AI Native Reading Tracker
Chat that structures your reading life and connects it to everything else
Features
Reading Tracker
Log your reading sessions in any increment (pages, chapters, or audiobook time) and Arbory keeps your progress, dates, and reading history for every book, including re-reads.
The whole app works through conversation. Log reading sessions, capture notes, look things up, ask questions about what you've read — all from the same thread.
Note Taking
Capture thoughts, quotes, and annotations in seconds. Every note is filed with its book automatically.
Snap a page, crop the section, and Arbory turns it into a clean, searchable quote.
Library & Stats
See what you're reading, what's next, and what you've finished.
See your reading month over month and year over year, as well as streaks, trends, and insights into your reading habits.
Data Management
Assistants like Claude and ChatGPT are where all your other data already connects, Arbory brings your reading and notes to the same place.
Export everything, books, sessions, and notes, whenever you want. It's your reading life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Arbory?
Arbory is an app that helps you track your reading and keep all your book notes in one place. Capture thoughts while you read, organize them by book, and connect them to the other tools you use.
In AI terms, Arbory is a component of your personal knowledge layer that's specifically built for your reading life.
What does AI Native mean?
AI native means something built from the ground up with AI as its foundation, not AI features added to an existing product or process. AI is at the core of how Arbory functions, how you interact with the app, how it organizes information, and how it connects things together. Without AI, the app doesn't work.
What does it cost?
There's no cost currently. We're just looking for beta users and good feedback!
Why not just use ChatGPT or Claude?
Those are great for thinking, but they're not systems of record. Notes you create in those tools get buried in conversation history, have no structure, no library, no way to see your reading life in one place, and no clean way to get it all back out.
Arbory is built to store your reading, every book, session, note, and quote as structured data. You can then interact with your data using the chat in the app, or connect it to your preferred assistant that connects to all your other data.
Why is Arbory better than other reading trackers (Goodreads, The Storygraph, etc)?
It might not be, "better" is subjective to preference and goal.
If these resonate with you, you'll probably like Arbory:
- Fewer clicks, less manual entry
- Reading sessions and notes logged in plain language that organize themselves
- Notes that connect across every book in your library
- Your reading life connected into your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) alongside everything else you use
