About BookStates

Books are not just things we read — they're mirrors, teachers, and companions.

But too often, our reading lives disappear into forgotten pages or scattered notes. BookStates is built to bring it all together. To turn your reading into a visible, meaningful, living archive.

This is not about gamification. It's about self-discovery through books.

BookStates is a full-time, independently built product — crafted by a solo founder who's both a designer and a lifelong reader.

There's no team, no investors, no distractions. Just a clear vision: To build the most beautiful, mindful reading experience in the world.

Every feature is designed with care — not to keep you online, but to help you go deeper into the books you love.

Hi, I'm Adit. I'm a designer, reader, and solo founder of BookStates.

Over the years, I've led design teams at global companies and built a few products from scratch. But BookStates is the most personal — born from a lifelong love of books and a desire to reflect more deeply on how they shape us.

I believe reading is a creative act. What you underline, where you pause, what you remember — it's all a portrait of your inner life. BookStates is my attempt to capture that.

I hope it becomes your favorite space — to reflect, remember, and grow through books.
