Readay reading journal app on iPhone: a week of postcards about The Alchemist and The Midnight Library, each stamped with how it felt

Write it down.

Voice note typed up as a thought about The Alchemist
Say it. It types itself up.
A photo of page 185 of The Midnight Library read into a saved quote
Snap the page, keep the quote.
A thought about The Alchemist stamped seen and mysterious
Stamp how it left you.
A shelf of reads with their covers: reading and finished
Every read on one shelf.
The Odyssey's page with the reading timer running
Time a sitting, if you want.
A month of reading days, each wearing the stamp it used most
Watch the month fill in.
Your year: days read, hours and reads finished, twelve months of dots
See your year.

Questions.

What is Readay?

A reading journal for iPhone. When a line, a theory or a feeling lands, keep it as a postcard: a thought or a quote about what you're reading, with up to two stamps for how it felt. Your journal is one feed of postcards, newest first.

Is Readay a Goodreads alternative?

If you want a private one, yes. There are no star ratings, no reviews and no feed. Stamps like cozy, shook or bittersweet say how a read felt, and the journal is for you alone.

How do I save quotes from a book?

Tap +, switch the paper to a quote, and type the line with its page. Or take a photo of the page and pick the words: it's read on your phone and the photo isn't kept.

Can I talk instead of typing?

Yes. Tap the mic and say what you thought. It's typed up on your phone as you speak. The audio is never kept and never leaves the phone.

What about spoilers?

Select the words and mark them as a spoiler. They stay blurred in your journal until you tap them.

What's free, and what's in Readay Pro?

The journal is free: two new postcards a day, five voice notes and five page scans a week, and 25 reads on the shelf. Readay Pro lifts all four, with 30 days free to try it.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up. Your journal stays on your phone and syncs through your own iCloud.

Will it nag me about streaks?

No. Miss a day and nothing happens. Your journal is a record, not a scoreboard.

Is there an Android version?

No. Readay is iPhone only.
