Basmo

Basmo is a reading companion designed to help users track time spent reading, journal emotions, and organize book ideas. It targets readers who want to understand their reading habits, reflect on their experiences, and keep a digital shelf of finished and current reads. The tool combines timeline tracking with notes, quotes, and goals to support ongoing reading practice.

The platform centers on an AI ChatBook that interacts with books, offering summaries or explanations within the reading experience. This AI feature is a way to deepen comprehension and engagement, linking conversations to the user’s library and reading goals.

Users can highlight passages, take notes, and save quotes as images for sharing with others. The app also encourages routine creation and reminders to promote consistency in daily reading and progress toward yearly goals.

Basmo provides a configurable reading workflow that includes progress tracking, reminders, and a public-facing emphasis on personal growth through reading. It aims to help readers organize their habits, set targets, and reflect on their emotional journey as they read.
