How to save a book you see online
You see a book in a post or a photo, screenshot it or save the post, and a month later you cannot find it, or remember why you wanted it. Buki keeps the book itself: right-click the picture in Chrome, and Buki names the book and puts it on your shelf with the page you found it on.

Where saved books get lost
| How you save it | What you keep | What you lose |
|---|---|---|
| A screenshot | The picture | A title you can search for, while the picture sinks into your camera roll |
| A bookmark or a saved post | The post | The title, in one long list with everything else you saved |
| A notes app or Goodreads | A title you can search for | The reason, unless you typed that in too |
| Buki | The title, read from the picture, and the page you found it on | Nothing you have to type |
How to save a book with Buki
- Add Buki to Chrome. Ten catches are free, with no account and no card.
- Catch the book. Right-click its picture on any site and choose Save book to shelf. On X, press the Buki button under the post instead.
- Check the name. Buki reads the cover with an AI vision model and checks the title against OpenLibrary, so you see the book it found before you keep it.
- Find it again. Open Buki from the toolbar: every book you caught, face out, under Reading now, Next, Someday and Finished.
Questions people ask
What is the easiest way to save a book I see online?
Catch it from the picture. With Buki in Chrome, right-click the cover and choose Save book to shelf, or press the Buki button under a post on X. Buki names the book and keeps it on your shelf.
How do I remember why I wanted a book?
Keep where you found it. Buki keeps the page every book was caught on, and on X it keeps a link to the post you found it in, so the reason is one click away.
What if the picture shows a stack of books?
Buki names up to 20 books in one picture, and you keep the ones you want.
Do I need an account?
No. Your shelf lives in your browser, on your computer.
Is it free?
Ten catches are free, and a catch is one picture, however many books it holds. Then $29 a year, or $4 a month, or free with your own Google AI Studio key.
Can I move my list to Goodreads or StoryGraph?
Yes. Buki exports a CSV in Goodreads' format, which StoryGraph reads too.
