Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before joining Bokily.
Is Bokily free?
Yes. Creating an account, listing books, and completing swaps is free. Bokily does not take a cut of exchanges — you trade books directly with other readers.
Do I need to ship books?
No. Bokily is built for local, in-person handoffs. You agree a meetup spot via chat and confirm the swap on the spot with QR codes.
Is my location private?
Yes. Bokily shows rounded distances to protect your privacy. Other users never see your exact coordinates.
What books can I swap?
Any book you own and want to exchange. Add by ISBN scan or manually. Both fiction and non-fiction are welcome.
Is Bokily available on iPhone?
We are launching on Android first. iOS is on the roadmap after the Android beta validates the core experience.
How do I download the beta?
Go to Download, get the APK, and install it on Android. Or email hello@bokily.com.
How do I delete my account?
From the app profile screen, tap Delete account. Your data is removed within 30 days per our privacy policy.
