IN ONE SENTENCE

Excerpta is a book tracker that doubles as a reading journal: point your
camera at a page to keep a quote, and every book collects your quotes,
notes, progress and moods on one timeline.


WHAT IT DOES

- Keep quotes from the page. Point the camera at a page (or pick a few
  photos), then tap a paragraph to keep it whole or drag the highlighter
  across just the words you want. The text is read on the phone.
- A timeline for every book. Quotes, notes, reading sessions, photos and
  moods land on the book's own timeline, day by day.
- Every format on the same shelves: print, e-book and audiobook, owned,
  borrowed or gifted. Browse by book, author, character or series.
- Read EPUBs in the app, with search, themes and your own font. A
  highlight becomes a quote, and the reader logs your reading for you.
- Calendar shows each day you read as a cover, ringed by your mood.
  Stats shows books, pages, days, genres, ratings, moods and time to
  finish. Reading Nooks maps the places you read.
- Brings your books along: imports from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Kindle
  highlights, Kobo and Apple Books, and syncs both ways with Hardcover
  and KOReader.
- No account. The library lives on your device and in your own iCloud.
  Export to Markdown (one file per book) is free, with or without a plan.
- Widgets, a Screen Saver for your quotes while the phone charges, the
  Action button and Shortcuts.


WHO MAKES IT
