iPhone Duo: fully usable on the outer and inner display, cover and details on either side of the fold when unfolded, the reading timer above the fold in tabletop mode. • An extra-large widget for your iPad Home Screen. • Apple Watch: start, pause, finish or discard reading sessions right on your wrist – works without your iPhone, too. ADD BOOKS IN SECONDS • Scan an ISBN – title, author, cover and publisher arrive automatically from several book databases. • No readable barcode? The scanner reads the printed ISBN, too. • Or add books manually and edit them freely. • Duplicates are detected before they end up in your library. • Import CSV files from other book apps – with ratings, reading status, tags and notes. YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR OVERVIEW • Reading status: Unread, Reading, Finished, Listened (audiobooks), Abandoned and Wishlist. • List and gallery views, sorted and filtered by status, tag or series. • Half-star ratings and notes. • Your own lists like “Autumn reads” or “Holiday 2027” – with their own view, search and sorting. • Series are grouped automatically – you see which volume is missing and add it in the edition you prefer. Special volumes like “book 8.5” sit right, too. • If you like, your library shows each series as a single entry. • A location for your own books: record place and shelf – and search by them. • Picked the wrong edition? Simply swap it for another edition of the same volume. READING PROGRESS & STATS • Reading sessions with a live timer, reading streak and pace insights. • Your running session shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island – pause or end it with a single tap. • Statistics on finished books, genres, pages and years. • Achievements, badges and a yearly reading challenge with your own goal. • Year in Review: your numbers, your top 3 with medals – and your reading year as a film to share, in three designs. • Authors and genres are tappable – browse on and add finds straight to your wishlist. WISHLIST & COUNTDOWN WIDGET • Save upcoming books with their release date. • A countdown shows the days until release – with a reminder. • On release day, BookSafe celebrates with a big cover and a little fireworks display. • The widget shows your next release on your Home and Lock Screen. KEEP TRACK OF BORROWED BOOKS • Mark books as borrowed – with source (library, friends) and due date. • A countdown reminds you before the loan period ends. • Extend or return with a single tap. SHARE & EXPORT • Share your favourite books as share cards – or your reading update as a story image. • Share your own lists and your wishlist as an image or as text. • Export your library as CSV or PDF – your data is yours. • A complete backup as a single file – restore it on a new device. GERMAN & ENGLISH • The app follows your device language automatically. FREE & BOOKSAFE PRO • Free for up to 50 books – with every feature. • With BookSafe Pro, unlimited books.
