─── THE STORY

Books deserve a finish line.

Reading is one of those quiet hobbies that gets lost in the noise. You start a book, set it down, pick up another. By the end of the year you can't remember half of what you read, let alone celebrate it.

I built Chaptered because the existing tools either treat reading like a chore (Goodreads-style logging) or a social performance. I wanted something that just sits in your pocket, gently nudges you forward, and makes finishing a chapter feel like the small win it actually is.

─── WHAT IT DOES

Track What You're Reading

Currently reading, finished, want-to-read. Simple lists, no clutter. Progress per book in pages or percent.

Celebrate Small Wins

Streaks, milestones, an end-of-year recap. The dopamine of finishing a chapter — captured and remembered.

Find Your Next Read

Suggestions based on what you actually liked, not what an algorithm thinks you'll click on. Patterns from your own history.

─── HOW IT WORKS
01

Add

Scan a barcode, search a title, or import a list. The book lands in your library in seconds.

02

Track

Log progress as you read. Quick taps — no friction, no journaling commitments unless you want them.

03

Finish

Mark complete, rate it, watch the streak grow. Look back at the end of the year and feel something.

─── BUILT WITH

Built with React Native and Expo for a single codebase across iOS and Android. Books are pulled from the Google Books API; everything else stays on-device — no accounts, no sync servers. PostHog provides anonymous analytics, mostly so I could feel the full cycle of shipping a published app and actually paying attention to how it's used.
