How it works

From the personal library to the community, without losing the sense of Otium.

Tracking reads, finding a note again, saving a reread, sharing a shelf, discovering a new book: Otium starts from real gestures and makes them legible.

Track

Track reading and progress

Keep read, current, and future books together. Every transition stays legible, without forcing you to remember everything.

Save reading state, dates, and rereads.
Keep read, current, and want-to-read books clearly separated.
Recover your history without scattered spreadsheets.

Library

Arrange shelves, lists, and themes

Your personal library does not stay a flat list. You can divide it into shelves, filters, themes, and priorities.

Organise wishlists, TBR piles, and themed collections.
Filter by author, title, ISBN, and reading state.
Keep order even as the library grows.
