ReadHQ New

Name: ReadHQ
Price: 47 USD
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.7 (203 reviews)

Know what you're reading. Capture what matters. Remember it when it counts.

Built for: readers with a real backlog across formats and sources: one system for library holds, owned books, and audiobooks, no separate app per format.

ReadHQ is the Reading Operating System: the Notion system that turns every reading session, highlight, and finished book into one calm home base, replacing the Notes app, a Goodreads account you stopped updating, library due-date texts, and the guilt of a to-be-read pile you've stopped looking at. Built for physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks, not just whatever you happen to be holding right now.

“One sentence after most sessions is all I write. Somehow that is enough to remember the book months later.” — Clara Z.

“Used to abandon books mid-chapter and forget why. The quick reason field stopped that cycle.” — Christopher G.

“BookTube inspiration finally had a place to land that was not another abandoned spreadsheet.” — Matthew V.

One Price, Everything Included

Everything inside ReadHQ.

No subscriptions, no locked tiers: the full system, every page, unlocked at $47. Most reading apps charge a recurring fee or bury real tracking behind a paywall; ReadHQ is one payment, once, and it's yours for as long as you're reading.

Core system

ReadHQ master system
Today command center
My Library registry (Reading, TBR, Finished, Re-Reading)
Reading session log, pre-filled from last time
Ideas: capture and revisit what you don't want to lose
Guided 3-step onboarding + sample book setup

Deeper tools & extras

Shelves: custom Collections grouped by idea, season, mood, or personal canon
Chapter Summaries for the books that deserve fuller notes
Format field (physical, ebook, and audiobook)
Library-hold and due-date tracking
Re-Reading status and Personal Canon flags
"Everything" and "By book" views across every idea you've captured

What you're actually choosing between:

Option 1

Notes App & Memory

Free, but scattered across a notes app, a bookmark, and a to-be-read pile you've stopped looking at.

Option 2

~$60–120/Year

A typical reading-tracker subscription: social features you didn't ask for, billed every month, gone the day you stop paying.

This Is ReadHQ

$47, Forever

Every format, every book, one structured home. Yours for good, no recurring charge.

Your Daily Loop

Four pages. One calm home base.

Choose → Read → Capture → Remember → Return. ReadHQ gets more useful every book — organized around the way real readers actually think, so you always know what to pick up today and what's still worth revisiting.

Today

Pick up where you left off. Shows the book in progress with your last page pre-filled, ideas due for a revisit, and what's next on your TBR — nothing to maintain, all pulled in automatically.

My Library

Every book sorted into Reading, TBR, Finished, or Re-Reading. "Reading now" and "Up next" are always front and center — the one shelf that replaces Goodreads and a scattered TBR pile.

Reading

The session log. Title and last page auto-fill from your previous session — add where you got to and one line on what stayed with you, then save. About 20 seconds a session.

Ideas

Your memory layer. "One sentence is valid." Set a review date on anything worth keeping, and it resurfaces here — and on Today — instead of getting buried in a notes app you never reopen.

Go Deeper When You Need To

Four pages cover it for most readers. The rest stays out of the way.

Two optional tools open up when you want more depth, though neither is required to get value on day one.

Chapter Summaries

Optional fuller notes for the books that deserve more than one sentence — kept separate from quick capture so Ideas never turns into homework.

Shelves

The shelves only you could create. Group books by idea, season, mood, or personal canon — real examples include Building Something, Return To These, Personal Canon, Quiet Sunday Reads, and Slow Reads.

Made For More Than One Format

Richer tracking for however you actually read.

ReadHQ isn't built around the assumption that every book is a physical copy you finish start to end. Format is a first-class field, and library holds and audiobooks get real tracking, something a lot of trackers bolt on as an afterthought.

The Journey

Every book moves through a real lifecycle.

ReadHQ tracks each book from to-read to finished, so there's no more losing track of what stage something is actually in.

To-ReadReadingFinishedReviewedReread-Worthy

Nothing To Configure Before You Read

Add one book, log one session, and ReadHQ takes it from there.

The deeper tools sit untouched until a book actually calls for them — nothing to build before you can start reading.

1

Add a book

Title, author, and format. That's the whole setup.

2

Log one session

Record a reading session or a highlight from something you're reading right now, anything.

3

You're ready

From here, the system starts building the memory for you. Everything else is optional, added only when and if you need it.

Before & After

From scattered notes to one living system.

Before ReadHQ

Notes app
A Goodreads account you stopped updating
Library due-date texts
A 40-book to-be-read pile you've stopped looking at
Half-remembered highlights
Buying the same book twice
Your memory

After ReadHQ

One calm place that tells you what's worth finishing
Remembers what you already read, automatically
Gets more valuable every reading season you use it
Less shame about the books you put down

Good Fit

ReadHQ is for you if…

Your to-be-read pile is 40 books deep across three apps and a bookmark on your nightstand.
You finish a book and forget the best line by next week, and you want your highlights somewhere real.
You read across formats (physical, ebook, and audiobook) and want them in one place, not three.
You want a genuine yearly reading log, not just a star rating you'll never look at again.

Not A Fit

It's probably not for you if…

You read one book a year casually and don't need a system for it.
You want social features like following friends' reading, but this is a personal tracker, not a social network.

FAQ

Common questions about ReadHQ

Yes, add books manually or paste in a list; each gets its own page in My Library with stage, format, and notes.

Yes, Format is a field on every book, so physical, ebook, and audiobook all live in the same system, and library holds get their own due-date tracking so you're not relying on a text from the library app.

No. Onboarding is three steps: add a book, log one session, you're ready, and it gets you from blank page to a working system in under five minutes.

You'll get an email with your system link. Open it and click Notion's "Duplicate" button in the top right to add your own copy, then follow the 3-step Setup guide inside. No account, install, or waiting involved.

They live directly on each book's page and roll into Ideas, so your best lines and takeaways are searchable in one place, forever — and you can set a review date to bring any of them back later.

Probably. The core loop (Today, My Library, Reading, Ideas) is built for readers with a real, ongoing backlog. If you read casually and don't have a to-be-read pile to manage, a plain notes app will do the job just as well.

Yes, lifetime access for one price, no subscription.
