In short

Niovela is an education app for logging and tracking your reading, with a library, progress goals, statistics, and reviews. It works free of ads and without an account, keeping your library on the device, and it can import Goodreads or StoryGraph exports. One notable point is that it works offline and never shows users as falling behind.

About

Niovela is a calm, private place for your reading life. Log the books you read, follow your progress, keep the lines worth keeping and watch your year in books take shape. Your life in books.

It is free, with no ads and nothing to upgrade to. You don't need an account to start: your library lives on your device.

YOUR LIBRARY • Reading, finished, want to read or abandoned: every book in its place • Page progress, start and finish dates, star ratings, emotions and private notes • Rereads count as new reads, without losing the first one • Search by title, author or ISBN, or scan the barcode with your camera • Book pages with synopsis, similar books, more by the same author and the rest of the series

PROGRESS WITHOUT PRESSURE • A yearly reading goal that fills as you go • A daily reading streak and an activity heatmap • Statistics for all time, a year, a month or a week: books, pages, pace, genres, authors and ratings • A year-in-review card and achievements that show how close you are to the next one

Niovela celebrates what you read. It never makes you feel behind.

REVIEWS, QUOTES AND LISTS • Write a full review or a single line, with spoiler warnings • Save your favorite quotes and share them as an image • Create your own lists, or save Niovela's curated lists with one tap • Read together: invite friends to a shared list and see where each of you is • Follow authors and readers, and translate reviews written in other languages

BRING YOUR BOOKS WITH YOU • Import the CSV you export from Goodreads or The StoryGraph; shelves become private lists and reviews arrive private • Export everything as JSON or CSV whenever you want • Your library, stats and streak work offline

PRIVACY YOU CONTROL Without an account, your library stays on your device. With one, you choose what your profile shows: reviews, quotes and who you follow each have their own switch, and any review can stay private. A free account is optional: create one with Google or email to sync between devices, publish reviews and read with friends. You can delete your account from the app at any time.

7 LANGUAGES English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian and Polish. Dark, light or automatic theme.
