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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
