Aura Reads

The offline-first tracker for power users. Sync Audiobookshelf, track true listening time, and visualize your habits in stunning OLED black. Zero lock-in.

Most reading trackers treat audiobooks as an afterthought, inflate your reading stats, and lock your data behind walled gardens.

Aura is different. Designed specifically for power readers and audiobook listeners, Aura is a premium, offline-first tracking dashboard that actually understands how you read.

Built on a stunning "OLED Deep Sea" aesthetic, Aura transforms your reading history into high-fidelity data visualizations. No ads. No social feed clutter. Just your library, your stats, and your data.

FEATURES DESIGNED FOR POWER USERS:

• True-Time Audiobook Math If you finish a 20-hour audiobook at 2x speed, you didn't read for 20 hours. Aura calculates your actual real-life listening time based on your playback speed, ensuring your daily stats and graphs are physically accurate.

• Audiobookshelf & Plex Sync Connect your self-hosted Audiobookshelf or Plex (Prologue) server. Aura automatically fetches your listening progress. If you forget to open the app for a few days, Aura’s "Time Travel" feature lets you cleanly distribute your missed listening hours across the calendar so your activity heatmap stays flawless.

• Deep Analytics & Data Viz Visualize your reading life. Aura features a GitHub-style activity heatmap, a rolling 6-month reading velocity chart, and a 5-dimension behavioral radar graph to map your specific reading profile.

• Bring Your Library Instantly import your CSV exports from Goodreads, StoryGraph, or Hardcover. Aura parses your history, automatically backfills missing book covers, and preserves your past reading streaks.

• The Oracle Not sure what to read next? Opt-in to The Oracle, a specialized AI recommendation engine that analyzes your exact taste filters (e.g., Hard Magic, Fast Pacing, Grimdark) and library history to surface the perfect next read.

• Total Data Sovereignty We believe in absolute anti-lock-in. Choose "Aura Cloud" for seamless cross-device sync, or select "Local Only" mode to ensure your database never touches the internet. When you're ready, use the One-Click Eject protocol to download your entire library and delete your cloud account instantly.

Take back your data and track your reading the right way.
