The Goodreads alternative that keeps your data yours
Half-star ratings, a native app that does not stall, and a one-tap import that keeps the dates Goodreads drops. No account, no ads, no Amazon.
What you get by switching
- Half and quarter stars. Rate a 4.5, which Goodreads still will not let you do.
- A native, fast app. No web wrapper, no blank screens, no waiting.
- Your start dates, kept. Endleaf preserves every date your export contains.
- Real privacy. No account, no ads, no data sale. Your library stays on your phone.
- An exit whenever you want. Full JSON and CSV export, so you are never locked in again.
