Openreads

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!
