Quieter than her others, and all the better for it. I read the last fifty pages twice.
Only your friends
A reading tracker for iPhone
A private book tracker, open to the people you choose.
Log every book you read, rate it in half stars, and decide review by review who sees what you thought: everyone, your friends, or only you.
Coming soon to iPhoneFree, and your Goodreads library comes with you.
Private reviews, your way
Choose who sees each review.
Keep a review to yourself, share it with friends, or post it for everyone. Every review and rating has its own audience, and you can change it whenever you like. Shelves and your reading have one too.
Who sees this review?
Readers you've accepted as friends, and nobody else.
Coming from Goodreads
Switch from Goodreads in minutes.
Your shelves, ratings, reviews and reading dates come along. Export your Goodreads library on your computer and send the file to Ajar with a code from the app. Ajar matches each book and asks you only about the few it isn't sure of. Import again later and nothing is added twice.

Questions
Can I keep my book reviews private?
Yes. Every review and rating in Ajar is public, for friends only, or only for you, and you can change it whenever you like. Private notes on a book are always only yours.
Is Ajar a good Goodreads alternative?
If you want your reading somewhere quieter, yes. Ajar brings over your Goodreads shelves, ratings, reviews and reading dates, then adds an audience for every review, half-star ratings and private notes on every book.
Does Ajar have half-star ratings?
Yes. You can rate a book from half a star to five stars, in half-star steps.
How do I move my Goodreads library to Ajar?
On goodreads.com, open My Books, choose Import and export under Tools, then Export Library. In Ajar, choose Import from Goodreads and send the file from your computer with the code the app shows. Importing again later never adds a book twice.
Is Ajar free?
Yes. Tracking, importing, reviews, shelves, friends and sharing are free. An optional subscription, Ajar Plus, will add detailed reading stats.
Is Ajar on Android?
Not yet. Ajar is coming to iPhone first.
Leave the door ajar.
Ajar is coming to the App Store. Your library will be ready when you are.
