About Kiveo: Book & Reading Journal
A quiet corner for readers. Kiveo is a reading tracker for people who want to enjoy their books without the noise. No feeds, no pressure, nothing to keep alive - just a calm, private space for your reading life. WHAT YOU CAN DO Track your reading sessions Start a Live Session when you sit down to read. Your time and progress appear on your Lock Screen through Live Activity, so you never need to leave the moment. Forgot to track? Add the session afterwards. Capture quotes with your camera Point your camera at a printed page and Kiveo lifts the text for you. No typing, no losing your place. Saved lines stay with the book they came from. Build your personal library Organize books onto custom shelves. Scan a barcode to add a book instantly, or search by title, author, or ISBN. Swap editions or covers without losing your notes or progress. Keep your next reads close Your Nightstand holds up to seven books - the ones you're reaching for next. A short, intentional list instead of an endless backlog. Set an intention, or don't Choose a gentle reading intention if it helps you. Leave it alone if it doesn't. Intentions are private, optional, and you can end one at any time without a record of having stopped. Read a book again Kiveo keeps every reading of a book, not just the last one. Return to an old favorite and it remembers both the first time and this time. Remember what moved you Save reflections and quotes as you read. We keep them alongside the book, so you can revisit what stayed with you. Read at your own pace Set a gentle daily reminder - once a day at most, and you can pause it whenever you like. Mark a book Paused or Did Not Finish without guilt. Not every book needs finishing. See how you read Reading stats that describe your habits without grading them. Pages, minutes, sessions, and books, laid out plainly. Discover what's next Browse picks from our garden. Thoughtful suggestions, whenever you're ready for them. Bring your library with you Import from Goodreads with a CSV file. Export everything, any time. Your library is yours. PRIVACY Everything stays on your device and in your iCloud. No account required. No ads. No tracking for advertising. No social features you didn't ask for. We don't sell anything about you, because we don't have anything to sell. SUPPORT US Kiveo is free. If it earns a place in your reading life, there is a tip jar - leave a bookmark, a book on our doorstep, or a whole shelf. Tipping unlocks a set of alternate app icons as a thank you.
What’s new
Version 1.3.4 · Updated September 30, 2026
A few small fixes to make your library feel right again. • Tap a cover and that's the book you get. Right after adding a new book, covers in Recently Added and on your shelves could open the book next to them until you restarted Kiveo. • Choosing shelves for a book you've just added no longer closes and reopens on its own. • Manage Books on a shelf scrolls and ticks smoothly again, even in big libraries. Picking a book for your Nightstand is quicker too. • On a book's page, the status tag now sits neatly under the In Library button when the book has no page count.
