About Excerpta: Reading Journal
Excerpta is a book tracker that doubles as a reading journal.
Every book gets its own timeline: the lines that stopped you, the notes you wrote, the pages you read each day, and how it all felt. Point your camera at a page to keep a quote. It keeps the rest too: your shelves, where you left off, and how your year in reading is going.
KEEP THE WORDS
– Capture quotes with the camera, from photos (a few pages at once), or by typing. The text is read on your phone.
– Tap a paragraph to keep it whole, or drag the highlighter across just the words you want.
– Pick one of six highlight colours, add a note, and mark the page or chapter.
– Tag the character who said it and add how it made you feel. Your moods can go to Apple Health too.
– Quotes that don't belong to any book land in your Commonplace book.
READ YOUR EPUBS AND COMICS
Add an EPUB or a comic (CBZ, CBR) to any book and read it here, with search, six themes, and your own font. Manga reads right to left. Keep a passage or a panel as a quote, and the reader logs your reading for you.
HOWEVER YOU READ
Print, e-book, or audiobook. Owned, borrowed, or gifted. They all share the same shelves.
– Add books by searching, scanning the barcode, or typing them in.
– Browse by book, author, character, or series. Series fill themselves in, or build your own.
– Make as many shelves as you like. A book can sit on several.
– Rate in half or quarter stars, write a review, and start a reread with a fresh timeline.
– Add a new release as Upcoming and get a note the day it's out.
KNOW WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
– Start the reading timer and pause it from the Lock Screen, or set your page, your percentage, or the time left in an audiobook.
– Give a book a finish date, or your whole year a goal.
– The Calendar shows each day you read as a cover, ringed by your mood, with your streak up top.
SEE HOW THE YEAR IS GOING
Stats shows what your reading looked like: Books Read, Pages Read, Genres, Mood, Top Authors, and more. Reading Nooks gathers the photos you took and maps the places you read. Pick the cards, then look at a month, a year, or all time.

– Capture a quote from Shortcuts or the Action button.
– Share a quote as an image card, or send a friend a link to a book.
