About Rubrica: Reading Tracker
Rubrica is a cozy home for your reading. Add any book, on paper, e-reader or audio, sit down to read with a little companion, and watch the hours add up. TRACK EVERY BOOK Paper, Kindle, Kobo, audiobooks, library loans. Tap Read and the book's cover swings open: your companion opens a book of their own and a lamp fills while the timer runs (it keeps going on your lock screen), with rain, birdsong or a fireplace to read to. Already read? Type your minutes in and they count just the same. Your stats, streak and reading calendar count all of it. A COMPANION WHO READS WITH YOU Pick a little reading buddy: a cat, an owlet, a snail and fifteen more waiting in gift boxes. Each one levels up on their own, from 1 to 50, as you read together. They potter around the room, stop for a cup of tea, and walk over when you tap the floor. The window keeps your hours and the season outside. Fill the lamp and they wander into your book overnight, then send you a postcard. They never guilt-trip you. A ROOM TO ARRANGE Put a chair on any square of the floor, hang pictures, pinch to come in close. Everything is found by reading or bought with gold leaf, the coin reading pays, and you can try a thing in the room before you buy it. There are over a hundred things to wear, too. AFTER YOU READ Gold leaf falls through the room: drag your companion along the floor to catch it. Ten seconds, different every time, and you can skip it. Every ten minutes you read is a cast at the pond, with twenty-four fish to find. Every book you finish leaves a seed for the garden, watered by ten minutes of reading a day. Read after nine and a star lights, in twelve constellations to draw. A KEEPSAKE FROM EVERY BOOK Finish a book and your companion keeps something from it on the shelf, chosen for what the book was about, and tells you why: a rose for the honeymoon, a magnifying glass for the great detective. A DAILY GOAL THAT FEELS GOOD Set five minutes or sixty. Meet it and gold leaf rains down, more for bigger goals. Three small quests a day to collect, a gift box for reading five days out of seven, and something new to earn every month. Earn seals that change colour as they level up, from red to gold. A READING LOG FOR SCHOOL Kids with "read 30 minutes a night" homework get a week on one page: minutes and books each day and a line for a grown-up to sign. Share it, print it, done. BRING YOUR HISTORY Import your reading history from a CSV export and your shelves, ratings and dates come with you. Covers fill themselves in. READ YOUR OWN EBOOKS TOO Open the DRM-free EPUBs you bought from authors and indie shops, with fonts that are easy on the eyes, highlights and notes, and a page turn that feels like paper. FREE CLASSICS Search thousands of public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg, one tap to download, with hand-picked trilogies worth reading together. FRIENDS, NO FEED Swap friend codes and see how your people are reading. Their companions drop by your room. You pick what they see. No feed, no likes, no strangers. RUBRICA PRO (OPTIONAL) Everything above is free. Pro adds glowing auras for your companion, an upstairs loft where they sleep under the moon, colour schemes, reading pages, two lofi tracks to read to, moving Today bars, deeper stats and something new every month. Once a month you can give a friend a week of Pro. It's how Rubrica pays for itself. YOURS No ads. No tracking. Your books never leave your phone. An account is optional and only there to sync and for Friends. Rubrica opens DRM-free books only. It can't open books locked to another store's app. Rubrica Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time Founding Reader purchase. Subscriptions renew until cancelled in your App Store account settings.

The pond's float now dives the way it should on every phone. Thank you to the reader who told us. After your first read, your companion can offer a nudge at the same time tomorrow. One a day, off whenever you like. Rubrica Pro's page shows its plans right at the top. And if you're enjoying Rubrica, there's a Rate Rubrica row under Me, About. It helps more than you'd think.
