ReadNest — Complete Reading Operating System
More than a book list. ReadNest connects your library, reading sessions, pace, goals, series, reviews, notes, lending and book spending in one private app that lives on your device.
One place for your whole reading life
Use the live timer when you read, record page progress, watch your reading pace and WPM develop, keep series in order, write detailed reviews, save notes and quotes, manage reading goals, track books you lend out and understand what you spend on books. Everything is stored locally in your browser rather than sent to a GentleTools account or cloud database.
Reading Dashboard
See books finished, tracked pages and time, reading streak, weekly pace, active books and year-end forecast at a glance.
Library & TBR
Track Want to Read, Reading, Finished and DNF books with pages, ratings, formats, priorities, rereads and notes.
Live Reading Timer
Start, pause and finish a reading session, then log time and page progress directly into the selected book.
Deep Reading Analytics
Track WPM, pages per hour, focus score, reading consistency, best reading times, personal records, formats and genre patterns.
Series Tracker
Connect books to a series, keep their order, see progress through the series and know which book is next.
Detailed Reviews
Rate plot, characters, writing and pacing separately, with favorite quotes, spoiler-free summaries and hidden spoiler notes.
Goals & Challenges
Set yearly books, weekly minutes, daily pages, streak, TBR and DNF goals, plus your own reading challenges.
Notes & Quotes
Keep a private commonplace book of quotes, ideas, notes and action items linked to a book and page.
Book Lending
Track who borrowed a book, when it was lent, its due date and when it comes back.
Book Budget
Track purchases and subscriptions, spending by format, monthly spend and recorded cost per finished book.
Goodreads Import
Import a Goodreads library CSV, including shelf status, rating, pages, date read and review text where available.
Local-first Data Safety
Works offline in one HTML file with backup/restore, CSV export, separate demo data and 3-step Trash protection.
How it works
- Buy once and open the included HTML app in a modern browser.
- Start with an empty private workspace, load the separate demo, or import a Goodreads CSV.
- Add books and optionally connect them to series, goals, reviews, notes, loans and spending.
- Use the reading timer or manual sessions to build your personal pace and analytics.
- Download regular JSON backups so your local data can be restored or moved to another device.
Works offline after download. No account, no subscription and no cloud database required.
