Kiveo: Book & Reading Journal

1.3.0 is here. Scan a line from any printed page and keep it. Set a private reading intention, or don't. And every re-read now has a place of its own.

A quiet corner for readers.

Kiveo is a reading tracker for people who want to enjoy their books without the noise. No feeds, no pressure, nothing to keep alive - just a calm, private space for your reading life.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Track your reading sessions Start a Live Session when you sit down to read. Your time and progress appear on your Lock Screen through Live Activity, so you never need to leave the moment. Forgot to track? Add the session afterwards.

Capture quotes with your camera Point your camera at a printed page and Kiveo lifts the text for you. No typing, no losing your place. Saved lines stay with the book they came from.

Build your personal library Organize books onto custom shelves. Scan a barcode to add a book instantly, or search by title, author, or ISBN. Swap editions or covers without losing your notes or progress.

Keep your next reads close Your Nightstand holds up to seven books - the ones you're reaching for next. A short, intentional list instead of an endless backlog.

Set an intention, or don't Choose a gentle reading intention if it helps you. Leave it alone if it doesn't. Intentions are private, optional, and you can end one at any time without a record of having stopped.

Read a book again Kiveo keeps every reading of a book, not just the last one. Return to an old favorite and it remembers both the first time and this time.

Remember what moved you Save reflections and quotes as you read. We keep them alongside the book, so you can revisit what stayed with you.

Read at your own pace Set a gentle daily reminder - once a day at most, and you can pause it whenever you like. Mark a book Paused or Did Not Finish without guilt. Not every book needs finishing.

See how you read Reading stats that describe your habits without grading them. Pages, minutes, sessions, and books, laid out plainly.

Discover what's next Browse picks from our garden. Thoughtful suggestions, whenever you're ready for them.
