Why Kitabi

A real bookshelf, finally digital

Reading apps track what you read. Cataloguing apps list what you own. Kitabi does both — and remembers which friend still has your favourite paperback.

📚

Covers-first library

Your shelves look like shelves. Books without cover photos get a quietly typeset cover of their own — no broken-image grid, ever.

Lending ledgerFREE

“Lent to Anu, 2 June, due back in two weeks.” A proper record with a gentle reminder — never lose a book to a forgetful friend again.

Import in minutes

Bring your Goodreads export or that trusty spreadsheet. Kitabi matches your columns, shelves, ratings and reviews — 142 rows, one tap.

Your reading, your notes

Statuses, page progress, star ratings, reviews — plus truly private notes (“signed copy, don’t lend”). Everything starts private. You decide what’s shared.

Your year in pages

Books per month, pages read, languages on your shelf — clean, paper-toned stats that feel like a reading journal, not a dashboard.

Picks that show their work

Recommendations reasoned from your ratings, each with a plain-words “why”. Opt-in, easy to switch off, never a feed.

Reads your language

മലയാളം · தமிழ் · English & beyond

Kitabi is built from India’s bookshelves up — regional-language titles are first-class citizens, and translations link back to the original work, so Mayyazhippuzhayude Theerangalil and On the Banks of the Mayyazhi are one book, not two.

“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”

— Jorge Luis Borges
