Private Book Tracking App: No Social Feed, No Ads, No Noise
A private book tracking app does one thing: it helps you keep track of what you're reading, without turning your reading life into a public performance. Leaf is a private book tracking app built on a single premise: your reading is yours. No followers, no public shelves, no social ranking, no algorithm deciding what you should read next.
Private and free
Track books without the social noise. Leaf works offline, requires no account, and never sells your data.
No social feed, no followers, no pressure
Most book-tracking apps are social networks with a reading tracker bolted on. They show you what your friends are reading, surface popularity rankings, and reward you for writing reviews. That's not a bad product, but it's not for every reader. Leaf has no social features. There are no followers, no public profiles, no feeds, no likes. What you read is not a performance. Leaf is a tool for readers who want to track their books, not broadcast them. If you're switching from a social tracker, see how Leaf compares as a Goodreads alternative.
No Amazon, no sponsored recommendations
Leaf is not affiliated with Amazon, Goodreads, or any bookseller. There are no sponsored recommendations, no "buy this book" prompts tied to your reading data, no store integration. When you add a book to Leaf, you're not being sold to. The app doesn't use what you read to target you with advertising.
Works offline, no account required
All your data is stored locally on your device. You don't need to create an account, verify an email, or connect to a server to start tracking your reading. Leaf works in airplane mode, in a cabin with no signal, in the subway. Every reading session you log is saved immediately to your phone, not to a cloud server you don't control.
Your data stays on your device
Leaf's default mode is local-first. Nothing is sent to any server unless you explicitly choose Leaf Pro and enable cloud sync. You can use the app for years, log thousands of pages, and your data never leaves your device unless you want it to. The export is always available. Download your entire library as a CSV at any time.
Optional: Leaf Pro for cloud sync
For readers who want their library accessible across multiple devices or backed up to the cloud, Leaf Pro adds encrypted cloud sync. It's optional, not required. The full app, including reading streaks, goals, and stats, is free forever. Leaf Pro is for readers who want more convenience, not more features.
