"Previously On..." for books. AI-powered recaps and spoiler-free chat that never reads ahead of you. Try free for 7 days.
Ever Google a character's name and accidentally spoil the whole book? BookPal is the AI reading companion that never reads ahead of you. Think "Previously On..." recaps, but for books.
BookPal's AI only knows what you've read so far. Every chat answer, every recap, every insight is guaranteed spoiler-free. No more tiptoeing around the internet to remember a plot point.
-------
PREVIOUSLY ON...
TV-style recaps that catch you up before each reading session. Pick up any book after days or weeks away and remember exactly where the story left off, with key events labeled MAJOR and MINOR so you can skim or go deep.
SPOILER-FREE AI CHAT
Forgot a character's name? Confused by a plot twist three chapters ago? Ask BookPal anything about your book. The AI is grounded in only the pages you've read, so it will never reveal what happens next.
SESSION INSIGHTS
After each reading session, get automatically generated "Aha Moments" -- themes, standout quotes, and observations extracted from exactly what you just read. Your personal reading journal, written for you.
SNAP & SYNC
Reading a physical book? Just photograph your page. BookPal matches it to your exact position in the text, no manual page counting. Works with paperbacks, hardcovers, and e-readers.
BUILT-IN EPUB READER
A beautiful reader with light, sepia, and dark themes, multiple fonts, and adjustable text sizes. Your position saves automatically so you never lose your place.
EXPLORE & READ

Reading streaks, session history on an interactive timeline, and AI recaps for any past session, all in one place.
