## What is Bookseer?

Books chosen for who you are at this exact moment of your life. Not for your taste, not for your shelf: for you, for now.

Bookseer is a reading ritual on your own clock. You answer a questionnaire in which no question is about books: they ask what keeps you awake, what you are avoiding, what season of life you are in. The Oracle ponders without hurry and returns three books, each with a personal reason: why this one, why you, why now.

Why not a list
Bestseller charts recommend what sells. Store shelves recommend what earns. Engines that know your reading history keep you inside your past taste, and the book that would change your life is usually outside it. Somewhere there is a book written for you, famous or forgotten; no list knows you, and friends can only hand you what they have met themselves. The Oracle exists to catch it before it passes by.

The ritual
1. You answer hard questions. Answering is already a look inward; the more you give the questions, the more exactly the reading will find you.
2. The Oracle ponders. It searches, without hurry, for the words that are exactly yours; the waiting is part of the ritual.
3. Your reading arrives: three books, each with its reason. Then a pause before the next reading, longer the more often you come: time enough to actually read one.

It remembers
Every answer you give and every book it gives you is kept. The next reading begins where the last one ended, and no book comes twice.

Honest by design
The readings draw on all of world literature: novels, philosophy, memoir, poetry, science. No publisher or bookseller pays for a place in a reading.

Quiet by design
No accounts, no feeds, no ads. Your answers travel without your name; we could not identify you if we tried. The Oracle speaks your language, and the language of your readings is yours to choose, independent of your phone's.

If you have ever stood in front of a thousand books wondering what to read next, this is the answer: not a chart and not your purchase history, but a reading composed for who you are today.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.5 — 2026-08-20

The card you hand to someone else now says it plainly: the Oracle's words stand upright and large enough to read, and the mark closes the plate at its foot.

### 1.5.4 — 2026-08-19

A reading now opens with what the Oracle sees in you, set above the three books. And the card you show to someone else carries the Oracle's own night with it: pale words on a dark field.

### 1.5.3 — 2026-08-16

Every answer you give and every book it gives you is kept. The next reading begins where the last one ended, and no book comes twice.

### 1.5.2 — 2026-08-12

The words that meet you at the door have changed. What the Oracle does beyond it has not.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-08-10

A quiet update. Nothing has changed in how the Oracle reads you; the pages that describe it outside the app now say what actually happens inside it.
