Paste a link, get a card.
Drop any URL. Open Graph data — title, description, cover image — is pulled in one round-trip so your pile is readable at a glance.
01Paste a URL. Keep the thought. BookPile turns your scattered tabs into a single, organised pile — searchable, tagged, yours.
Works with the platforms you already use
What you get
Not a read-later app. Not a Notion page. A small, opinionated tool that turns URLs into browseable cards — nothing more, nothing less.
Drop any URL. Open Graph data — title, description, cover image — is pulled in one round-trip so your pile is readable at a glance.
01X, YouTube, Reddit, GitHub, and the rest are recognised automatically with brand colours and icons. Unknown domain? Roll your own.
02Tech, Programming, Design — or whatever you type in the create field. Topics are stored per user and never leak across accounts.
03Every keystroke filters the pile client-side. No reloads. No spinner. Just your stuff, narrower.
04How it works
BookPile reads the page headers and extracts a title, a description, and a cover image.
01Platforms are detected. Topics are one keystroke away. Adjust anything before saving.
02Your pile sorts by date, filters by platform or topic, and searches in real time.
03Everything inside
Nine things BookPile does well. No email digests. No AI-summaries. No second app.
Titles, descriptions, cover images — all pulled from the page itself.
Add a Bluesky, a Substack, anything. Upload an icon, pick a colour.
Type a name, it's a topic. Delete it when it stops being useful.
Click Reddit in the sidebar — see only Reddit. Expand it, filter by topic.
Auto-fetched image wrong? Drop in a replacement up to 5MB.
A warm cream sheet or a near-black page. Your choice, saved locally.
Sessions signed with your AUTH_SECRET. Bookmarks scoped to you.
Pencil to edit, escape to close. No mouse needed if you don't want one.
Ships to Vercel with three env vars. MongoDB connection, secret, URL.
