Bookgeist vs Storied

Bookgeist is an app for organizing your books, tracking your reading, and preserving everything that happens along the way. But it’s much more than a library manager. You can organize books, collections, and series; track reading sessions and progress; save quotes; build your reading history; explore statistics, goals, and reading memories; and create a notebook that connects characters, places, theories, notes, and everything else you discover between the pages. Bookgeist tries to preserve something that usually gets lost: not just which books you’ve read, but what those books left with you. YOUR LIBRARY Organize all your books and create a space of your own for your collection. • A complete library with multiple views, filters, and search. • Manual and smart collections. • Series and sagas with their own dedicated space. • Favorites, TBRs, and personal lists. • Built to handle large libraries, too. YOUR READING Bookgeist stays with you while you read. • Track reading sessions and reading time. • Plan what you want to read next. • Follow your progress and reading streaks. • Explore your activity and reading calendar. • Keep a complete history for every book. • Discover statistics, goals, and your year in reading. • Track loans and purchases. THE NOTEBOOK This is where Bookgeist becomes a little less conventional. The Notebook isn’t just for writing notes. You can save quotes, characters, places, creatures, organizations, theories, images, audio, and other elements from your reading. And then you can connect them. Link characters to one another, connect places with events, build family trees, follow theories, or create a map of everything you’ve discovered inside a book. A book may end. Your notebook doesn’t have to. Bookgeist is free to download and use, with no limits on books or reading sessions. Bookgeist Studio unlocks advanced features through a subscription. BOOKGEIST STUDIO Studio expands Bookgeist for readers who want to take their library and reading much further. • Full series features, progress tracking, and notebooks shared across all books in a series. • Favorite quotes and books, rankings, Tier Lists, and Wrap-ups. • Upcoming releases and reminders. • Achievements, badges, and collectible items. • Your year in reading and special shelves: Hall of Fame, yearly reads, and your full library in alphabetical order. • More themes, fonts, and alternative views. • Detailed analysis of your library, reading habits, and spending. • AI-powered features: recognize books and entire shelves to import them into your library, generate images of characters from your own descriptions, and much more. PRIVATE. LOCAL. YOURS. Your books, notes, and reading history live on your phone. No account required, and the core features work offline. Your library isn’t a public profile, and your notes remain private unless you choose to share them with someone. It’s your library. It stays with you. AND GEISTY Geisty is the little spirit that lives inside Bookgeist. He’ll keep you company while you read and appear in different corners of the app. His name shares the same root as Bookgeist: Geist, the German word for “spirit.” Bookgeist also plays on the idea of Zeitgeist — the “spirit of an age” — to imagine something like the spirit of books. The one that lives within every book. The one that runs through our reading. And, above all, the one that stays with us long after we’ve finished. That’s the kind of place I’m trying to build in Bookgeist. A place for your books. For your reading. And for everything they leave with you.
