BookVault

BookVault is a private book tracking application designed for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that helps users organize personal libraries, reading progress, quotes, and editions. It allows readers to record details such as formats, collections, tags, ratings, notes, purchase dates, and reading sessions, and to view statistics and streaks about their reading habits. The app syncs data through iCloud and supports backups, keeping the user's library stored privately on their own devices.

The app supports importing data from Goodreads and Book Track without counting these imports toward the 20-book free limit. Users can organize their library by status, ownership, author, series, genre, tag, store, or by creating their own Smart Tags. The platform also allows tracking of upcoming releases and provides optional reminders when a release day arrives.

BookVault allows users to track books they do not own, such as wishlist items or books borrowed from a library or friend. Reading status and ownership are separate features within the application. Users can also add multiple formats to a single edition or link separate editions when the versions have their own publishing details.

The application lets users switch between print, ebook, and audiobook formats while keeping one continuous read. Users can choose one format as the progress reference and record sessions with other formats while keeping the equivalent reference position current. This feature ensures that progress tracking remains accurate across different media types.

Users can record pages, percentages, listening time, and every reading session they want to remember. The platform also allows users to save memorable passages, chapter thoughts, reading notes, reviews, and reflections where they can find them again. Additionally, users can rate each read and revisit earlier opinions without losing the history they already built.

The app provides statistics with a story, allowing users to see the reader behind the numbers. Reading sessions and library purchases are tracked in detail, including price, currency, store, and personal notes. Users can also compare languages, covers, publishers, ISBNs, ebooks, audiobooks, and physical copies within their collection.

The platform includes a Next list that focuses on books you own by default, but users can enable wishlist books in Next under Settings → Library if they want them included. This feature helps users keep an intentional next list and revisit unread books from their own shelves.

The app allows users to create portable backups whenever they want, even if they use iCloud Sync. Sync keeps devices current, but a backup serves as a portable recovery point that the user controls. They protect against different problems by having both sync and backup mechanisms.

The app supports recording purchase dates, prices, currencies, and where each book came from, from the whole collection to the smallest detail. Users can also record the store and personal notes associated with each library purchase.

The Trustburn rating for BookVault is 4 out of 5 from 4 reviews. The app is designed for library enthusiasts and readers who care about the details, offering a private library built for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

The app allows users to record listening time and progress for audiobooks, as well as pages and percentages for print and ebook formats. Users can also log reading sessions with specific dates and the format used, ensuring a comprehensive record of their reading life.
