Yomiato: Reading Log, No Stars

Yomiato is a reading log with no star ratings.

What you keep isn't a score - it's the feeling after you finished: moved to tears, warm, or whatever fits. No ads. Your reading log stays on this device only.

• For readers who
• Want to remember what they read, without writing a review
• Don't want to rate books with stars
• Want their to-be-read pile treated gently, not as a guilt list
• Want a bookshelf that's just theirs, not a social feed

• What you can do
• Scan a barcode to add a book in seconds (book data comes from the public openBD database)
• Tag the feeling it left you with (moved to tears, made me laugh, warm... pick up to three of eight)
• Add how it felt to read (light, ordinary, heavy)
• Keep a favorite line as a quote, just as it was written
• Books with no cover get a mood-colored cover of their own
• Three shelves: want to read, reading, finished
• Re-reads are tracked too, with as many finish dates as you like
• A yearly summary looks back over everything you've read
• Export and import a backup, so switching phones is no trouble

• What this app doesn't do
• No stars, no rankings
• No reading quotas, no streaks pushing you along
• No ads
• Your reading log never leaves this device (the only thing sent anywhere is an ISBN, when you look up a book, to the public openBD database - never what you recorded)

We decided to call that feeling right after finishing a book "yomiato". May it quietly build up on your shelf.
