Forewords: AI Book Tracker

Productvamp

About this app

Import your Goodreads library in seconds - then let Forewords find you the next book you'll rave about.

Forewords uses AI based on your actual taste — your ratings, your notes, your patterns — to recommend books that genuinely fit. Not just genre matches. Unexpected connections you wouldn't have found on your own. And you don't just get the book: you get a personalised why.

TRACK YOUR BOOKS
> Track every book you're reading, have read, want to read, or DNF'd.
> Rate books with sentiment tags that go deeper than a five-star scale.
> Add notes as you read - dictated or written.
> Tag by what a book actually feels like, not just genre.
> Build your library your way with custom shelves and tags — no storage limit.

AI BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
> Recommendations built from your actual taste — not the current bestseller list.
> The more you rate and note, the sharper the AI gets.
> Each recommendation comes with a personalised reason rooted in your reading history.
> 100 AI credits free on sign-up.

READING STATS AND INSIGHTS
> Discover the themes, tones, and narrative styles you keep returning to.
> Find your reader archetype.
> See patterns across your library you never consciously noticed.
> Reading stats that go deeper than books-per-year.

IMPORT YOUR LIBRARY
> Import from Goodreads, StoryGraph, or any CSV in minutes.
> Scan barcodes to add physical books.
> Your data is yours — export any time.

WHO FOREWORDS IS FOR
Forewords is for bibliophiles and power readers — the kind who finish a book and immediately need to know what's next.

> Anyone looking for a Goodreads alternative with better, more personal recommendations.
> Readers who want a beautiful, private reading tracker without the social-network noise.
> People who care about what they read, not just how much.

WHY READERS SWITCH TO FOREWORDS
> Goodreads is a social network and Amazon product first. Forewords is a reading tracker built around you — no ads, no data selling, no social feed.
> StoryGraph does mood and pace well. Forewords goes deeper: the themes, tone, and narrative style that actually define your taste — and the unexpected threads connecting your favourite books.
> No public profiles. No pressure to post reviews. Just your library, your taste, and recommendations that get sharper the more you use them.

A NOTE FROM THE MAKER
Confession: I'm not a huge reader. But my wife is. She reads 50+ books a year (whereas I only read ~10) and asked me to build her something, because nothing out there did what she actually wanted: discover books based on what she genuinely likes (and doesn't), get real insight into her reading taste, and go deeper than "here's another book by the same author."

So I built Forewords. It's for people like her.

A few things I want to be upfront about: Forewords is a reading companion, not a social network or a streak tracker — I'm not trying to make you read more. You already do that. It's also independent: no company between me and you. And it's meant to stay affordable — I plan to lower the premium price every year and always keep a free version.

I hope you love it. If you don't, I'd genuinely like to know why.
