BookSweep Get on App Store

For students with too many books on the syllabus

BookSweep Today screen showing a daily list of reading sessions across business and marketing courses

Sunday night, you stare at the syllabus.

Six books. Three classes. Eleven weeks left. You do the math in your head and it doesn't go well.

So you skim. You skip. You hit the week before finals carrying a backlog you can't actually catch up on — and your grades show it.

BookSweep does the math for you, every day, automatically.

How it works

Three steps. Then just open the app.

Define your semester

Start date, end date, and which days of the week you actually read. Saturdays off? Done.

Add your books

Scan the ISBN on the back, or type it in. BookSweep pulls the title, author, and page count automatically.

Read what's on Today

Each morning, a calm list of exactly what to read, by book, by page range. Knock it out and move on.

Designed to disappear

No streaks. No badges. No noise.

BookSweep is built like a calm reading checklist, not a game. The only number on the home screen is the page range you're reading today.

Schedule view grouped by behind / today / upcoming
Library view with course color dots and book progress bars
Book detail showing pages-read stepper and progress
Session detail with page range and mark complete button

What's inside

Built for the way reading actually goes.

Auto-reflow when life happens

Skip a Tuesday? BookSweep redistributes the missed pages across your remaining reading days. No guilt math.

ISBN scanner

Point the camera at the back of the book. Title, author, and page count fill in from Open Library.

Per-course color coding

A small color dot tells you which class each session belongs to, without screaming for attention.

Catch-up mode

A single tap turns "I'm 80 pages behind" into a plan that finishes on time.

Custom due dates

Got a midterm on chapters 1–9 by week six? Set a per-book due date and the schedule respects it.

Local only

Your reading list lives on your device. No account, no sync server, no tracking, no analytics.

Why we built it

"I had eight books due in eleven weeks. I needed a tool that did the math, then got out of the way. Nothing did. So I built BookSweep."

— D. Riner, builder

Questions, answered.

Is this a subscription? +

No. BookSweep is $1.99 once. You own it.

Do I need an account? +

No. Everything is stored on your device. There's no login, no email, no server we send your reading data to.

What if my book isn't in any database? +

Type the title, author, and page count yourself. The whole flow takes about ten seconds.

Does it work for grad school / seminary / law / med reading loads? +

Yes. The scheduler doesn't care if it's six books or sixteen. Add them all and it'll distribute.

iPad? +

Yes. Universal. One purchase covers iPhone and iPad.

Notifications? Reminders? +

Not in v1. The app is built around opening it deliberately, not getting nagged. Reminders may come in a future update.
