No ads. No algorithms. No engagement metrics. Just books.
Page Commons is a quiet place for readers. No social feed, no follower counts, no algorithmic recommendations. Just books and the people who read them.
A private AI companion you can talk to about any book — like a well-read friend who has also read it.
Your companion never recites plot points. It asks questions, offers opinions when asked, and follows your lead.
Tell it whether you're considering the book, just started, halfway through, or finished — and it adapts accordingly.
Your conversations are powered by your own AI provider key. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Each book has a room. Readers leave short notes — like margin notes in a second-hand book.
Notes are shown in reading order, not by popularity. There is no engagement metric to optimise for.
Notes are gated by reading stage. You only see what's appropriate for where you are in the book.
Page Commons is built for serious readers who feel underserved by Goodreads and generic AI chatbots. It is open source, privacy-first, and funded by readers — not advertisers.
Choose your AI provider and enter your API key. Your key stays in your browser and never touches our servers — unless you use the transfer code option, where your key briefly passes through our servers to complete the transfer and is deleted immediately. No record is kept.

Kindle can only download and open .txt files. Markdown is best for desktop or note-taking apps.
Page Commons uses AI to power your reading companion. You can use the free shared pool or bring your own API key.
No key needed. Best for well-known books in English. May not know recent or niche titles in depth — works best when you share what you remember as you go. Shared with other readers; may be slow at busy times.
Stronger knowledge across more titles and languages, always available. Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or Groq. Your key is stored only in this browser and never sent to our servers.
You can change this any time in Preferences.
Page Commons is a calm, private reading companion. Talk through the book you're reading with an AI that knows the work, save the passages that stay with you, and keep your shelf — all stored in your own browser, with no ads and no personal data on our servers.
