Facts

  1. Works alongside your own copy of the book and does not contain the book. Snap a photo of the page you are on, type the page number, or for an audiobook enter the last phrase you heard. It syncs to your exact place, not just the chapter. [2]
  2. Gives a recap that stops exactly where you are, a cast list of who's who built only from what you have read, spoiler-free answers to questions about the story so far, and chat with characters who only know the story up to your page. [1]
  3. The website calls it BYOB, bring, buy or borrow your own book: "Hardcover, paperback, audio book, ebook or library loan." [1]
  4. Supported titles only. It launched with romance, fantasy, romantasy, YA, sci-fi and historical fiction titles popular on BookTok and Bookstagram, adds more over time, and lets you request a title in the app. [1]
  5. Audiobook support arrived in October 2026: the release notes for version 1.1 (21 October) and the current version 1.1.1 (27 October) read "Now with audiobook support: get spoiler-free recaps for any book format." [2]
  6. Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 25 ratings on the US App Store, a small number of ratings. English only. Age rating 13+. [2]
  7. Privacy label: data used to track you includes identifiers. Data linked to you includes purchases, contact info, user content (photos), search history, identifiers, usage data and diagnostics. [2]
