Colloquy

Your library, ad infinitum.

Colloquy is a personal library and reading-visit tracker. Built by Bobby for the people he shares books with — sign up to start your own.

Not another shelf to perform for.

Most library apps are built to be social first: a feed, a star rating, a shelf other people can browse. Colloquy is built the other way around — it’s a private record of what you actually own and actually read, kept for your own sake.

Sessions, not scores

No star ratings, no reviews, no shelves to justify. Log a visit — how far you got and what struck you — and let that be the whole record.

Structure you can see

A spreadsheet hides the shape of a collection. Colloquy turns it into something you can actually look at — the same books, seen a different way.

Your data stays yours

No feed, no strangers, no algorithm deciding what you see next. Import a Goodreads export whenever you want out of there, and export back to CSV whenever you want out of here.

Track your library

Books, journals and their articles, series, editors, formats, themes, and covers — everything you own or want to read, in one place.

Log reading sessions

Jot down each sitting: how far you got, when, and any notes worth remembering — a diary of the reading itself, not a rating of it.

Loans & ownership

Track what's borrowed versus owned, who has your copy, and when it's due back.

Import and export freely

Bring a Goodreads export or any spreadsheet in as CSV, and pull your whole library back out the same way, any time.

Analytics

How your library has grown, what you actually read, and which authors and themes you keep returning to.

Eight ways to see it

Browse your collection as a force-directed web, a chord diagram, a sunburst, a treemap, and more — instead of a flat list.

See your library differently

The Graph page renders your whole collection as a web of authors, themes, and categories instead of a list. Try the sample library below — it’s the same view you’d get on your own.

Every book connects outward to its author, themes, and category. Hover a node to trace its links.
