Leaf & Spine: Reader & Tracker

Your library, your shelf, your reading habit.

Leaf & Spine is a calm, distraction-free home for your EPUBs, PDFs, comics and audiobooks. Arrange them on a 3D bookshelf, read with highlights, notes and drawings, listen with the screen off, and watch a daily reading habit take shape. Read for free, or upgrade to Premium for stats, focus sessions, backups and your own servers.

BRING IN YOUR BOOKS

• Read EPUB, PDF, CBZ and CBR, and listen to audiobooks. Audiobooks require Premium.
• Add a whole folder at once, or pick files yourself.
• Discover free public-domain books and audiobooks from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks and LibriVox.
• Connect your own server (Premium): Calibre, Calibre-Web, Kavita, Komga, Audiobookshelf, or a WebDAV folder such as Nextcloud or a NAS. Browse it, search it as you type, and download books to read offline.

READ YOUR WAY

• Highlight, take notes, draw with pen, pencil and highlighter, and look words up in the dictionary or translator.
• Listen: the page is read aloud with the sentence lit up, using natural voices made on your device, and an EPUB that comes with a recording plays the narrator.
• Focus mode for reading a sentence at a time, and a reading ruler.
• Presets, typefaces (including Atkinson Hyperlegible and OpenDyslexic), heading styles and page-turn speed. Premium readers can import their own fonts.

AUDIOBOOKS THAT KEEP PLAYING

• Keep listening with your phone locked or while you use another app, with play, pause and skip on the lock screen.
• Chapters, bookmarks, notes, speed and a sleep timer that works with the screen off.

ORGANISE YOUR SHELF

• A 3D bookshelf with categories, sub-categories, tags and series, sorted and grouped by author or series, with bookends you can fold into a box set.
• Spines take their colour from each book's cover, or customise spines, patterns and covers yourself.
• A page for every book: progress, the next in its series, description, chapters and your marks.
• Fix a book's details, or fill them in from Open Library (Premium).
• The Notebook gathers every highlight, note, drawing and looked-up word from your whole library, and one search covers it all.

BUILD A HABIT

• Goals in minutes a day or days a week, reminders at a time you choose, and streak freezes so one missed day doesn't erase months.
• Home follows the series you are reading, and finishing a book offers the next one.
• Home screen widgets with your current book and a highlight worth rereading.
• Premium stats: time read and listened, pages, chapters, books finished, genres, highlights and words looked up, by week, month, year or all time.

FOCUS SESSIONS (Premium)

• Set a timer and read inside an immersive environment: a fireplace, a beach, a waterfall or a rainy window, each with its own ambience and music, which keep playing with the screen locked.

YOUR PLACE, EVERYWHERE (Premium)

• Back up automatically to iCloud or Google Drive, and keep your place across your devices.
• Sync your progress with Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita and KOReader.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No account or sign-up needed to start reading.
• Your books, highlights, notes and progress stay on your device. Backups go to your own iCloud or Google Drive, never to our servers.
• Six themes, light and dark (two free), and the app in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

PERFECT FOR

• Students who highlight, draw and track study time.
• Fiction readers who want EPUBs and audiobooks in one place.
• Comic and manga readers with CBZ and CBR collections.
• Anyone with a Calibre, Kavita, Komga or Audiobookshelf library.
