A calmer home for your book club
Run the meetings, vote on the next read, and keep a beautiful shelf of everything you've finished, without streaks, badges, or an algorithm deciding what you want next.
Everything a real club does, in one quiet place.
The Doodle poll, the email chain, the Facebook group, the spreadsheet of who's read what, folded into a single calm tool that respects your evening.
The spine shelf
Every book you finish becomes a spine on a shelf you built, a library to be proud of, not a feed to scroll past.
Meetings that have a place
A real time and location, RSVPs, and gentle reminders, so the club just shows up. Add any meeting to your own calendar.
Vote on the next read
Ranked-choice voting on books and dates, so the pick feels like the club's, not the loudest member's.
Discussion guides
Pin a guide to each meeting so the conversation always has somewhere to start. No scrambling the night before.
Honest ratings, your history
Half-star ratings with genre and mood tags. Bring everything over from Goodreads in a single import.
Buy indie, or just borrow
Find any title on Bookshop.org or Libro.fm, never Amazon, or check if your local library has a copy first.
Built to be put down.
Your club meets next month, and someone has to choose the next read. That's the whole reason to open Viraldico, and it's enough. So it's built to be set aside. You open it when the club needs you: cast your vote, check the next meeting, add a finished book to your shelf. Then you close it, and the evening is yours again. Your reading stays yours, and never runs through a model. The pull is the club, not the app.
Calm, and good to look at.
The two surfaces you live in: a spine shelf of everything you've finished, and a club page that holds the next meeting, the current book, and the vote.
Built around the club, not the click.
Most apps track an event, or a title, or one solo reader. Here the club is a real, lasting thing: a roster, a reading queue, a current title, a cadence, an attendance history, a pinned guide.
That's why one host brings their whole circle, and why a club still needs you in month nine.
- An event a calendar entry that vanishes after the date
- A title a book with no people attached
- A solo reader stats for an audience of one
- A club the people, the queue, the rhythm, kept
Run your library's clubs, without surrendering patron privacy.
A console that sits on top of the tools you already run, takes the reporting off your plate, and is built to clear reader-privacy law rather than skirt it.
01Patrons join without accounts
Library-mediated mode lets patrons take part with no account and no reading history stored. The data model structurally can't hold what it never collects.
02The board report, in one click
Program counts, attendance, and outcomes as a single PDF shaped for the IMLS survey and Project Outcome. A monthly club is twelve programs, counted correctly.
03Meetings have a real date, time, and place
Every meeting carries its location, RSVPs, and reminders, and anyone can add it to their own calendar. One less thing to chase before the night.
04Kits, tracked, and circulation
Track your book-club-in-a-bag kits as club assets, and keep sending patrons back to the desk to borrow and return them.
Your reading is yours.
Aggregate by default. Anonymous outcome surveys. Accountless participation for library patrons. We treat reading data as something to protect, not something to mine.
