Embertale Live

Embertale is the reading app that knows your taste. Track what you read, tame your TBR, and get recommendations that actually fit you. Free, no ads, and your data is never sold. BUILT AROUND YOUR TASTE Every book you log sharpens your reading profile. Embertale learns the genres, moods, and pacing you love, then recommends books with a clear reason for every pick. MEET SPARK, YOUR READING ASSISTANT Find personalized recommendations, sort out your TBR, or chat about any book without spoilers. Ask for "a cozy mystery under 300 pages", tell it to add all Harry Potter books to your shelf or the top 10 hottest romantasy, talk through an ending of a philosophical book, tell it how to organize your shelves or ask it to suggest an organization. Anything you can do manually in the app, Spark can do in a sentence. (Don't like AI? It's also easy to opt out!) SEARCH LIKE YOU TALK, OR BY VIBE "Astronaut stranded on Mars." "Fantasy about an epic heist." "Easy reads under 250 pages." "Cozy winter reads". Describe the book you want and Embertale finds it. Turn any search into a smart collection that keeps itself up to date as your library grows. A TBR YOU CAN ACTUALLY MANAGE Beautiful shelves and collections, smart collections that fill themselves from rules you describe in simple language, and series tracking that knows every volume, even the ones not released yet. Want to select your own cover or edition for a book? No problem! Audiobooks supported, of course. DISCOVER YOUR TBR Our discovery features allow you to find new and trending releases, or just browsing by genre (filtered by era if wanted), but we also allow you to uncover what's already there in your TBR. "If you are in the mood for more existential Sci-Fi, try this book from your TBR", "If you loved the plot twists at the end of X, try Y", 10 complete personalized recommendations from the depths of your TBR, based on what you already finished, refreshed daily. YOUR READING LIFE VISUALIZED Reading heatmaps, genre mix, pages per day, complexity breakdowns, a timeline of every book you've read, a calendar month breakdown of your reads. These are just some of the graphs we have. Set goals at your own pace and earn tiered achievements from bronze to platinum. We work on a reward basis, not punishment basis. Lost your streak? If you want, you can log a day retroactively and restore it, we won't judge! LOVELY COMMUNITY, PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No leaderboards, and no public profile unless you turn one on. Follow friends if you like, or keep your reading life entirely to yourself. If you do follow your friends, you can track their reading activity in a beautiful feed. Want to highlight some shelves you are proud of? Let's do it. Want to showcase your full library, or hide anything? Also possible! Embertale lets you take full control over what you share. DEEP BOOK INSIGHTS Moods, accolades, reviews, a 10-dimensional review (worldbuilding, prose, emotional depth, narration, character growth, plot twists, pacing, and 2 tailored dimensions per book!), how familiar you are with this genre, a "feel & match" panel that lets you know whether this book would suit your known tastes or not and what to look out for, thematic and linguistic complexity, how long we expect you will need for this book based on your average velocity, books similar to this one, the list goes on. You can tag books with your own custom made tags as well. SWITCHING IS EASY Take a picture of your bookshelf or import your Goodreads or StoryGraph library in minutes, and export everything back whenever you want. We don't lock in your data, if you want to move somewhere else, that's fine. SO MUCH MORE There is so much more going on at Embertale that is too much to describe. We're crazy feature complete and deliver new features daily. Embertale is made by an indie team for the love of it. No ads, no data selling, no catch. We are not for profit. Don't like AI?
