Snap

The cover is the photo. The app reads the spine and suggests a name.

Tell

When you first read it, who pressed it into your hands. Thirty seconds.

Shelve

Shelves show your books as covers. The library builds itself.

What it asks

  • What’s the story?
  • When did you first read it?
  • Who gave it to you, or who does it remind you of?
  • Tell me about a time this was part of something.
  • What should happen to it one day?
A stack of clay books

Questions

Does it look up the ISBN?

Lookups come in January. Today the app reads the spine and suggests a title; you keep it or change it.

Can I add a whole shelf at once?

One photo per book, from the camera or from Photos. Five seconds each.

Can I take my library with me?

Export everything, anytime: photos, stories and transcripts, as files you own.

Thing one gives you a story. Thing ten gives you a room.
