Bookshelf & TBR - BookZEN

Most reading apps give you a list. BookZEN - Bookshelf & TBR gives you a shelf. A timer runs while you read, and every sitting is written into that book's history. Months later you can look back and see how long a book took you, when you picked it up, and what you were thinking while you were in it. Free to download, with an optional Premium upgrade. TIMED READING SESSIONS Start the timer when you sit down, stop it when you get up. Pause for the kettle and come back. Each session records where you got to, so your progress is built from real sittings rather than from guesswork. Run a timer while you read; pause it and return without losing anything Record the page or percentage you stopped at Reading speed worked out from your own sessions Attach a short note to any session — a reaction, a line worth keeping Forgot to start the timer? Add the session afterwards with its real date SHELVES YOU ARRANGE The shelf is the app. Books appear as spines and covers you drag into whatever order feels right, and you can dress the space around them the way you would a real bookcase. Drag and resize books into any arrangement you like Covers filled in automatically when a match is found Photograph the spine of a physical book and use that image instead Decorative photo frames for the shelves Decorative objects to fill out the gaps YOUR READING HISTORY Nothing is thrown away when you finish a book. Every session stays attached to it, so each title ends up carrying its own record of how it was read. Date, minutes, progress and notes stored for every sitting Total time spent per book, first page to last Current progress visible on every book DAILY GOALS Pick a number of minutes that fits the life you actually have, and change it when that life changes. Choose how many minutes a day you want to read Adjust the target whenever it stops fitting Totals by day, week, month and year FINDING AND ADDING BOOKS Add a book in whichever way is quickest — typing it, or pointing the camera at the back cover.
