Yes, you can build a personal book tracker with ratings, reviews and reading goals.
You can build book shelves, save your ratings and reviews, and track your reading goal. Start with books you add yourself and save on your phone. Online book search and shared reviews can come later.
What keeps people on Goodreads:Everyone is already on itYears of data
The checker split your own version of Goodreads into its key parts and sorted each one.
Reading shelves
Vibecode can build Want to Read, Reading and Read shelves with books saved on your device.
Works out of the box
Ratings and reviews
Give each book a star rating and write a personal review on its detail screen.
Works out of the box
Reading goals
Set a yearly book goal and count finished books using their completion dates.
Works out of the box
Online book search
Connect a book catalog such as Google Books, adding your own API key for title and author searches.
Needs setup
An iPhone app makes it easy to update your reading list whenever you finish a book.
Plan ahead: Do not rely on copying Goodreads data or reviews. Start with your own entries and connect a permitted book catalog later.
Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for readers who want a personal book journal. The main screen should show Want to Read, Reading and Read shelves, with a yearly reading goal progress card above them. Let me tap Add Book to enter a title and author, then choose a shelf. Tapping a book should open its details, where I can change its shelf, give it a star rating, write a review and set a finish date. Let me edit my yearly goal and count books finished in that year. Save everything on my device. Use a calm cream and forest green design with clear text and simple book cover placeholders. Include realistic sample books, reviews and finish dates so I can try every screen.
Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
Goodreads gives readers an established community and years of member ratings and reviews that a personal tracker would not have.

You can build book shelves, save your ratings and reviews, and track your reading goal. Start with books you add yourself and save on your phone. Online book search and shared reviews can come later.
Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: add books manually and move them between reading shelves; save a star rating, review and finish date for each book; set a yearly reading goal and see your progress. Plan on an afternoon for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Goodreads, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year).
Goodreads gives readers an established community and years of member ratings and reviews that a personal tracker would not have. A version you build yourself won't have these: Goodreads reader community; years of member reviews; community book ratings; established author communities.
