Reading journal for Android
Save books, collect quotes, and build your personal reading journal. Your library lives on your device — no account required to get started.
Free to use · No Play Store · Android 8.0+
Everything you need
Built for readers who want a simple, beautiful place to capture thoughts — not another productivity app.
Books, quotes, and notes are stored locally — no account needed. Adding and reading your library works without internet. Cover art, ISBN lookup, and cross-device sync require a connection.
Save quotes with page numbers, add personal notes, and keep every meaningful passage in one place.
Use @ mentions to link quotes across different books and build a web of connected ideas.
Find any book or quote instantly. Filter by title, author, or search across all your saved text.
Mark your best books and quotes as favorites for quick access to the passages that matter most.
Track your library size and quote count over time with simple, at-a-glance reading stats.
App preview
A quiet, focused reading companion — here's how it works, one piece at a time.
Your library
Your shelf, your latest quotes, and reading status all live on the home screen. Search across everything, filter by genre or author, mark favorites, and pick up right where you left off.
Quotes & references
Save a quote with its page number and add your own thoughts. Link it to other books in your library with @-mentions — free for everyone. Edit any quote later; everything stays in sync.
ProConnect one quote directly to another — quote-to-quote cross-references are a Pro feature.
Share
Export any quote as a clean, beautiful image — with or without your notes — or copy it as plain text. Every card carries a subtle ZenRead mark, ready for wherever you post it.
Make it yours
ZenRead ships with ten hand-tuned themes, light and dark. Tap a swatch to preview the app — in the real thing you can switch anytime from Settings → Appearance.
