Track every book. Never buy a duplicate gift again.
FolioStory is a reading tracker built for people who share their reading life — log books, hit your goals, and keep a wishlist your friends and family can actually buy from, without anyone doubling up.
No credit card. No app to install. Just open your browser.
For readers
Log every book you pick up, track pages and progress, and watch your stats, streaks, and genres build up over time.
For your friends & family
A wishlist they can actually shop from — with quiet, automatic protection against two people buying the same book.
For book people
Send recommendations back and forth with friends, and get personalized picks on Discover based on what you've read.
See your reading life at a glance
Every book you log feeds a dashboard built to actually be useful: total books, pages read, genres explored, and a real reading streak that tracks consecutive days of activity — not just days since your last finish.
Switch between this month, this year, and all-time, and see how much you've spent on books versus how much you've received as gifts.
The wishlist that solves gift-giving
Mark any book "Want to Read" and it shows up on your Wishlist automatically — no separate list to maintain. Share it with one tap over WhatsApp, email, or directly to a friend who's also on FolioStory.
- Buy links included, with your own Amazon affiliate tag if you use one
- Send and receive recommendations with friends, right from your library
- When a book is already bought for you, it's quietly marked as covered — so the surprise stays intact
One shelf for everything you've read, are reading, or want to
Group your library by author, genre, reading status, or star rating, and search across all of it instantly. Every book gets a cover, a progress bar, and a status that updates your dashboard and wishlist automatically.
Add books by hand or look them up by ISBN — FolioStory fills in the title, author, and cover for you.
Everything else you'd expect — and a few things you wouldn't
FolioStory started as a personal project to fix one annoying problem: family members buying the same book twice. It grew from there.
Streaks & goals
Set a pages-per-day or finish-by-date goal for anything you're reading, and see whether you're on track in real time.
Discover recommendations
A "book of the day" pick generated from the genres and authors you actually read, not a generic bestseller list.
ISBN & Google Books lookup
Scan or type an ISBN and FolioStory fills in the details and cover art automatically.
Achievements & levels
Unlock badges as you read and recommend, and level up from Page Turner to Master Recommender.
Spending & gift tracking
See what you've spent on books versus what you've received as gifts, broken down by genre.
Dark mode, obviously
Because half of reading happens after the lights go down.
Built to just work
FolioStory runs entirely in your browser. There's no ad tracking, no email drip campaign, and no company holding your reading history to ransom — it's free because it costs almost nothing to run, and it stays that way.

No setup, no spreadsheet, no more duplicate gifts.
