Kaffe · a free, private bookshelf

Track audiobooks and share them with friends

Kaffe shelves hold audiobooks as well as print and ebooks, so listeners can keep track of what they've finished and share it with the people they trust.

Sign up with a name and a password. No email needed. Add the audiobooks you've listened to, rate them with stars if you like, and leave a short note on any title (up to 280 characters), for example about the narrator. Your shelf is private until you invite friends; your full shelf goes only to circles you choose.

Once friends are sharing, Kaffe shows you what they loved that you haven't heard yet. The Circles page also has a Listen next section built from audiobooks shared in your circles, and you can opt in to anonymised friends-of-friends picks. Kaffe never uses private-only listening activity in those picks.

Kaffe also publishes free public audiobook lists that name the narrator for each pick, such as the best fantasy audiobooks. It's free, has no ads, and runs in the browser, so you can use it alongside whatever app you listen in.

Start your own reading circle: free, with just a name and a password. No email, no ads.
