About this episode

This episode discusses the Openreads app for tracking reading habits and managing book lists.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. Openreads is a privacy oriented and open source cross-platform app written in Flutter available for Android and iOS for keeping track of your books. There are four lists provided so you won't get confused: books you finished, books you are currently reading, books you want to read later, books you didn't finish. You can use custom tags and filter through them. A book can be added by: looking it up in the Open Library database, scanning its barcode, adding its details manually. You can also view some cool statistics! Links: Battletech: Mercenary's Star by William H.
