Book Tribe: Book Tracker

Book Tribe

About this app

Your bookshelf says more about you than any profile photo. Book Tribe is a book tracker and reading community that turns the books you own and love into an AI-generated Reading Personality — then connects you with readers who think, feel and read like you do.

Build your digital library, discover your reading identity, and meet people worth talking to about books.

BUILD AND TRACK YOUR PERSONAL BOOKSHELF
Track every book you have read, are reading, or want to read next. Search by title or author, add books manually, or scan the ISBN barcode on the back cover and let Book Tribe fill in the cover, author, description and details for you. Your virtual bookshelf and reading list stay organised, searchable and always with you.

SCAN ISBN BARCODES IN SECONDS
Cataloguing a shelf should not take an evening. Point your camera at the barcode and the book is added instantly with accurate data from Google Books. Perfect for logging a home library, a new haul, or a bookshop find before you buy it.

DISCOVER YOUR AI READING PERSONALITY
Once your shelf takes shape, Book Tribe reads it the way a friend would. Our AI analyses your genres, authors, themes and reading patterns to generate a Reading Personality that is genuinely yours — insightful, a little uncanny, and fun to read. Add more books and watch it evolve as your taste does.

SHARE IT WITH YOUR PEOPLE
Post your Reading Personality straight to Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, X or anywhere else in one tap. It is made to be shared, compared and argued about with fellow bookworms.

MATCH WITH READERS LIKE YOU
Book Tribe compares bookshelves, not selfies. Find readers with overlapping libraries, shared favourite authors and compatible reading taste, and see exactly which books you have in common before you say hello. Personality-driven, never appearance-driven.

CHOOSE HOW OPEN YOU ARE
You decide what you are here for, and you can change it any time:
- Open to Discussion — talk books, trade recommendations, debate endings
- Open to Friendship — find a reading buddy or a real-life bookish friend
- Open to Dating — meet someone whose shelf you would happily share

MESSAGE YOUR MATCHES
Simple, private one-to-one chat with the readers you connect with. Start with the book you both loved and go from there. Messaging only opens between matched users, so your inbox stays calm.

A SAFER READING COMMUNITY
Report users and messages in a tap. A dedicated moderation team reviews reports, removes inappropriate content and bans bad actors, so the community stays focused on books.

Bookworms and bibliophiles building a home library. Readers tracking a TBR pile that keeps growing. BookTok and Bookstagram people who want their reading taste seen. Anyone who has ever wanted to talk about the ending of a book at midnight and had nobody to text.

Whether you read fantasy, romance, literary fiction, thrillers, non-fiction, self-development, poetry, manga or classics, your shelf is your signal. Book Tribe helps you read it, share it, and find the people on the other end of it.

Start your shelf. Meet your tribe.
