BookKind · A WattKind AI product

A personal librarian that knows your shelf.

BookKind keeps track of the books you own in every format, provides tracking for the ones you're reading now, a wishlist for what to buy next, and a journey of everything you've finished, with your ratings, your progress and the dates. And you can pick a colour theme to suit your reading mood.

Then it does the part no spreadsheet can. The digital Librarian has seen your shelves and noticed what you loved and what you didn't, so when you ask the Librarian what to read next based on your mood, it can suggest something from your existing books, or provide fresh suggestions to add to your wishlist.

Out now for Android on Google Play. The iPhone and iPad app is with Apple for review: hear when it's out.

The BookKind Library on the Cherry Blossom theme: Physical, Genre and Title A–Z filters, 16 books on the shelf with a badge for each format owned, Yesteryear tagged Reading, and a Completed shelf with The Nightingale and The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop, star-rated. A chat with the BookKind Librarian, recommending the next read from books already on the reader's shelf.

What it does

Your whole reading life, in one place.

Paperbacks, ebooks and audiobooks end up tracked in three different apps, or in none. BookKind keeps them together, and knows them well enough to help.

Your library, in every format

Add a book by searching the catalogue or pointing the camera at its cover. Each one keeps its format, your rating, where you're up to and when you finished. Bring your history across from Goodreads or StoryGraph in one import.

A Librarian who has read your shelves

Ask what to read next and the Librarian answers from your own books first, knowing your favourite authors and the moods you reach for. It only suggests something new once it has checked what you already own.

A Book Club chat for each book

Every book you're reading has its own private chat with the digital Librarian: a place to think out loud about the story so far, blurt out an OMG moment after a major plot reveal, or talk through why you aren't enjoying a book. The Librarian keeps note of where you're up to, so nothing is spoiled, and responds appropriately in the moment, and in future recommendations.

Your reading journey and wishlist

See what you finished this month and this year, set a goal, and collect a few quiet achievements along the way. Your wishlist keeps the books you want in the order you want them, and shares it with your family circle.

Built for people who already love reading.

BookKind started as a librarian for one reader's shelves at home. It stays close to that: a quiet, personal record of what you read, and a Librarian that knows those shelves better than any bestseller list.

  • Recommendations come from your own books first.
  • Your chats with the Librarian are private to your account. Nobody else sees them.
  • No ads, no analytics and no tracking.
  • Everything you enter is yours: export it as a spreadsheet or a complete file at any time, and delete your account from inside the app.
The Librarian can be wrong, and says so.

Its answers are generated by an AI model from your library and your chats. Treat a recommendation as a suggestion from a well-read friend, not a fact, and tell us when it gets something wrong. There's a Report control on every reply.

BookKind is for iPhone and Android. Purchases are made in the app, through the App Store or Google Play.

Your data

Your shelf is yours.

What BookKind keeps, and where

Your library, your chats and your notes are stored on BookKind's servers, so they're there when you sign in on a new phone. The privacy policy says exactly what is collected, who processes it and for how long.

Take it with you, or take it away

Export your whole library as a CSV or a complete JSON file from Settings whenever you like. Deleting your account removes your library, chats and notes; the app does it for you, no email needed.

How to delete your account
Help and support

Stuck, or spotted something wrong?

BookKind is made by a small family business in Queensland, Australia. Email comes straight to us, and we reply ourselves, usually within a day or two.

Email us

Write to support@wattkind.ai about anything: a question, a bug, a book the catalogue can't find, or an idea for what BookKind should do next. For a bug, tell us your phone, what you were doing and what happened instead; a screenshot helps more than anything. Please don't send passwords; we never need them.

Purchases and subscriptions

Purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play, so that's where a receipt lives and where a subscription is changed or cancelled. If something you've paid for isn't showing in the app, tap Restore purchases in Settings, then email us if it still hasn't appeared.

Your account and your data

Export, delete and the Librarian's AI consent all live in Settings in the app. For anything the app can't do, email us from the address on your account and we'll sort it out. See the privacy policy and the terms of service.

Hear when it's on iPhone.

BookKind is on Google Play now. The iPhone and iPad app is with Apple for review, so leave your email and we'll send one message the day it's on the App Store. Nothing else, and the website doesn't keep your address.
