A book tracker for people with real libraries
Track what
you read.
Catalog what
you own.
Two things, done properly: honest reading data, and a real catalog of every format on your shelf — print, ebook, and audio, each counted right.
Free to start · On Google Play now · iOS coming soon
One book · Every format
Own the hardcover.
Loved the audiobook.
Still one book.
One library entry, a separate record for every format you own — each tracked in its own honest unit. No cross-unit fudging, no double-counting a book you read twice.
-
Print counts pages
Physical and paperback measured where you actually are — page 213 of 662.
-
Audio counts hours
Listening tracked in hours and minutes — 4h 12m of 27h — never faked into "pages."
-
Ebook counts percent
Kindle and epub kept in locations or percent — the unit your reader speaks.
Sessions & Stats
Numbers that
actually mean something.
Time a session, log one you forgot, and watch pages and hours add up — measured in the units you actually read in, not rounded off into a number to protect.

You read most consistently before bed on weekdays — a neutral pattern, not a scoreboard.
The architecture
Library and lists,
finally separate.
Most apps mash your shelves, reading status, and custom lists into one pile. Casebound keeps a canonical library — what you own, in what format, where you are — and lets lists layer on top as tags. A book lives in your library once, in zero or many lists.

Ownership, format, status and privacy are each first-class fields — search or filter by any of them.

On purpose.

Questions
Good to know.
Is my library actually free?
Yes — completely. Your full library, catalog, and real session tracking are free forever, with no book limit. Pro only adds depth: unlimited lists, advanced insights, unlimited book clubs, and the PDF collector’s report.
How do you handle audiobooks vs. print?
Each format is its own record on one book. Audio is tracked in hours and minutes, print in pages, ebooks in percent or locations. Nothing is ever converted into a fake “page” number, so your stats stay honest.
Why not just use Goodreads?
Goodreads conflates shelves with reading state and user lists. When you own 500 books across overlapping shelves, you can’t cleanly answer “what do I own?” Casebound treats your library as a canonical catalog and lists as tags layered on top. They’re separate things, and they look that way.
Are there streaks or yearly goals?
Both — and neither is the point. Your daily goal is set in pages or minutes, never in books, and a streak tracks it. There’s an optional yearly book-count goal too, if that’s a number you like having. What Casebound won’t do is reduce your reading to it: sessions, stats and progress are all measured in pages and hours, so the thing you’re building is real reading rather than a tally to protect.
Can I import from Goodreads or StoryGraph?
Yes. Import a CSV export from Goodreads or StoryGraph and Casebound matches it to real editions. Re-importing your own export merges without creating duplicates.
Does Casebound have social features?
Yes, and none of them are the point. You can follow other readers, share an activity feed, join a book club with threads and reading votes — one on the free plan, unlimited on Pro — and send recommendations to friends. There is no algorithmic feed and no public leaderboard, and you can make your profile private, mark individual books private, or block anyone.
Is my data private — and can I get it out?
Your profile is public by default so other readers can find you, and you can switch it to private whenever you like from Edit profile — which hides your library from everyone else. Individual books can be marked private on their own, and you can block anyone. You can export everything to CSV or JSON at any time, on any plan — no truncation, no upgrade required.
Is there a web app?
Mobile first. Casebound is built for the phone in your hand while you’re standing at the shelf, and a web app comes later only if it’s clearly needed.
Where can I get it?
Casebound is out now on Google Play — you can download it today. The the App Store release is still on its way; leave your email in the sign-up box at the end of this page and we’ll tell you the moment it lands.
