Bookmark
Never lose your place again.
Bookmark saves where you stopped reading, in any book, in any format, and keeps it on a beautiful shelf you’ll actually want to open. Paper, ebook, or audiobook: snap a photo of where you paused and Bookmark files it against the right book. It is free, private, and ready without an account.
For Readers Who Read Everything, Every Way
Paper bookmarks fall out, get borrowed, or get rearranged by a curious toddler. Shared audiobook accounts snap to whoever listened last, spoiling your spot. And your camera roll slowly becomes a graveyard of “where was I” photos with no idea which blurry page belongs to which book.
Bookmark is the one place your reading position always lives. Add a book, save your spot with a photo or a screenshot, and on-device text recognition suggests the page for you. Nothing is uploaded, ever.
What makes it special
- The Author’s Cut. A director’s commentary for books. The author’s own notes reveal themselves exactly when you reach the moment they’re about, never before, so there are no spoilers.
- Read Together. Link a book with a friend or partner. Your reactions flow to each other, but stay hidden until the other person reaches the same spot.
- Margin notes, guilt-free. Pin a thought, a voice memo, or a short video to your exact spot, without writing in the book (or the library’s book).
- Shelves worth opening. Your books stand face-out in a themed room: Dark Academia, Beachy, Space, Greenhouse, or Scandinavian. A plain fast list is one tap away.
- A built-in reader for the DRM-free EPUB and PDF files you already own, where your position tracks itself.
Perfect for book clubs
Ten people reading the same novel at ten different speeds, each unlocking the author’s notes at their own pace, is a meeting that runs itself. Nobody gets spoiled and nobody has to pretend they finished.
The Book Behind the App
Built by Chris Weiss, who is also writing The Last Bites.
The first Author’s Cut in Bookmark is mine, on the opening chapters of my own unfinished novel. Why the fifth steak is cooked the way it is. What the kitchen timer in chapter three is actually counting. Which lines came out of a real kitchen and which ones I made up entirely. The notes surface as you reach the passages they belong to, which means I get to talk about the ending of a scene only to people who have finished it.
To be clear about what this is. The app doesn’t contain the novel, just the commentary and your place in it. The chapters themselves are free right here.
