For BookTok and Bookstagram
Share the video. SortBridge finds every book named in it, matches each one to a real edition, and files them into a reading list you can actually search.
One email when the TestFlight opens, one when it hits the App Store. Nothing else, and no sharing your address — here’s the policy.
Someone names five books in ninety seconds. You tap save. It goes into a grid of thumbnails with no titles, no authors, and no search — on one app, next to four hundred others.
Three months later you want something to read, and you scroll past every one of them without recognising a single cover. The recommendation was good. The storage was the problem.
SortBridge reads the post and writes down what it was actually about, so the title survives longer than the scroll.
The hard case is the ranked list — a creator racing through fifteen titles in one video. SortBridge lists all fifteen, pre-ticked, each matched to a real edition with its cover and author.
When the creator says to skip one, it stays unticked and says so. Nothing enters your list without your tap, which is exactly why the confirm screen exists.
Two she told you to skip. We left those unchecked.
Tap share on the video, choose SortBridge, and carry on scrolling. SortBridge reads the caption and the creator’s own words, identifies every book named, and shows them as a list you tick. Confirmed books land in your reading list with covers and authors attached.
That is the case it was built for. A single reel listing fifteen books becomes fifteen rows, each already ticked, each matched to a real edition. You untick the ones you do not want and save the rest in one tap — no typing.
On Reddit, comments are read alongside the post, which is where most of the real recommendations live. On Instagram and TikTok, comments are not available to apps, so if the caption does not name the book, take a screenshot of the comment and share that instead — screenshots are read on your device.
Yes, through screenshots. Select a batch from your camera roll and the text is read on device with Apple’s Vision framework, then matched the same way a shared post is. It is the only honest answer for Instagram, which gives apps no access to your saved folder.
No, and it does not try to. Those are for tracking and rating what you have read. SortBridge solves the step before: capturing the recommendation in the first place, so it is still there months later. You can export to Goodreads whenever you like.
Films and TV work the same way — see building a watchlist, or how this compares to other ways of saving.
