Join early accessHow it works

Your shelves, everyone's books.

From Turkish classics to today's novels, every book arrives on your shelf with its cover.

Why Bookmark

The page you scribbled in the margin of. The novel a friend kept insisting on. The book you left halfway, meaning to return. All of it was scattering somewhere. Now it all has a shelf.

1Library

Your library, in your pocket.

Line up what you've read, what you'll read and what's in your hands now. Your shelf is open to friends; hide any book with a single tap.

  • Open as many private shelves as you like.
  • Browse your friends' shelves and find new books.
2Writing

Keep what you underline.

Favourite sentences, reading notes, lists and longer pieces. All together, organised, and yours.

  • Share with your friends, or keep it to yourself.
  • Close your account and your writing is deleted or kept anonymous; you choose.
3Rhythm

Read at your own pace.

Set your own daily page goal; it adds up over the week. Miss a day and nothing resets; every Monday opens a fresh page.

  • It reminds you of your plan in the morning and tells you when a friend reading the same book finishes.
  • A gentle weekly race with friends that resets every Monday.

Every book has a page of its own.

Who has read it, which sentences were underlined most, which gathering it was talked about at. Open a book and everything around it opens too.
