How it works

How Mindly builds a reading library

  1. Save a book PDF, EPUB, or just a list of highlights via ⌘M. Add a one-line reaction or quote of your own.
  2. Mindly generates a structured summary: main argument, key chapters, surprising claims, your highlights pulled out.
  3. AI tags by theme automatically: "stoicism", "design", "negotiation". Every book that touches an idea is findable in one search.
  4. Use the mind map to see how books connect across themes. Books read years apart cluster around shared ideas.

When to use it

Why a book library matters

Re-reading without re-reading

Mindly's summary plus your highlights gets you 80% back into a book in 5 minutes.

Cross-book themes

Two books say the same thing in different ways. The mind map surfaces the overlap.

Writing references

Pulling a quote into an essay: search by the idea, not the book name.

Reading list management

Currently reading, next up, finished, abandoned. All tagged automatically.


Why it matters

Why your books deserve a real library

Most people read 30 books a year and remember 3. Not because the books were bad, but because nothing structured connects what you read to what you do. A real library of book summaries, tagged and linked, turns reading from entertainment into infrastructure.
