About this app

Most reading apps give you a list. BookZEN - Reading Bookshelf gives you a shelf — and a reason to sit down with a book today.

Your books stand as spines and covers on shelves you arrange yourself. A timer runs while you read. And every day you show up, your goals quietly move forward.

Free to download, with an optional Premium upgrade.

GOALS THAT PULL YOU BACK TO THE PAGE
Reading more isn't about discipline — it's about a target that fits your life and a small reward waiting when you hit it.

Set a daily goal in minutes — ten before bed counts
Set an annual goal in books and watch the year fill up
Keep a streak alive one sitting at a time
Earn personal rewards as goal are reached — milestones worth looking forward to
Adjust any target the moment it stops fitting; the app bends to your life, not the other way around
Totals by day, week, month and year, so progress is always visible

TIMED READING SESSIONS
Start the timer when you sit down. Stop it when you get up. Pause for the kettle.

Every session records the page or percentage you reached — progress built from real sittings, not guesswork
Your reading speed, worked out from your own sessions
Attach a short note to any sitting — a reaction, a line worth keeping
Forgot the timer? Add the session afterwards with its real date

SHELVES YOU ARRANGE
The shelf is the app.
Drag and resize books into any arrangement that feels right
Covers filled in automatically when a match is found
Photograph the spine of a physical book and use that image instead
Decorative frames and objects to dress the space, like a real bookcase

YOUR READING HISTORY
Nothing is thrown away when you finish a book.
Date, minutes, progress and notes kept for every sitting
