Chaptify

Habit builder for readers

The reading tracker that makes the habit stick.

Chaptify is a reading tracker and social reading app for iPhone. Track books and reading progress, build streaks, run focused reading sessions with a Pomodoro timer, discover books, and see who else is reading right now.

A reading habit you can actually keep.

Start the timer, read, and watch the pages add up. Focused sessions, a streak that forgives an off day, and no limit on the books you track.

Focus sessions

Every minute you read, counted.

Pick a book, start the dial, and read. The timer is built for reading rather than sprinting, so you can pause when life interrupts and come back to the same session. Every page still counts toward your day.

Build a habit with streaks

Shelves

Every book you'll read. No limit.

Reading, up next, finished, abandoned, or a shelf you invented yourself. Other trackers cap your free library and charge to lift it. Chaptify does not, and will not.

Your streak, one glance away

Live presence

See who's reading, right now.

Every open session lights up on a shared map. It is a quiet signal that somewhere, someone else just started their chapter too. No feed to maintain, no followers to chase. Reading has always been solitary. Chaptify makes it ambient.

The map opens from the friends feed, shown here. You appear on it only while a session is open, and you can turn it off.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Chaptify free to use?

Yes. Chaptify's free plan includes unlimited books and shelves, the focus timer, streaks, and basic stats, with no cap on how many books you track.

How is Chaptify different from Goodreads?

Chaptify focuses on building a daily reading habit rather than only cataloging books. It adds a Pomodoro reading timer, streaks, reading stats, and a live map of other readers in session, and it never limits how many books you can track for free.

Goodreads alternatives: 7 reading apps compared

Can I import my Goodreads library?

Yes. Export your library from Goodreads as a CSV file, then import it into Chaptify, and your books come with you.

Does Chaptify use AI?

No. Chaptify's recommendations aren't produced by AI or machine learning, and nothing in the app is written by AI: no generated summaries, reviews or reading profiles.

Does missing a day break my reading streak?

No. Missing a single day won't break your Chaptify streak, so one busy day doesn't erase the progress you've already made. Research on habit formation points the same way: missing one day doesn't undo a habit you're building.

How reading streaks work, and what happens when you miss a day

What is the live reader map?

It's a real-time view showing where people around the world are currently in a reading session, so reading feels less solitary without turning into a social feed you have to maintain.

What does Chaptify Premium include?

Chaptify Premium is $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year, and adds advanced stats and history plus social reading features on top of everything in the free plan. Both are in-app purchases on the App Store.

Today's chapter is still unread.

Free forever, no cap on your library, and a streak that forgives the day you don't make it.
