For people who still read paper books

The bookmark that remembers.

Press. Speak. Keep reading. Spine captures your thoughts the moment you have them, without picking up your phone. Your notes wait for you in the app, sorted by book.

Noted. You're on the list. We'll email you the day our Kickstarter goes live.

No spam. Just a few updates and a heads-up when our Kickstarter launches.

Three moments.
Your phone stays put.

01

Press and speak

A thought hits mid-chapter. Press Spine's side button and say it out loud. The bookmark records on its own, so your phone can stay in another room.

02

It follows your current book

Pick the book you're reading in the app, and every note you record goes straight to it. Switch books whenever you like, and the same Spine comes with you.

03

Open the app later

When you set the book down, Spine syncs quietly in the background. Your notes appear transcribed and organized under the right book.

Spine bookmark peeking above a closed book

Sits above the book.
Pressable without opening it.

The box head stays above the top edge of the book when it's closed, so the button is always within reach. One press, anywhere, anytime. The tail holds your page below.

No fumbling. No opening the book. No losing your place.

Spine bookmark in its all-black design

One Spine. All your books.

Most reading tools ask you to adapt your habits around them. Spine is designed to disappear into your reading life. Always in the book, always ready, never in the way.

Why not a notebook,
or just Voice Memos?

Notebook & sticky notes
  • Set the book down, find a pen, find the page
  • Writing it out pulls you out of the story
  • Sticky notes fall out, margins mark up the book
  • Your thoughts end up scattered across pages and pads
Voice Memos
  • Find your phone, unlock it, open the app
  • Notes pile up with no book or page attached
  • Filing and organizing happens never
  • One notification and your reading's over
Spine
  • Press the bookmark. It's already in the book
  • Say it in seconds and keep reading
  • Nothing written in, stuck to, or bent in your book
  • Every note transcribed and filed under the right book
