Openreads

Openreads is a privacy-oriented, open source book tracking app built with Flutter for Android and iOS. It helps you organize your reading across multiple lists while keeping your data under your control.

Key Features

• Four built-in lists: finished, currently reading, want to read, and did not finish
• Add books by searching Open Library, scanning barcodes, or entering details manually
• Custom tags and filtering to organize and browse your library
• Reading statistics and summaries
• CSV import and export, including imports from Goodreads and BookWyrm

Use Cases

• Maintain a personal reading log without relying on proprietary book-tracking platforms
• Catalog and tag your library, then filter by genre, status, or custom labels
• Migrate reading history from other services via CSV import/export

Limitations and Considerations

• Metadata lookup is currently limited to Open Library as the sole data provider
• Publishing to the iOS App Store typically requires an Apple Developer account for distribution

Openreads is a solid choice for readers who want a simple, organized way to track books across devices with a privacy-first approach. Its multiple intake methods (search, barcode, manual) and CSV portability make it practical for long-term use and migration.
