Keep what you read, and what it made you think.
Reader's Friend is a calm home for your books — track where you are, write notes in the margin you'll actually find again, and read alongside friends in clubs that meet, and finish.
Three quiet habits, one place to keep them.
Track what you’re reading
Shelves for reading, finished, and want-to-read. Pick up exactly where you left off — Reader’s Friend remembers the page so you don’t have to.
Note it in the margin
Highlight a passage, write the thought it sparked, and pin it to the page. Every note is searchable later — the good ones never get lost.
Read with your people
Start a club, set a pace, and talk as you go. Shared progress keeps everyone roughly on the same page — and gets the book actually finished.
Suppose I were to begin by saying that I had fallen in love with a color. Suppose I were to speak this as though it were a confession.
The confession framing — she makes a private obsession sound almost criminal. Sets the whole tone.
The best part of a book is what you thought while reading it.
Most reading apps count your pages. Reader's Friend keeps your thinking. Highlight a line, write a note beside it, and it stays pinned to the page — and collected in one place you can search.
- Clay and spruce highlights for the two kinds of marking
- Every note searchable, long after you’ve finished
- Share a note with a friend, or keep it just for you
Read together, in good company.
Pick a book, set a gentle pace, and keep a running conversation in the margins together. Shared progress means no one's left behind — and the book actually gets finished.
