Handsell

Your reading says who you are. Handsell turns it into something you can show.

Pick the books that changed you, the ones you'd hand-sell to a friend, and lay them out as a board set in real publisher design — the austere blue of a literary edition, a mid-century paperback livery, a clean shelf. Then share the image. No feed, no followers, no tracker. Just the books, beautifully arranged, as a self-portrait of the reader you are.

A NICHE EDITOR, NOT A GENERIC COLLAGE
Handsell isn't another grid app. It owns one look the way VSCO owns a filter: literary, editorial, exact. Every board is composed, not stamped.

MAKE A BOARD IN A MINUTE
• Start a curation and drop in books — search by title or author, or scan the barcode.
• Choose a Look and a Layout. The same books, re-dressed instantly.
• Each cover sits at its real proportions, so a composition reads like a real shelf, not uniform tiles.
• Export a crisp image and share it anywhere.

LOOKS WITH A POINT OF VIEW
• Klein — a single International-Klein-Blue field, cream serif, austere.
• Marber & Tri-band — mid-century paperback liveries.
• Real Shelf — faced covers standing on a warm shelf.
More looks are added over time.

LAYOUTS FOR EVERY LINEUP
Solo, Trio, Quartet, a 3×3 nine, a shelf — or By Colour, which sorts your covers by hue into something only books can do.

YOUR LIBRARY, REUSED
Every book you add is saved to your library and ready to drop into the next board — no re-searching. Capture a line you underlined and attribute it to its book; it renders as a quote card right on the board.

LOCAL AND PRIVATE
Everything lives on your device. No account, no analytics, no data collected.
