Shelf · Reading journal

The books you own.
The readings you make.

Dousha is a catalogue of the shelf at home and a journal of what you read on it — paper or digital, on your device, with no account and no sign-up.

Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

Features

Four screens, four different documents

Each tab answers one question and none repeats another: what you own, what you are reading, what you have read, and how much.

  • Shelf

    Title, author, publisher, series, where it sits on the shelf and what it cost. Paper, epub, or a subscription you read on Kindle.

  • Sessions

    A timer, the page you stopped on and how far you got. No progress without a trace — the statistics and the shelf never disagree.

  • Diary

    Notes, quotes, photos and voice memos pinned to the book and the day. The timeline is the record, not a summary of it.

  • Numbers

    Pace, goals, reading streak and milestones. Worked out on the device, from what you recorded yourself.

  • Covers by camera

    Photograph a cover to add the book, or point at a shelf and find out which of them you already own. The recognition happens in here.

  • Labels and loans

    QR and NFC to stick on a book, and a record of who took what and since when.

Digital and serialised

Also for what is still being written

Manga, web novels and anything that comes out chapter by chapter get their own place: how many are out, how far you have read, and when the next one is expected.

And a digital book is not always a file. You can say whether it is an epub you hold, a licence bought from a store, or something you read on a subscription — because only one of the three is still yours when the subscription ends.

A list of ongoing works, each with how many new chapters are out and when the next one is due.
New chapters, without looking
