Welcome to the June SimplyKyra Monthly Overview. A once-a-month roundup of app updates, blog highlights, and a few extras from behind the scenes. Nothing too serious, just a cozy way to stay connected. 💕

I know inboxes can get crowded, so this one stays intentionally low-key. If you ever prefer only these monthly summaries (or want to adjust your subscriptions), you can update your settings at the bottom of this email.

## 🏡 This Month with Me

This last month somehow felt way too short and zipped by. Summer break started here and my schedule feels all shifted and somehow like there's tons of time and yet still none at all.... and yet we go to bed later. I thought *Simply TBR* would be released the first couple weeks of the month and looking back I laugh at that expectation. 

Favorite memory from this month was attending the Shoestring Circus. We heard about it last year for their Art Museum theme and this year's Dreamland was even better. Here's [a review](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ27JmQpqWm/?ref=simplykyra.com) by [heal.oly.project](https://linktr.ee/healolympia?ref=simplykyra.com),

It's touring Washington state and going to Puyallup, Vancouver, Seattle, then Port Townsend next if you're close to any of those area. If so check [it out here](https://www.shoestringcircus.com/?ref=simplykyra.com)!

## 📱 New App!

### [Simply TBR: Tame the Stack](https://www.simplykyra.com/simply-tbr/)

One calm place to see every book you actually have access to... your NetGalley shelf, Kindle library, Audible audiobooks, Libby loans, physical books, all of it. One stack. Real covers. No more switching between apps to figure out what you own.

[App Store: TBR](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770712702?ref=simplykyra.com)

![Collage says "See your books all in one place" with the app view on the Mac, widgets on iPad in dark mode, and two views of the phone one with the app and one with widgets.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2026/06/compressed_Simply-TBR-1.0-Read-Your-Way-Out---Screenshot---Image--See-Your-Books-1.png)

This one has been building for a while. I kept bouncing between apps to piece together what I actually had to read... until I realized I needed everything in one visible place.

[*Simply TBR*](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770712702?ref=simplykyra.com) is now live on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Main app and widgets are free with an optional Connected subscription that unlocks importing from NetGalley, Amazon, Audible, and Libby. The free tier is genuinely useful on its own... Lucky Spin, widgets, notes, Exit Ceremony, all included.

[Try it Today!](https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770712702?ref=simplykyra.com)

## 📱 App Updates

### [Simply Remember It](https://www.simplykyra.com/simply-remember-it/)

*When did you last…? Now you know with no second-guessing required.*

[App Store: Remember It](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simply-remember-it/id6749085897?ref=simplykyra.com)

What started as an accessibility audit checklist item turned into a deeper look at the whole codebase leading to [update 2.2.2](https://www.simplykyra.com/updates/simply-remember-it-2-2-2-the-quiet-fixes/) with formal accessibility support along with a handful of fixes that came along for the ride.

### [Simply Customize It](https://www.simplykyra.com/simply-customize-it/)

*Make your reMarkable truly yours with custom templates and screens.*

[App Store: Customize It](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simply-customize-it/id6443862161?ref=simplykyra.com)

Early in the month an email from one of you lead to fixing a crash ([1.1.1](https://www.simplykyra.com/updates/simply-customize-it-1-1-1-answering-an-email-2/)). I then worked on switching over the current sort, group, and filtering available on the browse forms so you could set default values for each time the app opens. I debated waiting until there was something else but a second email pushed the update sooner leading to [1.2.0](https://www.simplykyra.com/updates/simply-customize-it-1-2-0/). 

## Games

There were **no new updates** for my other apps, [Simply Uncover It](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simply-minesweeper/id6741166529?ref=simplykyra.com) and [Simply Match It](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simply-match-it/id6741166537?ref=simplykyra.com), this month, but I always keep an eye on [emails](mailto:mail@simplykyra.com?subject=SimplyKyra%20Games) and questions coming in… so feel free to keep them coming!

## 📚On the Blog

With the new app released and my kids out of school I did't publish very many posts this month. That said I did share [a life snapshot looking back at when my physical books became a bit too unruly](https://www.simplykyra.com/blog/life-snapshot-when-books-became-too-unruly/). This is the quiet start of the origin story for Simply TBR and ends right at the edge of the problem, with books scattered across apps and a pile that's hard to see.

![Collage showing the cover of that blog post article.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2026/06/Life-Snapshot-When-Books-Became-Too-Unruly-1.png)

## 💻 Coming Up Next

I'm already working on an update for Simply TBR to bring in books from OPDS-supported libraries. Beyond that I'm not quite sure... and I’d love your input. What do you enjoy most about the apps or website? And what would you like to see improved or added? Just hit reply and let me know!
