Snap the page, say it or write a couple of lines: the note goes to the right page, with what you felt. Share it with your book club if you like, and see what moved the others.
On every book, discover what moved the people who read it, and on which pages. Next to it, your own emotions.
Page by pageSee where a book moves its readers most, and with which emotion.
No spoilers beyond your pageWhatever comes after your bookmark stays covered.
Your emotions, only if you wantThey count here with no name and never with the text of your notes. Remove them whenever you like from your Profile.
Share a note as an imageAs a Story, a Post or a Square. The image is made on your device, and nothing is shared until you choose to.
On every book's page, under your notes. “How it makes readers feel” and “Where it moves readers” appear once at least 5 readers have noted their emotions on that book: nobody can be recognised.
Notes shared by readersComing soon
Only the ones their authors choose to show to the readers of the same book, and only up to the page you have reached.
From Goodreads, StoryGraph or Kindle, with the file you download from them: books, statuses, dates and ratings. From Kindle come your highlights too, and the notes you wrote there. Or frame your shelf with your phone, one stretch at a time.
With statuses, dates and your ratings. Importing is free.
Your rating from 1 to 5only you see it
Categories and covers arrive by themselves, and there’s no daily limit on the books you add.
A shared goal: the same book, the same milestones and everyone’s emotions. Private, by invitation, with friends or anyone you like.
Everyone suggests 1 to 3 books, everyone votes: the most voted becomes the club’s book.
Reading milestones and a meeting, in person or on a video call. Or just shared reflections, each at their own pace.
Each member chooses which notes to show the club, with the page and the emotions. The others stay theirs.
Notes and lines past your page stay covered until you get there.
How did today’s reading go? One line, with the page and an emotion if you like.
How many of you read and where most of the club has got to, with no names. Only you see your own page.
Here your next book grows from your notes, from the emotions you note down, from what the books you finished left you with and from the authors you read. And every recommendation tells you why.
“Customers who bought this book also bought…”
“Why: from your theme ‘Time as care’, 12 notes in 3 books.”
“Expand” shows a recommended book’s description and ratings, before you add it.
No recommendation is an ad: each one says where it comes from.
Written notes, search, connections, clubs and export are unlimited on every plan.

Only you, until you choose to show one. If you want, you show some of them to your book club: only its members see them, with your name and the emotions you chose. Or you make a copy of a note visible to the readers of the same book, signed “Reader” or with your first name and initial: only readers who have that book on Booktation see it, not search engines, and it is not used to train any AI. You can take them back whenever you like. Your emotions count in a book’s “How it makes readers feel” only with no name, from at least 5 readers, and you can remove them from your Profile.
Yes. From Kindle you import your highlights and the notes you wrote there. With an audiobook you dictate the line that struck you, even without a page. With a library or second-hand book you take a photo of the page and tap the sentences to keep: no marks needed.
You create it and invite anyone you like with a link, even in the group chat you already have. Joining costs nothing. You choose the book with a vote, set the milestones and, if you like, a meeting in person or on a video call. The club sees how many have read and where most of you are, never a name. Anyone who rarely opens the app gets the club’s week by email on Sunday.
First it looks for your marks: underlining in pencil or pen, highlighter, margin notes. If there are none, it shows you the page text split into sentences and you tap the ones to keep. If the page number is visible, it fills it in for you. We never keep photos of your pages: only the text.
It transcribes your voice and photos, helps you put a name to your emotions and explains in one line the connections between your notes, always labelled as such. The words of your notes stay yours and are not used to train any model, neither ours nor that of OpenAI, which does the transcriptions.
Booktation is made in Naples by Adastra S.r.l.s. You can take your notes with you whenever you like, on the Free plan too, in a file you open with Word, Obsidian or Notion. For any question: info@booktation.com.
Every time Booktation turns something into text for you: a voice note, a photo of a page or of a cover. On a shelf (PRO), every 3 stretches count as one. The Free plan includes 10 a month, PRO 300. Written notes, emotions, search and connections never count.
There’s nothing to download: it opens in the browser of your phone, tablet or computer. To have it like an app, on iPhone and iPad tap Share and then “Add to Home Screen”; on Android open the menu with the three dots and choose “Add to Home screen”.
Note what strikes you and, if you like, how it makes you feel: on your own or with your book club.
