Readnauts
Help everyone in your family build a reading habit that lasts.
Readnauts keeps one simple record of every book your family reads, at every age and in every format: library, school, audiobook, bedtime story. Then it turns that into gentle, shared encouragement, so kids and grown-ups keep going together.
Your kids read everywhere. The proof lives nowhere.
Library books, school books, graphic novels, audiobooks, bedtime stories. The reading happens, but it's scattered. The momentum fades, and there's no shared sense of how the family is doing.
Readnauts keeps one simple record for everyone, then turns it into encouragement to keep going, so reading becomes a normal part of home, with less nagging and more reading together.
Just type what they read.
Readnauts fills in the rest.
No exact title? No page count? No problem. Type a messy note and watch it become a clean book card: cover, author, pages and a reread check, all sorted for you.
Everyone makes real progress,
from the 5-year-old to the grown-ups.
Gentle, age-aware scoring means a phonics book, a chapter book and an audiobook each feel like a genuine win. No one is left behind, and no one runs away with it. It's encouragement, not a contest.

Example weights, fully tunable by a grown-up: early reader 2× · bridge 1.5× · chapter 1.2× · fluent 1× · audiobook 0.85×. The point isn't perfect math; it's that everyone feels proud to keep reading.
Pick a world your family will want to come back to.
Readnauts isn't a spreadsheet. It's a place. Choose a reading world and the whole app (and this page) takes on its colors. Tap one to try it now.
13 worlds in the app, with light & dark for every one. More on the way.
A place your family will want to open.
Home, each reader's library, shared quests, the family view, and a brag poster to print and share.
Every book belongs to the reader, and stays with them.
Books belong to the reader, not to a program or a school year. The shelf builds up over time, sorted by reader, series, audiobooks, read-alouds, favorites and rereads, and it's always yours to keep and export.
Years from now, you'll be glad you kept it.
Readnauts quietly turns everyday logging into a keepsake of your family's reading life, theirs to look back on long after any program or school year ends.
Year in Review
A shareable recap of the year: the most-read reader, books and pages, milestones reached and favorite books, month by month.
Reading timeline
Scroll back through every month, with the books each reader finished and the milestones they hit along the way.
Printable certificates
Celebrate a 100th book or a finished read-a-thon with an award you can print and pin to the fridge.
Shared quests that pull the family along.
Summer goals, read-aloud months, library hauls, weekend sprints. Every book logged moves the family forward on a shared map. Invite cousins or close friends with a code, to cheer each other on, never to rank the kids.
Pick a goal
Summer reading, a read-aloud month, a library haul. Make it personal and time-bound.
Move together
Everyone contributes to the shared goal. Every book logged nudges the family forward.
Celebrate milestones
Glowing checkpoints, badges and little surprises keep the momentum kind and fun.
See what's working, gently.
Readnauts notices patterns and momentum: who's on a roll, who could use a nudge, and simple next-book ideas like “more like this.”
He reads more when he can stay in a world he already knows, so keep the next one handy.
Short books are working. Keep the wins coming before leveling up.
A small Saturday library ritual could anchor the habit.
One nonfiction pick this week would add a little variety.

Built around how reading habits really form.
Readnauts leans on two simple, well-understood ideas, and stays out of the way of the reading itself.
Small, steady wins beat big distant goals
Habits stick when progress is frequent and attainable. Short books count, streaks are kind, and goals are broken into milestones you actually reach, so momentum keeps building instead of stalling.
Reading grows when families do it together
Children read more when the grown-ups around them read too, model it, and encourage rather than test. Readnauts is built for the whole household, parents and kids on the same shelf, and keeps reflection gentle, never a quiz.
These are guiding principles behind the design, not clinical claims. Readnauts is a tool to support your family's reading, not a substitute for it.
A family habit, not a reading program.
It belongs to your reader, not an institution.
School and library programs end when the program ends. With Readnauts, the library is the reader's. It carries on year after year, and any read-a-thon or challenge is just a view over it.
It's personal and emotional, not a scoreboard.
There's a social side: brag posters to celebrate, and codes to invite close family and friends. But the intent is to inspire each other as a family, never to rank kids against one another.
It fits every age and every format.
Picture books, chapter books, comics, audiobooks, read-alouds, all in one place, scored fairly, so the youngest reader and a parent can share the same shelf.
Already doing a library or school reading program?
Keep doing it. Library summer challenges and Beanstack-style programs are wonderful, and free. Readnauts is not here to replace them. It is the home record that holds it all, before, during, and long after.
Log your library program here too.
Track the summer reading challenge in Readnauts as you go, so those books count toward your family's own library and goals, not just the program.
Keep the memory after the program ends.
Programs finish and their logs disappear. The reading you did stays in Readnauts, year after year.
Print a log for school or the librarian.
A clean reading report for any date range, with a parent sign-off line, ready for a read-a-thon, a teacher, or homeschool records.
A gentle lock, just for the grown-ups.
Kids can read, explore and log freely. A grown-up PIN keeps the things that change family data (adding or deleting books, editing members) safely behind a tap, so nothing gets undone by accident.
You choose exactly what to protect. Changing worlds and exploring always stay open and fun.
Start with the habit. Grow into reflection.
Reading shouldn't feel like homework. Readnauts starts simple, then grows with your family, at your pace.
Just log it
Type a messy note. That's the whole habit to start.
