How it works

You shouldn't have to prompt your way to a good book.

You can ask any AI for a book recommendation. It will happily give you one — after you explain your taste, list what you've already read, and try again when it suggests the thing you finished last month. Every time.

Litworthy flips that. It learns from the reading you already do and shows up at the moments that matter, so you never start from a blank box.

The moments it shows up

When you finish a book. One tap for how it felt, then three directions: go deeper, the same feeling in new territory, or a wildcard. Each comes with a reason tied to your own reactions. Tap Shorter, Lighter, or Surprise me to steer.

When you open the app. One card at a time: the next book for you, with picks from friends first. Add it, pass on it, or tell us you've read it — every answer sharpens the next.

When you want a journey. Reading paths string a few books into an evolving idea. Finish a step and the path moves on. If one doesn't land, it offers a new direction instead of pushing through.

Honest ratings make better suggestions

Five stars can't tell a book that comforted you from one that broke you open. Litworthy's emotion wheel, quick reactions, and DNF shelf capture the difference — and that's exactly what makes the suggestions feel like they came from someone who knows you.

What the AI sees — and what it never does

  • Sees: the titles, authors, and genres on your shelves, which shelf they're on, your ratings, reactions and emotions, and your answers to suggestions.
  • Never sees: your notes, your email, your username, or who your buddies are.
  • You can see what Litworthy has learned about your taste, correct it, and tell it what to steer away from.
  • No ads. No selling your reading data. Shelves stay private by default.
