Blind date reveals
Mood-matched books, hidden until you commit.
Your next read is waiting. You just can't see it yet.
Answer a few questions about your mood. Get matched to a perfect book. The title stays hidden until you're ready to meet it.
The mechanic
A blind date. With a book.
Most apps show you what to read. Paguely shows you clues.
You commit before you know. Then the cover appears.
No blurb to skim. No cover to judge. No star rating to talk you out of it. Just a feeling, four clues, and the small thrill of saying yes to something you cannot see yet.
The reveal
This is what it feels like.
We asked how you were feeling. You said:
MelancholicSet in a city that never sleeps, but everyone is hiding something.
The kind of book you finish at 2am and stare at the ceiling after.
A friendship that becomes something more complicated.
Longlisted for a major prize. Quietly devastating.

Questions
Good to know.
How does Paguely work?
You answer a few questions about your mood. Paguely matches you to a book and gives you a handful of atmospheric clues, with no title, author or cover. When you are ready, you commit and the book is revealed. From there you can buy it, borrow it free where available, or add it to your shelf.
Is Paguely free?
Yes. Free readers get three reveals every month, the full shelf and reading tracker, and can follow friends. Paguely+ adds unlimited reveals, unlimited re-rolls of a match before you commit, and full reading stats. The annual plan starts with a free trial. See the pricing section above.
Is Paguely a Goodreads alternative?
Paguely is built around discovering your next book, with a shelf and reading tracker alongside. If you already have a Goodreads library, you can import it from your Goodreads CSV export.
Can I track my reading in Paguely?
Yes. Your shelf holds Want to Read, Reading and Read lists, with progress, streaks and reading stats.
Is Paguely on Android?
Yes. Paguely is on iOS and Android. Get it on the App Store or Google Play using the buttons on this page.
