For readers and hosts

A quieter way to read together.

Run your book club without the busywork, and keep a shelf of everything you have read. Viraldico holds the small logistics so your evenings can be about the book and the people in the room.

The idea

The reading comes first.

Everything here is shaped around one idea, that reading together should feel calm. The club is the reason you keep coming back, month after month, and the tools should stay quietly out of the way. So they do.

What you get

Everything a real club does, in one quiet place.

The poll in the group chat, the date buried in someone's email, the spreadsheet of who has read what. Viraldico gathers them into a single calm place, and then gets out of the way.

Your shelf

Every book you finish becomes a spine on a shelf that feels like yours. Rate it in half-stars, note the mood and the genre, and watch the year quietly fill in. If you have years of reading logged elsewhere, bring it across from Goodreads in a single import.

The meeting

Set a real time and place, let everyone say whether they are coming, and a gentle reminder goes out beforehand. Anyone can add the meeting to their own calendar in a tap.

The next book

Put a few titles to a ranked vote and let the club decide together, so the choice feels like everyone's rather than the loudest member's.

The conversation

Pin a discussion guide to the meeting, so the night always has somewhere to begin, without anyone scrambling the evening before.

When it is time to find the book, Viraldico points you to your local library first, and then to Bookshop.org or Libro.fm. Never to Amazon.

See it

Calm, and good to look at.

No rush

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.

Our privacy promise

Your reading is yours.

We treat what you read as something to protect, not something to mine. No ads, no cross-site tracking, and nothing sold to anyone. You can export your shelves or leave whenever you like, and the readers you invite never pay a cent to take part.

Start your club in a few quiet minutes.

Set it up, invite your readers, and choose the first book together. It is free, and it stays free for everyone you bring.
