01 / MORE THAN FINISHING A BOOK

Some books end.
The good ones stay.

Keep more than a title on a list. Keep what it made you think.

A NOTE TO MY FUTURE SELF

Read this again when
life gets a little too loud.

Walden p. 42
01

Your thoughts, in the margins.

Photograph a page, choose the lines that matter, and add your own words. Every memory stays connected to its book and page.

A LITTLE RECALL GOES A LONG WAY
WALDEN · YOUR STUDY CARD

What is worth
paying attention to?

Think. Turn. Remember. ↗
02

Remember it on purpose.

Turn an idea into a Study Card. Revisit it with spaced repetition, and give the thoughts you care about a little more time.

02 / BETTER WITH YOUR PEOPLE

A shared shelf.
A world in common.

For your book club, your closest friend, or someone who always knows what you should read next.

  • Build a library together, by invitation.
  • See members’ reading progress and ratings.
  • Keep your personal notes completely personal.
Shared books. Private thoughts.

APPLE BY CHOICE. PRIVACY BY DESIGN.

One ecosystem.
A deliberate choice.

We chose Apple’s ecosystem for privacy, security and a fast native app. Recognition runs on your device. CloudKit handles the catalogue, optional sync and sharing. No third-party runtime services or SDKs.

In a world full of AI, we wanted room to think for ourselves. So we built the reading app we wanted: private, secure by design, and without another subscription.

Processed on your device.

Cover and page recognition happen locally. Camera images are never uploaded for catalogue lookup.

Your private iCloud space.

Choose whether to sync. Personal records use your private CloudKit database, with sensitive content stored in encrypted fields.

Shared only by choice.

Invite people to a shelf. Your notes, Study Cards and personal reading history stay outside the shared library.

A few questions

Why Apple only?

We chose Apple for privacy, security and a native experience. Cirey uses on-device recognition and CloudKit for its catalogue, optional sync and sharing, without third-party runtime services or SDKs. iPhone and iPad are supported; a native Mac app is planned.

Can I bring my Goodreads or StoryGraph library?

Yes—import their CSV exports, or export a compatible book list back. CSV and Excel contain books; Markdown adds margins, Study Cards and shelves; JSON also includes sessions and goals. Other services decide which fields they import. Export is always free.

Is Cirey a subscription?

No. Start free with 5 books, 5 margins and 5 Study Cards per book, two private shelves, one owned shared shelf and one joined. One Lifetime purchase removes the limits and unlocks full statistics. Your existing content stays accessible.

What can other people see?

Shared shelves show books and permitted member activity and ratings. Your notes, reviews, Study Cards and history stay private. Public ratings show an average and reader count, not your identity.

Does it work offline?

Your saved library, notes and Study Cards work offline. Catalogue lookup, shared-library updates and optional iCloud sync need a connection. Lookups go to CloudKit; camera images stay on your device.

Are Friends, Stories and Community available?

Shared shelves and public book ratings are part of Cirey. Private friend connections, 24-hour reading Stories and a Community space are still being planned.

Do I need an account?

Cirey uses Sign in with Apple. Optional sync and shared libraries use iCloud. There’s no separate Cirey password.
