About Alia

Alia is a reading journal app that aims to help you remember what you read, not only record which books you finished. You update your place in a book by page, and capture marginalia as you go: quotes, thoughts, questions and reactions that you would otherwise scribble in a margin.

Notes can be given a mood and scrapbook-style decoration so that they feel like keepsakes. The app also supports gentle reading goals, a shelf that keeps your books organized, and exporting your reading journal or sharing your reading year as images. Kindle and other e-books can be added to the shelf with their own cover, taken by photographing the screen or choosing a picture from your library. Alia is developed by FLIP TECH LTDA. It is free to download with in-app purchases, and subscriptions are available monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial.
