Book tracker and book club
Read together, at your own pace.
Riverbound tracks the books you own, how far you've read and your book clubs, all in one place. Read your own copy, log your page as you go, and only see the talk about pages you've reached.

What it does
Everything you read, in one place.
Track your books, read with friends, and keep every club conversation close by.
Your library
Shelves for the books you own, the ones you've saved for later and the ones you've finished, with your progress and a yearly reading goal.
Add books fast
Scan a barcode, scan a whole stack at once, type an ISBN or search by title.
Book clubs
Start or join a club, vote on what to read next, plan meetings and talk it through in the club chat.
Buddy reads
Read a book with friends. Everyone keeps their own place, and the discussion only shows what you've reached.
Discover
See what your friends recommend and finish, and find books that are popular with people you follow.
Messages
Message friends, start group chats, and keep every club and buddy read conversation together.
Buddy reads
Read with friends, no spoilers.
Pick a book and invite friends to read it with you. Everyone keeps their own place in the book, and the discussion only shows messages from the parts you've reached.
- Your place only moves forward. Log progress by page or percent, and your spot in the discussion follows.
- Shared with your group only. The people in that buddy read can see how far you are. No one else can.
- Later messages wait for you. Anything posted past your place stays hidden until you get there.

Book clubs
Your club, all in one place.
Start a club or join one. Choose the next book together, plan your meetings, and keep talking in between.
- Vote on what's next. Members nominate books and give each one a thumbs up or down, and the list ranks itself.
- Meetings with RSVPs. Set a time and a book, and see who's coming. Your next meeting waits at the top of your clubs.
- A chat for every club. Talk it over between meetings, right beside everything else.

Adding books
Scan the whole stack, not one at a time.
Point your camera at a barcode and Riverbound looks the book up for you. Brought home a pile? Scan them one after another, then add them all at once.
- Barcode or printed ISBN. No barcode on an older paperback? Take a photo of the ISBN on the copyright page instead.
- Made for real shelves. A guide box, a flashlight and zoom help with dim rooms and small print.
- Nothing is added until you say so. Every scan waits in a list first, with Undo for the one you didn't mean.
Import from Goodreads and other reading apps, so your shelves come with you.

Privacy
You decide who sees what.
Your library, your reviews and your reading activity each have their own setting.
Library
The books you own, the ones you want and the ones you've finished.
Only you · Friends · Everyone
Reviews
What you recommend, and what wasn't for you.
Only you · Friends · Everyone
Reading activity
Your reading goal and your progress through each book.
Only you · Friends · Everyone
"Everyone" means people signed in to Riverbound. Blocking someone overrides all of these settings, and following someone never opens up anything private. You can report any message, review, profile or club from inside the app.
