The Reading Tracker Goes AI: New App Organizes Your Books and Summaries for You

A fast‑growing reading app is making headlines abroad by blending classic reading logs with AI‑generated summaries. Think of it as a cross between a book‑tracking service and a personal summarizer: it keeps a record of everything you read—print, ebooks and audiobooks—and turns your highlights into concise takeaways.

Adding a book is simple: snap a photo of the cover or scan its ISBN barcode, and the app pulls title and author data from online catalogues. Once you’re done reading, it looks at your highlights and notes, then drafts a multi‑paragraph summary in plain language. For business titles, it can output an “action list,” while novels can get a quick character map or relationship chart so you don’t forget who’s who.

Privacy, a sensitive issue for many heavy readers, is addressed with on‑device encryption of notes before anything hits the cloud. The app also uses your reading history to suggest what to pick up next, which reviewers say is especially useful for people who are always recommending books to others and want a better memory of what they’ve read.

Right now the interface supports English and several European languages. The team has said they’re exploring Japanese UI support and even vertical text layout, which would matter for local fiction. If that materializes, the app could appeal to Japanese readers who still love print but want a smarter way to archive and revisit their reading.
