No fixed categories to squeeze a book into. One book can sit on as many shelves as you like.
A reading list that keeps to itself.
Tome Haven is a private library for the books you mean to get to. Your hoard, your notes, your pace - a sanctuary for your tomes and your book dragon.
Free for your first hundred books. No card, no invitations to send, nobody added to anything. As long as you have an account, free, monthly, or forever tier, your books are yours.
Organize every tome.
Tag by mood, theme, or topic
Mark the pacing, the feeling, the tropes, or the reading challenge. Tags connect books across every shelf.
Filter and find in seconds
Narrow by status, format, rating, genre, or shelf, search your notes and tags, then sort the results the way you want.
In a series? Keep the story together.
See the books in reading order, spot the ones already in your library, and add the next installment without another search. Give the whole series a shelf of its own, too.

Shelves you invent yourself.
No fixed categories, no genre dropdown, no shelf anyone else would have thought of. You name them, and a book can sit on as many as it likes.
Rename a shelf and every book follows. Delete one and the books stay exactly where they were — only the grouping goes.

Less app. More reading.
Most reading apps eventually ask you to perform your reading for strangers. Tome Haven never will. Here's the full list of what we left out, and intend to keep leaving out.
- A feed
- Followers
- Yearly challenges
- Reading streaks
- Recommended for you
- Badges
- Ads for other books
- Public profiles
If you abandon a book on page 40 and never speak of it again, Tome Haven has no opinion about that. Neither does anyone else, because nobody's looking.
Every book has a reason.
Every book keeps a small private note: where you heard about it, who pressed it into your hands, what mood it's for. Six months later, when you're standing in front of your library with no idea why that one is on it, the note is right there.
Search runs across your notes too, so "the one Priya mentioned" is a real thing you can look up. Statuses, tags, formats and progress keep the rest in order.
