A whole reading life, organized

ISBN scanningFREE

Scan a barcode to auto-fill the title, author, publisher, and cover in a single tap.

Camera quote captureFREE

Point your camera at a page and OCR grabs the text on-device — no more typing out passages.

Quotes & notes

Save passages with page numbers and your own thoughts, and @-mention other books right inside a quote.

CollectionsFREE

Group quotes by idea, not just by book — “on solitude”, “favorites”, anything. Your own commonplace shelves.

Search & stats

Find any book or quote instantly, filter by status or genre, and watch your reading add up over time.

Capture, effortlessly

Scan an ISBN to drop a book onto your shelf, or point your camera at a page to lift the words straight off it. Both are free, and the OCR runs entirely on your device.
