BookStates - Follow your reading journey - insightfully and intuitively.

Discovered this cool reading companion that pushes the boundaries of digital tools for readers in many interesting ways.

The are so many things to like about this product - it has a very clean and simple UI which packs a lot of powerful features like (impressive) AI powered reading motivation, reflective questions (this is probably a first!), mood constellation based book discovery (what!) and detailed analysis of your read books which provides you with a reader archetype.

Of course it also has features like reader profile and reading progress tracker that you would obviously expect from a tool like this. And I think there are some cool community features planned for later (book clubs, groups, etc!)

Really excited for what’s in store. All the best, Adit!

I’m a book lover, so I’m glad to see a product that helps enhance the reading experience. I’ll definitely make time to try out BookStates.

Hey everyone 👋
I'm Adit, the maker of BookStates. What better day to launch BookStates than the World Book Day!! 📚

This one comes straight from my heart. I’ve always believed that reading is more than just finishing books—it’s about how they shape us, quietly and powerfully. BookStates began as a simple tool to track what I was reading, but it quickly grew into something much more meaningful.

There are some interesting features to make your reading enjoyable:
1. Reading Streak
2. Discover your reader archetype
3. Reading motivation and thoughts to ponder once you complete a book
4. An analysis of your reading pattern (there are lots of stats too!)
5. Visually discovering books through "Mood Constellation"
6. Your Reader Profile

7. Reading Calendar View

8. Staff Picks

I wanted to build a space where readers could not only track progress but also pause, reflect, and uncover insights about their own journey through books. A place that felt calm, thoughtful, and truly personal.

The product is and will always be free.
I'm planning some pro features in future for those who would love to go deep:
1. Capture highlights for physical books and get a weekly/monthly email digest of your highlights
2. See author connections to explore fascinating relationships between authors in your library and to discover new literary connections.
3. Get personalized recommendations to expand your literary horizons based on AI analysis of your reading history.
4. Even more reading analytics and visualizations!!

BookStates is growing every day—and your feedback means the world. If you’re someone who loves books, quiet reflection, or just beautifully designed tools, I’d love for you to try it and tell me what you think. The native mobile apps are also coming very soon!

Thanks for being here and supporting solo builders like me. 💛

Let’s reimagine what it means to read—with depth, delight, and discovery!!

BookStates sounds like a love letter to readers—deeply thoughtful. The “Mood Constellation” idea is especially cool. Any plans to let users share those constellations or reader profiles with friends? Could be a beautiful way to connect through books.
