# Otium

> Otium is a cosy book tracker and reading journal: a home for every book you read, own and wish for. It runs in the browser and installs to the home screen or dock like an app on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows, with no app store download needed. The name comes from the Latin *otium*: leisure, time for yourself. There are no timers and no pressure, because reading should never feel like a chore.
