Creators deserve better than screenshots
You've read amazing books. You want to share your reading journey. But how are you doing it today?
Messy Screenshots
Phone photos of book covers cluttering your camera roll. Hard to organize, impossible to share elegantly.
No Context or Story
A static list doesn't tell anyone why a book changed your life. Your reading identity gets lost.
Zero Monetization
You recommend books constantly but have no easy way to earn from your authentic recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Booktrail
Yes! Booktrail is completely free to use. You can create your public reading timeline, add books with Google Books search, write creator summaries, and share your profile anywhere.
We may introduce premium features in the future, but the core functionality will always be free.
You can add optional buy links to any book on your shelf. Use your existing affiliate links from Amazon, Bookshop.org, or any other retailer. All clicks are tracked through our redirect endpoint so you can see what's converting.
Currently, you can search and add books using Google Books API. Import from Goodreads, CSV, or Notion is on our roadmap for future updates.
Your Booktrail gets a unique URL (e.g., booktrail.com/yourname) that's perfect for link-in-bio. Share it on Twitter, in your newsletter, or anywhere you want to showcase your reading identity.
