Booklit

Your shelf, the way you dreamed it. Free for real.

Booklit is a cozy book tracker. Every book you finish goes on a shelf you decorate, in a room of your own. Read a few minutes a day with Lito, a little flame who keeps you company.

No paywall to get in. Plus is optional.

Why Booklit

Reading is not a spreadsheet. And it should not start at a paywall.

Rows, stars and a progress bar. Or three screens of promises and a price before you have logged a single book.

Booklit starts the other way around. The reading plan, the timer, the path, the streak, Lito’s Bookshop and unlimited logging are free, with no account. Plus is there if you want more. It never stands in the doorway.

The shelf

Every finished book finds its place.

Spines in every height and color, a cover facing out, a stack lying flat. The shelf fills up as you read, and it looks like yours.

Decorate it with pieces from Lito’s Bookshop, paid with Leaves you earn by reading. Leaves are never sold.

Eight rooms. One window that follows your day.

Morning light, sunset, a starry night: the window changes with your hours. Two rooms are free, four you get with Leaves and two come with Plus.

The path

Every book is a path. Lito walks it with you.

A stop about every 20 pages, and chests to open on the way. You always know where the next stop is.

Pick your reading days and a time, then read with the timer. At five minutes, today counts.

Coming soon

A street where your friends live.

A street at night with your friends’ houses. The window is the news: lit while they are reading, warm if they read today, dark after a few days away, curtains drawn if they would rather not share.

Step into a house to see their shelf and the book they are on. In the square, the reading table and your pact.

The neighborhood arrives with the next update.

The streak

A streak without the guilt.

Lito grows with your streak. Passes cover a plan day you miss.

And if the streak pauses, nothing breaks: Lito naps until you read again.
