Everything you need to know about Bookish.
Yes. Start adding books right away with no account at all — everything saves to your device. When you're ready to sync across devices and save permanently, create an account. Free storage is included to get you started.
Your data is stored on a permanent, distributed network designed to last forever. It's not sitting on one company's server. Even if Bookish the app disappears someday, your data survives and can be retrieved.
Yes. Everything is encrypted on your device before it's stored. Bookish is designed so that you control access to your data — your books, your notes, all of it.
Bookish is free. Save as many books as you like — no credit card, no trial limit. Optional paid plans may arrive later to help support permanent storage, but you'll never lose access to anything you've already saved.
No catch. On most reading apps, the company owns your reading history and monetizes it. Here your books are yours — encrypted, permanent, and ours to neither sell nor take away. No ads, no investors, no data harvesting.
It's an indie project that costs very little to operate today. If it grows, optional paid plans may help cover the permanent-storage bill — never ads or selling your data. Your library stays yours either way.
They live on this device and sync to your own encrypted, permanent storage — safe if you lose this device, and reachable from your other devices. Yours forever, regardless of what plans Bookish offers later.
Bookish is an indie project built by Brian — a software engineer who wanted a reading tracker that respects privacy and actually lasts. No venture capital, no ads, no data harvesting. Just a tool built for book lovers.
