Free book-tracking app
Serious Endeavor is free.
Track what you read.
A quiet place to track your books, rate and review them, set a yearly reading goal, and share what you're reading now. It works right in your web browser — nothing to download, no app store.
Easy to add books
Start a new book in seconds, however you like to do it.
Scan the barcode
Point your camera at the barcode on the back of the book and it's added — cover and all.
Search by title or author
Type a title or an author and pick your book from the results.
Just type it in
For older or unusual books that aren't in any catalog, add the details yourself in a few seconds.
Made for everyday reading
Built around how people actually read — not a database chore.
Your daily reading page
Home shows what you're reading now with a one-tap progress update, what's up next, and what you finished lately — stars and all. Rearrange the cards however you like.
Shelves that make sense
Currently reading, Want to read, Finished, and Did not finish. Your whole library is searchable and easy to browse.
Rate and review
Give every book a star rating, write a short review, and share any book as a link — your rating and review travel with it.
Share what you're reading
Your Now page is a public page that shows what you're reading right now, your reading goal, and your finished books. It lives at an address like seriousendeavor.com/now/@username — share it anywhere: your website, your newsletter, your social profiles.
Here's what a Now page looks like
Now reading
@reader2026 reading goal
An example — your page fills in with your own books and your own goal.
Optional
Become a Supporter
Serious Endeavor is free, and it stays free. If you'd like to support it, a one-time $10 makes you a Supporter — and adds a few extras to your Now page:
- Your own web address for your Now page — like
now.yourname.com. - Make it yours — change how your Now page looks with your own styles.
- No bookstore links — the links that earn us a small commission are removed from your page.
One payment, no subscription. Supporter is handled inside the app.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Track your books, rate and review them, set reading goals, and publish your Now page without paying anything. Supporter is an optional one-time $10 for people who want to support the app and get a few extras.
Does it work on my phone and my computer?
Yes. Sign in once with your email — we'll send you a quick code — and your whole library syncs across your phone, tablet, and computer.
What if I'm offline?
Your library lives on your device, so you can log books and update your progress with no connection at all.
What does Supporter include?
Three extras for your Now page: your own web address (like now.yourname.com), your own styling, and no commission-earning bookstore links. One payment of $10, no subscription.
How does the custom web address work?
If you own a web address, you can point it at your Now page so visitors see it there instead.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Serious Endeavor opens in your web browser, and you can save it to your home screen so it feels like an app.
