A clean, modern desktop app for tracking your books and reading progress

Bookeeper is a clean, modern desktop application designed for tracking books and reading progress.

Background

- **Bookeeper** is a free, open-source desktop application (made with Tauri and React) for personal book tracking and reading-log management. - It is not a store or a social network; it is a local-first tool aimed at people who want a cleaner, more modern alternative to services like Goodreads or The StoryGraph, without relying on a third-party cloud platform. - The project was created by a solo developer (Vahid R.) and is hosted on GitHub. It is relatively new and niche, not backed by a company. - This matters because many readers are frustrated by Goodreads' dated interface, Amazon ownership, and lack of privacy, and are looking for self-hosted or local options that give them full control over their reading data.
