A reading society
Read with the world.
Read with your friends in a room you can open whenever you want. Every session becomes a card worth posting, and ten book picks land every day. The quiet hours, finally shared.
14 weeks
on a streak
ReadersGuild is Strava for reading. A social book tracking app.
The Hearth
Every ember is a reader.
The world is asleep, and no one is reading yet.
City lights are real. Reader embers light on top. None yet.
Read with your friends.
A fire is a reading room. Open yours, send the code, and friends drop in. Everyone brings their own book and reads their own pages, at the same fire. It is a silent book club you can start on a Tuesday, with nothing to found, no schedule, and no assigned chapters.
- One tap starts your session, and the fire keeps time
- Share a six-character code, and up to twenty readers can sit down
- Pick the room and the sound: firelit cabin, rainy library, sun study
Book recommendations, every day.
Ten of them land each day, built from what you have actually read, rated, and put down, not from what is trending this week. Swipe right to shelve one, left to pass. Every card says why it is there in plain words, and names the book of yours it came from. It sharpens as you go: five stars pull the deck that way, a book you gave up on pushes it back, and a pass means you never see that title again.
- A reason on every card, written from your own shelf
- Sharper with every book you finish, rate, or abandon
- See which friends read it, and steer by mood any time

Drag a card. Right shelves it, left passes.
Every book, in one place.
Everything you are reading and everything you have finished, on shelves that finally look good. A TBR for what is next, and a DNF shelf for the ones you put down, kept without guilt. Coming from Goodreads? Export your library and we bring the whole shelf over.
- Reading, finished, TBR, and DNF, each with its own shelf
- Your Goodreads shelves, ratings, and dates read come with you
- Print, ebook, or audiobook, tracked the same way
Reading progress that feels like progress.
A progress bar tells you nothing. Every book you are reading is broken into named stops, and you watch yourself move between them as you log sessions. It is not a reading plan: there are no due dates, no schedule, and nothing to fall behind on.
- Four to seven stops, sized to the book's length
- Names like Setting out, Halfway, and The home stretch
- A full-screen moment each time you cross one
Share the moment.
Every session becomes a clean, export-ready image you'll actually want to post. It looks like an album cover, native to Instagram and TikTok, not a stats receipt. Your book, your time, your words.
- Share it solid, or transparent to paste onto a story
- Extra cards when you finish a book, cross a stop, or earn a badge
- Export in a tap, watermark-free on Premium
See who's reading right now.
Recent sessions from the people you follow and the wider Guild, written in plain human phrases. No dashboards, no leaderboards. Just the company of other readers.
- Sessions from friends and the global Guild
- Comment, react, and cheer each other on
- No rankings, no follower-count games
Know how you actually read.
Fifteen visualizations and six stat cards, from reading rhythm and best reading time to genre mix, mood versus speed, top authors, and a projected year-end. No leaderboards, no shame copy. Just a clear look at the reader you're becoming.
- Reading rhythm, best time of day, and streaks
- Genre mix, mood versus speed, top authors
- Private percentile bands, for your eyes only
Your year in books, wrapped.
Like Spotify Wrapped, but for your reading year. Every book, every hour, and the genres you leaned on, revealed one number at a time and ending on a card built to post. Months get one too, so a look back is never twelve months away.
- Every book and every hour, counted for you
- Revealed one number at a time, then one card to share
- A monthly wrap as well as the yearly one
A profile that's yours.
Your profile is the taste and rhythm that make you you: avatar, bio, shelf, streak. Your guild card is the version worth showing off, carrying your name, your books, and the hours you have put in, foiled so it catches the light when you tilt the phone.
- A bookshelf that reads like a signature
- A guild card that catches the light as you tilt it
- Guild badges for readers who grow the room
The things we'll never do.
A reading app should serve the reader, not farm them for engagement. These are the lines we hold, in writing, on purpose.
- 1
Your data stays yours
See and export everything you log, on the free tier too. We gate the premium analysis, never the reading you did.
- 2
Streaks that never shame
Weekly rhythm celebrates consistency on your terms. Skip a week and there is no guilt copy waiting for you.
- 3
Privacy on every session
Public, friends, or private. You decide each time you finish, and Premium lets you set a quieter default.
Three taps from page to people.
Open a fire
One tap starts the timer in your reading room. Put the phone down and read. It keeps time in the background, even on lock.
Capture the moment
Finish, and your session becomes a clean share card with your book, your time, and your words.
Read with the world
Post to your feed and see who else is reading right now. Cheer them on. Keep your rhythm going.
Good to know.
ReadersGuild is a social reading app for iOS, sometimes described as Strava for reading. You read in a fire, which is a room your friends can join, your session is timed and becomes a share card, and a deck of ten picks lands each day for whatever you read next. It is free to start.
Reading is better with company.
The doors open August 1st. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment they do.
