See what others read
Reading is easy. Remembering is hard.
You invest hours into books. Highlight the good parts. Then life happens and it all fades away.
"What was that book about?"
You read 20+ books a year. Six months later, you barely remember the main ideas.
Notes everywhere
Kindle highlights. Apple Books. Paper margins. Notion. Finding that one quote? Good luck.
"Any book recs?"
Friend asks. You blank. Despite reading 50 books you'd love to recommend.
Infinite TBR pile
Screenshots from Twitter. Podcast mentions. That list your friend sent. All lost.

Why I built this
Solo dev. 50+ books/year reader.
I read a lot. 50+ books a year. And I kept hitting the same walls.
Highlights scattered across Kindle, Apple Books, and paper margins. Notes in 4 different apps. No single place to search "what did I learn about habits?"
Friend asks for a book rec? I'd blank. Despite reading dozens of books I'd love to recommend.
And after switching to Kindle, I missed my bookshelf. That wall of spines. Glancing over and seeing everything I'd read.
So I built what I wish existed. A reading companion.
Kanban boards for tracking. Notes that stay searchable forever. A beautiful digital bookshelf you can share. And a way to see what others are actually reading.
What you get:
- •Kanban tracking. Drag books through Backlog → Reading → Done.
- •All your notes and highlights. Searchable forever.
- •A beautiful bookshelf with real spine photos.
- •Your own public page at bookshelves.me/you.
Solo developer. No VC. No team. Just me building what I wish existed.
If any of this sounds familiar — welcome home.
