The idea
Every reader deserves the right conversation, not the next chapter's ending.
booKlub connects discussion to reading progress, so you can read at your own pace and still have people ready to talk when a moment matters.
One reading life
Four places. Nothing to relearn.
The app stays focused on the work readers come back to: the book, the conversation, the thoughts worth keeping and the choices that remain yours.
02
Club
Meet readers at your checkpoint and keep later chapters out of the conversation until you reach them.
03
Journal
Collect reactions, questions, predictions, quotes, characters and reflections beside the right book.
04
Profile
Shape reminders and appearance, manage privacy and account choices, and reach support when needed.
From cover to final reflection
Made for the whole reading, not just the chat.
Available now
Search, scan or add manually
Find books by title, author or ISBN.
Scan a barcode, printed ISBN, title or author with on-device recognition, choose the right edition, or add a book manually when no match exists.
Available now
Track the way you actually read
Use chapters, checkpoints, pages, percentage or audiobook time.
Correct progress when needed, set per-book reminders, pause a reading, finish it properly and move straight to what is next.
Available now
More useful than a blank notes page
Save reactions, questions, predictions, quotes, characters, reflections and passage questions.
Quick capture, drafts, replies, editing, search, filters and character records keep each thought attached to the right book and checkpoint.
Available now
Help grounded in your own reading
Use recaps, character lookup, passage help and discussion prompts without jumping ahead.
For ordinary books, assistance draws from what you recorded, your current interpretation and the questions that remain open rather than inventing book facts.
Apple account required
Book-specific, progress-aware clubs
Post, reply and react inside a reading boundary tied to your progress.
Checkpoint filters keep later conversation out of view. Update your progress to unlock the next part, see participants and continue at your own pace.

Good to know
Questions readers ask first.
Do I need an account?
No. You can explore the sample, add books, track progress and keep private reading notes without signing in. Sign in with Apple is required for live community participation.
How does booKlub avoid spoilers?
Your recorded checkpoint forms a reading boundary. Club timelines and posting eligibility are filtered to the part of the book you have reached.
Can I use it for audiobooks?
Yes. Reading progress can use chapters, pages, percentage, checkpoints or audiobook time, depending on the edition and your preference.
Does the current release use AI discussions?
No. The current App Store release is focused on human readers and does not include AI-generated club discussions.
What will Plus add?
Plus is planned to add a higher active-reading limit, private clubs, cloud archives and enhanced PDF or CSV reading-history exports. Those features are clearly marked as coming next.
