One File · Powerful productivity tracker
Read more.
Remember every word.
A reading log that lives in one HTML file on your device. No Goodreads account, no algorithm picking what you should read next. Just your shelf, your year, your favourite quotes — yours forever.
One payment · Yours forever · 14-day refund
- Works fully offline
- Installs as an app (PWA)
- No account, ever
- Yours, forever
Loads once, never needs the internet again. On a plane, in a basement, in a foreign hotel.
Every entry, every chart — stored locally. We never see it. We can't.
No subscription. No upgrades. No re-up next year. One file, yours.
Why log
Why people who actually finish books log them.
A reading log isn't admin. It's the thing that turns 'I should read more' into 'I read 30 books last year'.
What gets tracked, gets finished.
The book sitting half-read for six months won't get finished — but the half-read book on a list with a finish date often does. The log is a quiet nudge.
Quotes survive the book.
The line that struck you in March is gone by August. A favourite-quote field per book is a commonplace book by another name.
Year-in-books beats year-in-Spotify.
Your year of reading is a richer self-portrait than your year of streaming. The export turns it into something you can share.
Algorithms recommend; you remember.
Goodreads pushes books at you. The log lets you push books at future-you.

The promise
Your reading is the most personal map you have.
We don't want it. You keep it.
Offline, always
Open it once, never need the internet again. The file holds the whole app.
Local-first storage
Every entry stored in your browser, on your device. No server sync. No leaks. Nothing to breach.
One payment, forever
No subscription, no upgrade tier, no nag. If we shut down OneFileClub tomorrow, your file keeps working.
Data does not sync automatically between phone and desktop
This is a local-first app — everything stays on the device you logged it on. To use it on both phone and desktop, use the built-in JSON or CSV export on one device and import on the other when you want to keep them in step.
Every view, light and dark.
A look at every screen across both themes — your tracker, populated.
Questions
Real answers, no fine print.
Will it work for hundreds of books?+
Yes. A few hundred entries is well within what one HTML file handles. The list view is searchable and sortable, so finding a book remains a one-second action.
Can I import from Goodreads?+
Not in v1 — the engine takes JSON or CSV import, but mapping the Goodreads CSV is on the roadmap. Most early users use it for what they read going forward and don't backfill.
Where is my data stored?+
Locally, in your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to OneFileClub or anyone else — there is no account, no cloud sync, no analytics.
Does it work offline?+
Yes. Once your personalised copy loads the first time, the entire tracker runs from a single HTML file. Airplane mode is fine.
What does 'personalised copy' mean?+
When you buy, OneFileClub stamps a private copy with your licence and deploys it to a unique URL just for you. You bookmark it, install it as an app, or save the file — and the file is yours, even if OneFileClub disappears tomorrow.
What is your refund policy?+
14 days, no questions asked. Email us, we'll process it and disable your private URL.
One payment.
A lifetime of reading.
We'll personalise a copy and email you a private link, usually within a minute. Bookmark it, install it, add the first book.
