Bengaluru app connects book lovers for meaningful dating

Bookmark is a new dating app for book lovers, launched by founders in Bengaluru. It connects users based on shared literary interests, featuring a virtual bookshelf and prompts to encourage conversation. The app aims to foster deeper connections by focusing on books as conversation starters. Users can filter matches by preferences like distance and relationship type, while their photos remain blurred until they exchange ten messages. Bookmark was inspired by social interactions at a silent reading event, where attendees bonded over books. The app is designed to appeal to various book lover stereotypes, promoting meaningful dialogue over superficial chats.
