Little ways to read more, take better notes and make a book your own. From the Basmo journal.

Read the journal

Remember what you read.

While it might be easy for some readers to read and remember a good chunk of what they read – whether they enjoyed the book or not – it’s, however, super difficult for others to recall books, plots, or even characters in the story. Does this mean that there’s something wrong with you if you

Make better book notes.

Learning how to take notes while reading a book is one of the most efficient ways to understand a book and improve your learning skills. And that’s because reading something for 2 hours doesn’t mean you paid attention to everything you’ve read during that time. Often, our minds like to wander even when reading. It’s

Keep a reading record.

Most of us do not realize the importance of a book reading tracker — at least not until we find ourselves in a situation where we bump into a book and we can’t quite recall if we have read it or simply glanced at it at the bookstore or newsstand. In this article, we shall

A few good
questions.

What is Basmo?

Basmo is a companion for the books you read. Use it to organize your library, track reading sessions and keep notes. Supported AI features can help you explore book ideas and return to what you saved.

Does Basmo contain the full books?

Basmo helps you work with books, ideas and your own reading notes. It is not a library of full ebooks or licensed audiobooks. Key-idea audio and personal recaps are generated narration, rather than the original audiobook.

Can I use it without a subscription?

Basic reading tracking and your original notes remain available without a subscription in the redesigned experience. Some AI, audio and advanced features require Premium and an internet connection. The app shows the available plans and terms before you subscribe.

Can I bring my existing reading notes?

Supported imports include Kindle clippings and reading-history files. Review the entries before adding them to your library. The exact import options depend on your app version.

How does AI use my notes?

When you use a remote AI feature, the relevant question, selected notes, passage or audio script is processed by the providers supporting that feature. Review How AI works and the Privacy Policy for the different text, narration and discovery paths. AI can make mistakes; your source notes stay important.
