Livtet
A book collection manager built around the books you actually own, available across desktop, Android, and iOS, with your library living on your own device.
What's in the box today
Desktop is available today, the Android app is available today, and the iOS app is on the way.
Heading next
A few of the directions in flight, kept short so the live roadmap below stays the source of truth.
- A hosted place to publish a reading list as a public web link that anyone can follow and get notified about, even without the app.
- A browseable catalog of installable plugins, so trusted plugins are easier to find and install than they are today.
- Series and volume grouping on the work page, so omnibus editions and custom reading orders have a place to live.
- A full hosted, browser-based version of the app for the moments when no device is handy.
- Richer book previews when you share from your phone, so the book drops into chats and messages as something tappable rather than a plain link.
Beyond the library
The same library, opened up — authors can ship plugins that extend the catalog, run their own page and community, and your account is the bridge to the broader social web.
- Build a plugin in a small scripting language and ship it — the plugin surface covers reading-progress sync, annotations, reading lists, and series grouping.
- Submit your plugin to a curated, signed repository on the way, so readers can discover and install trusted extensions.
- Verified author and publisher pages with a hosted author site on a free subdomain or your own custom domain, plus giveaways and preorder alerts readers can opt into.
- Your account is yours across every device, with a public reading profile and a follow graph on the way — share what you read with the broader social web on your own terms.
On the wider web
The same library, connected to a wider reading community — without giving up where your data lives.
- A public reading profile that travels with your account, so people who know you can see what you read.
- Follow other readers, get notified about their updates, and see a side-by-side comparison of where your tastes overlap.
- Recommendations from your own reading history, with an opt-in pool to surface books that people like you enjoyed.
- Book clubs where members propose and vote on what to read next, with recurring rounds and shared reading lists.
