Notes pinned to the page
Each note remembers the page, or the minute of an audiobook, where you wrote it. A book's notebook reads in page order, and you can search it.
Reading journal app
A book journal that keeps itself.
Write a thought on page 142 and it stays on page 142. BookWorm keeps your notes, your reading days and every book you finish, so the journal writes itself while you read.
What your journal holds
Everything a paper book journal asks you to copy out by hand, kept as you go.
A calendar of reading days
Every day you read gets a mark and every book you finish gets a gold ring. Tap a day to see what you read.
Every book, with its dates
Start and finish dates, pauses, re-reads, genres and favourites. Your shelf filters by year, format and genre, so last summer's books are one tap away.
A recap every month
On the first of the month, BookWorm shows what you read the month before. Finished books can be shared as a vintage library checkout card.
Write while you read, not after.
The best line in a book is easiest to keep in the moment you read it. Start a reading session, and a note is one tap away without leaving the timer. Close the session without logging pages and your notes still stay.
Your journal is yours: it syncs through your own iCloud account, and you can export the whole library, notes included, from Settings at any time.

Is BookWorm a reading journal or a reading tracker?
Both. It tracks your page, your goal and your streak, and it keeps the journal side: notes on each book, the days you read, and when you started and finished.
Can I write notes on audiobooks?
Yes. A note on an audiobook is pinned to the hour and minute you were at, the same way a note on a paper book is pinned to a page.
Can I search my notes?
Yes. Each book's notebook has a search field that looks through the text of your notes and their pages.
Can I get my journal out of the app?
Yes. Settings has Export Data, which saves your whole library, reading history and notes as a file you keep. Import reads it back.
I like writing by hand. Is there a paper version?
There's a printable reading log on the reading log page, with a page for your books, a year of reading days and a page for notes.
