Openreads is a privacy oriented and open source cross-platform app written in Flutter available for Android and iOS for keeping track of your books.
There are four lists provided so you won't get confused:
  • books you finished,
  • books you are currently reading,
  • books you want to read later,
  • books you didn't finish.

You can use custom tags and filter through them.

A book can be added by:
  • looking it up in the Open Library database,
  • scanning its barcode,
  • adding its details manually.
You can also view some cool statistics!

How do I choose a repository?

Start with your use case, compare repository activity, and check the original project before adopting it.

  1. Search by repository name, owner or description, then narrow the results by topic.
  2. Compare stars, forks and recent pushes. Stars show community interest, not a guarantee of quality.
  3. Read the README, license and issues on GitHub before using a project.
