You Read a Lot of Books, But...How Many Do You Actually Remember?

Be honest. You gave that romantasy 5 stars in March, and by July you couldn't name the male main character if your life depended on it. 

Readwisp is the desktop app that fixes your book amnesia. 

Readwisp is currently in public beta. Features are actively being developed and improved.

Spreadsheets Are Good. But They Don’t Have Brains.

We all love a good color-coded spreadsheet. But let's call a spade a spade: a spreadsheet is just a digital filing cabinet. 
  • It doesn't know when you should re-read a favorite. 
  • It doesn't track how much of a plot you've actually retained. 
It just sits there, judging you for having hundreds of books on your TBR pile.

Readwisp is different. 
It's a full desktop app designed specifically for readers who devour books at an alarming rate, and then almost immediately forget what happened. 

No more scrolling through your Kindle going, "Wait, did I read this? Was there a dragon? Did they bang?"

Your Data, Your Rules.  No Subscriptions.  No Cloud Creeps.

Readwisp is a standalone desktop app for Windows and Mac. That means:
  • No monthly fees. You buy it once, you own it forever.
  • 100% private. Your embarrassing reading habits live locally on your computer, not on some tech bro's server.
  • Works offline. Because sometimes you need to log a book while hiding in a cabin with no Wi-Fi.
Minimum System Requirements:

• Windows: Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, at least 4 GB RAM
• Mac: macOS 11 Big Sur or later. Choose the Apple Silicon download for M1, M2, M3, or M4 Macs; choose the Intel download for Intel-base
Recommended during installation for both OS: Keep at least 1 GB free on your computer’s main drive while installing Readwisp. Your computer needs temporary space to unpack the download safely.
