What it does
Candl is a cool new web app that lets you organize your books and add notes and citations to them.
Track your books, notes, and reading goals in one private place. Import from Goodreads. No social features, no distractions—just you and your books.
A personal book tracker with smart notes, reading goals, and stats that help you read more intentionally. Add books with a single search. Mark books as reading, planned, or read. Track your progress page by page. Rate and tag everything. Create custom shelves to organize however you like. Capture regular notes, citations, reviews, and summaries as you read. Then actually remember them — Candl's built-in spaced repetition system surfaces your notes for review - so your insights come back to you like a boomerang, long after you put the book down. Create reading targets with book counts and date ranges. Track your progress on the home dashboard. Archive completed goals and keep pushing…from candlapp.com
