Reading journal for paper books. Scan a quote from any page in seconds.
Booklit is a reading journal and book tracker for people who read paper books. Keep your shelf, your reading goal and the sentences you want to remember. Take a photo of the page, swipe over the lines with your finger like a highlighter, and the quote is saved with its page number. No account, no ads, no subscription.
QUOTES IN SECONDS
