happybook is live on the App Store. Download it and rediscover the joy of reading, day after day — Android is coming very soon.
Is it free?
happybook will be free at launch. A premium plan may be offered later for advanced features, but the core of the app will stay accessible to everyone.
What's the difference with Goodreads?
Goodreads is a catalog. happybook is an experience. We focus on a calm social dimension (see what your friends are reading, not strangers), a modern mobile-first design, and emotional stats — not just a book counter.
Is my data public?
No. You choose what you share — current reads, reviews, lists. Everything can stay private. Social features are opt-in, not opt-out.
Can I use it now?
Yes! happybook is available now on the App Store. The Android app is coming very soon.
Does happybook recommend books?
Yes — through the Discover section (trends, community reviews, shared lists) and your friends' feed. The best recommendations come from people you trust.
Social dimension
