Bound

A reading companion for people who actually want to read more.

Try it →

Your shelf, in your pocket.

Hover a spine to pull it forward. Bound treats your library like a real shelf, not a database — every book has weight, color, and a place.

Bound app
What it does

Built for one specific kind of person.

01

Currently reading

Keep one book front and center. Track pages, time, and where you left off.

02

Reading streaks

Gentle daily nudges that build a habit instead of a guilt loop.

03

Your shelf

A real library you actually want to open. Sort by mood, length, or stack.

04

No feed, ever

Your reading life stays yours. No followers, no public stats.

Behind the build

Most reading apps optimize for sharing. I wanted one that optimized for finishing the next chapter.

Bound tracks your books, your streaks, and the time you give to reading — without turning it into another social feed. Built for people who treat reading as a practice, not a leaderboard.
