The books I read. The thoughts I kept.

Booklight began with a simple need: to remember a reading life without turning it into a scoreboard.

Remember

Every finished book has its number.

The date, your rating, your notes and favourite lines stay with each book — and its number places it in your own reading order.

Library

My whole reading life, on one shelf.

Finished books, books you want to read, recommendations and your own lists — organised without making reading feel like work.

Simple in the way a notebook is simple.

Nothing to set up

Add a book by typing a few letters or scanning its barcode. Save a quote with its page.

No scoreboard

No streaks, reading targets or pressure to perform. Read at your own pace.

A quieter social layer

Recommendations and small, friendly challenges, without feeds, followers or leaderboards.

Look back

My reading, year by year.

Statistics are there to help you remember your reading life, not to turn it into a competition.

Discover

When I don’t know what to read next.

Curated and award-winning lists, each book under the title it was published under in your language — there when you want somewhere thoughtful to look next.

Friends

Read with friends, not against them.

Send a book to someone who would love it, let a recommendation find you, share a small, friendly challenge.

Twelve bindings, day and night.

Dress your journal in a binding of its own. Every one has a day and a night edition, and they stay out of the way of the books.

Six of the twelve. Paper, Library Blue and Morning Mist are free; the others come with Pro.

Private

Your journal stays yours.

Your journal works without an account. Friends is optional and uses Sign in with Apple — only when you choose to open it.
