Everything a reader needs
From a single session to an entire story universe.
Reading home
A living dashboard: active sessions, latest progress, notes and achievements in one timeline. Build the layout that fits how you read.
Library
Catalog every book with covers, ratings, loans and notes. Group them into smart collections and full sagas — a story universe stays connected.
Literary elements
Capture favorite quotes, characters and relationships, places, objects and a glossary. Your own annotated edition of everything you read.
Stats
Rhythm, streaks, pace and goals — a clear dashboard of your reading life. Turn a great month into a shareable stat card in one tap.
Notebook
Write notes and voice notes as you read, organized by book and category — then export beautiful, print-ready PDFs of your reading journal.
Genealogy graphs
Map characters, places and objects into interactive graphs. Follow relationships across an entire saga — the way only a careful reader would.
Photo cataloging Subscription
Point your camera at a cover or a whole shelf and let BookGeist recognize and add your books. Your photos are processed only when you ask.
Multiple themes
From warm ivory to midnight codex, pick from a curated library of themes and fonts. Customize your Homes so the app feels unmistakably yours.
Local-first by design
Your reading stays yours.
In Free and Pro, everything lives on your device — no account, no cloud, no tracking. Cloud sync and AI features are opt-in, and only ever run when you start them.
Coming soon to iOS and Android.
