Your reading, not a feed
Open tome. and you see your books, your progress and your goals - not club activity and discussion threads. Tracking stays a ten-second habit, not a scroll.
tome. vs Fable
A Fable alternative for focused readers.
Fable is built for reading together - clubs, discussions and a feed. tome. is built for reading, full stop: your books, your progress, your goals.
The short version
Fable is a social reading platform: book clubs, discussions, curated lists and an ebook store, with your tracker living inside all of that. tome. flips the balance - it is a personal book tracker first, with page-by-page progress, yearly goals, streaks, spoiler protection and discovery, and nothing pulling you into a feed.
Why readers switch.
Spoilers stay hidden
Social reading means talking about books - and stumbling into endings. tome. hides descriptions and reviews by default until you choose to reveal them.
Progress that motivates
Log your reading page by page, set a yearly goal, keep the streak alive and watch your stats add up book by book.
Discovery without the noise
Search millions of titles, browse what other readers love, and get a fresh shelf of hand-picked recommendations every week - plus rich book pages and full author profiles.

When Fable is still the right choice
If reading is a group activity for you - clubs, readalongs, discussing chapters as you go - Fable is one of the best places to do it, and its ebook subscription puts the books themselves in the same app. tome. has no clubs and no store. It is for readers who want a quiet, personal tracker.
Switching is painless
Add books in seconds with the ISBN barcode scanner, or find anything by title, author or ISBN with powerful search.
If your library lives in Goodreads or StoryGraph, tome. imports both in a couple of taps - and supports export, so your data stays yours.
