Clay Read

For many, a reading library is split between physical bookshelves and digital devices. This keeps your books, notes, and progress fragmented and hard to manage.

Clay Read bridges this gap. It's a single, organized app for your entire library, designed to help you track what you read and remember what you learn, no matter the format.

Key Features:

📚 Unify Your Entire Library

Quickly add your physical books by scanning their covers. For your ebooks, simply import them to see your full collection in one organized place.

✒️ Capture Highlights, No Typing Required

Use your camera to scan a page from a physical book. Clay Read's reliable OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology accurately converts your highlights and notes into editable text. You can also connect your accounts to sync highlights from your ebooks automatically.

📈 Track Your Reading Progress

Manage your library with custom shelves like 'Currently Reading,' 'To-Read,' and 'Finished.' Track your progress by page number for physical books or by percentage for ebooks, so you always know where you left off.

✨ Create and Share Quote Cards

Turn your favorite saved passages into clean, elegant cards. Customize the design and share your reading insights with friends, colleagues, or on social media.

🖼️ Save Snapshots of Pages

For content that isn't just text—like illustrations, charts, or maps—you can save a high-quality photo of the page directly within the app, linked to the correct book.

🔄 Syncs Reliably Across Your Devices

Available for iOS, Android, and Web. Your complete library, notes, and reading progress are always kept in sync and accessible wherever you are.

Who It's For:

Avid Readers: Who want a single place to catalog their entire collection and easily revisit favorite passages.

Students & Researchers: Who need to efficiently consolidate notes and citations from both physical textbooks and digital files.

Book Club Members: Who want an easy way to share and discuss specific quotes from what they're reading.

Clay Read doesn't try to replace your books—it works with them. It's the organized, digital companion your library deserves.
