Oku is the companion app for your bookshelf. Track your reading, review & recommend books, create custom collections & follow your friends to receive their updates.
Good morning product hunt :)
Myself, @azizfirat and @yavorpunchev have been working on Oku in our spare time from our bedrooms and now felt like a good time to share.
Originally we wanted to track our own reading lists but also to see our friend’s thoughts & book recommendations too. Oku was built to solve that.
Some features include:
* Track your reading lists
* Review & recommend books
* Organise custom collections
* Follow your friends
* Import your books & collections directly from Goodreads (or start fresh)
* Set reading goals & view stats (premium, coupon code below 👀)
* Install the PWA directly to your phone
I’ve always been kinda interested in tracking and quantifying things. Books, music, sleep, etc. I had been a Goodreads user for years, and it was obvious there were plenty of people like me. The problem is Goodreads is cluttered and chaotic, and has seemed pretty stagnant since Amazon acquired it back in 2013.
Here we are 18 months later, with a name change & some small paid features behind us! We believe that being member-supported is the only way to truly align our interests with readers best interests (opposed to advertisers/Amazon’s best interests.)
Naturally it felt like time to see what Product Hunt thinks, so would love to hear it! Happy to answer any questions 🙂
And if you read this far you should be expecting a coupon code! Try code PRODUCTHUNT at checkout for 20% off all plans.
@azizfirat@yavorpunchev@joe_alcorn There are the top 7 books that I always recommend to friends, from historical fiction to easy beach reads. 📚 😊 I noticed that when my friends recommend some book, more likely I will actually love it. 🤓 I believe you'll get a huge fan base soon🚀

I have been using Oku for a while now and I must say it's one of my favorite apps to use!
Oku is a unique app that has made me read more books. Paired with the minimalistic design of the app it's perfect for daily use.
Absolutely love the design. The Oku rebrand is really growing on me as well.
?makers only question is that are you considering having regional pricing parity any time soon?
Thanks for the kind words Harshit!
We'd love to do some regional pricing, we use paddle checkout so it's hopefully not a gigantic undertaking. We should be able to sort out an appropriate discount code in the meantime though! Feel free to email us at team@oku.club :)
Super excited to see Oku on Product Hunt! I've been using the platform for a while now and it feels like a breath of fresh air. Stoked to see where @azizfirat and @yavorpunchev take it moving forward.

I've been using Trello for my next/current/done book lists, but it's not ideal. I find GoodReads to be a bit full on, so it's gonna be great to try this! Thanks @mutlu82@azizfirat@yavorpunchev@joe_alcorn !
Nice one, I like this kind of book apps! But these last few months I think I came across several of them on PH, so what is this one's USP?
Congratulations on the launch! :)
