Openreads
Private and Open Source Books Tracker
Keep track of your books with @openreads a privacy-oriented and open-source Android app written in Flutter.
Organize your books into four categories:
- Finished
- In progress
- For later
- Unfinished

I’m waiting for the Bookwyrm integration: https://github.com/mateusz-bak/openreads-android/issues/96
Unfortunately there’s no API in Bookwyrm yet: https://github.com/bookwyrm-social/bookwyrm/issues/785
there’s no API in Bookwyrm yet lol wut? Interesting decision there…
One would think their UI uses an API to connect to the backend…
What do you mean private and open source? How does that work?
Edit: my bad I misunderstood the meaning of private in this context. Ignore my dumb ass lol.
Why are those mutually exclusive? The code is open source, and your added books are private. This is presumably a goodreads without the social aspect.
@Adamzen @ssboomman Just to clarify, Openreads is not a book or a book reader, but rather a book reading tracker. With Openreads, your reading data and statistics are kept private to you. Additionally, the app is open-source, which means that you can verify its privacy features by examining the source code. You can even build your own version of the app or contribute to its development if you wish. I hope this helps clarify things!
!!! LOVE FOSS!!! Will check it out.
Is there any benefit to this over Calibre-Web? Having OPDS for book hosting is a big thing, but beyond that, what’s better?
@foss_android @openreads @books lovely app, I’ve been using it for a year now and wouldn’t want to do without it. Useful for adding books on the fly when suggested, rather than writing titles down only to forget them!
