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.

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.
