A Goodreads alternative, without the feed
A book list is for remembering: what you’ve read, and what you mean to read next. Kabook keeps that list and nothing else: quick to add to, quiet to open, and yours.
Add a book in a few letters
Type a few letters of a title or an author and pick the book from eight million, or scan the barcode on its back. Your library opens and works without a signal, on a plane or underground.

Your books, not a feed
Kabook opens on the book you’re reading and the ones waiting, not on what other people did today. Nothing to scroll past on the way to your own list.

Private, and on your phone
Nobody else sees your library: Kabook has no profiles, followers or public shelves. It lives on your phone, and an account is only for syncing it to your other devices, if you want that.
No ads, nothing to keep up with
Kabook shows no ads. There are no friends to answer and no updates to read, so it waits quietly until you have a book to add.
Your year in books, free
Each year gets its own page: how many books, the first and the last, your stars. Share it as a picture, if you like. Both are free.
Series and authors, in order
A book in a series shows the rest in order, the ones you have and the ones you don’t yet, and adds the rest in one tap. Tap an author’s name for their other books.
Yours to take with you
Export your library as a spreadsheet any time, signed in or not: every book with its status, dates, stars, notes and lists.
Free, with Plus for more
Everything above is free, and so are notes, stars, sync, import, past dates, your own cover photos and three lists. Kabook Plus adds the ledger of your reading over the years, most-read authors, series progress, unlimited lists, and app icons and accents.
What you leave behind
On Goodreads a reading list comes with friends and their updates, other people’s reviews, groups, giveaways and recommendations. Kabook has none of them: it is a list, not a network, and that is the point.
Moving takes a few minutes
Export your library from Goodreads and import it into Kabook: your shelves, stars, dates and notes come across, and the file is read on your phone, not uploaded. Each year’s page is there from the first day.
