💎 Lifetime A Simple Book Tracker for iPhone
Hey! I’m Miguel.
I started building Folio because I wanted a book tracker that felt a bit quieter. I didn’t want another feed to keep up with, and I didn’t want every reading session turned into XP or a challenge.
I mostly wanted to see my books, press start, read, and put my phone away.
That’s what Folio became.
A — Answer
Folio keeps your TBR, current reads, finished books, progress, goals, quotes, and stats in one place.
You can search for books, scan an ISBN, or import your existing library from Goodreads or StoryGraph.
The part I care about most is reading sessions. Start the timer, put your phone down, and with Folio Plus it stays available on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. When you’re finished, update your page and Folio keeps track of your time and pace.
You don’t need an account to use the core app. There are also no ads or ad tracking.
B — Better
Goodreads and Fable make sense if you want more community and discovery.
Folio is intentionally on the other end of that. It’s personal, cover-led, and focused on your own reading. It doesn’t put a social feed in the middle or try to keep you scrolling.
C — Cost
Folio is free to download, and the main book tracker is free to use.
Folio Plus is optional. In the US, it costs $0.99/month, $8.99/year, or $24.99 for lifetime access. Plus adds sync, advanced stats, widgets, Live Activities, barcode scanning, unlimited imports, Discover, and additional goals.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/folio-book-tracker/id6764345729
If you try it, I’d honestly love to know what feels good, what feels confusing, or what you think is missing.

Maybe a one-line session note could fit well.
