What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated September 24, 2026
ReadShelf 1.1 is our biggest update yet: a fresh design, a brand-new Apple Watch app and better ways to find your next book. • Apple Watch: start and pause reading sessions from your wrist, log pages with the Digital Crown, keep an eye on your daily goal ring and add a complication. A session running on your Watch shows up live on your iPhone, where you can control it too. • Discover: more personalized recommendations that tell you why ("Because you read …"), with a thumbs up or down. • Better book search and sharper covers from more sources, including German and international titles. No cover? You get a beautiful placeholder instead. • Redesigned Home, Library (grid, list, shelf view and multi-select) and book details, plus a reading calendar with your covers. • A friendlier streak with automatic rest days (1 for every 7 reading days, up to 2) or a weekly goal, and small celebrations when you hit milestones. • Reading reminders at the time you choose, easy to turn off anytime. • Import from Goodreads, StoryGraph and Fable, free backup & restore, scan quotes with your camera, see when you'll finish a book, and check whether you're ahead of or behind your yearly goal. • Lock Screen widgets. • More for free: up to 3 custom shelves, plus genre and author filters. • Siri & Shortcuts: start, pause or end a reading session, log pages and check today's progress by voice. Share books and quotes as image cards. • ReadShelf now speaks 15 languages. • Bug fixes and stability improvements.
