Creating Your Account

Sign up for Agathos Books using your email or phone number—no password required.

Signing Up

Section titled “Signing Up”
  1. Open the Agathos Books app or visit agathosbooks.com
  2. Tap Get Started
  3. Enter your email address, or tap Phone to sign up with SMS
  4. Tap Continue — no password needed, we’ll send a one-time code

Sign-up screen

  1. Enter the 5-digit verification code sent to your email or phone

Verification code entry

If you don’t see the verification code, check your spam folder (for email) or wait a minute and try again — some email providers take a few minutes to deliver the code.

  1. Finish setting up your account — enter your name and, if you signed up with a phone number, an email address. An email is required so we can reach you with loan reminders and library activity. You can verify it later from your profile.
  2. Join or create your first library

Why we ask for an email: Many notifications — weekly reading digests, recommendations, and account emails — are sent by email only. Signing up with a phone number still requires an email so you don’t miss them. (If you sign up with email, you’re all set — your phone number is optional.)

After Signing Up

Section titled “After Signing Up”

Once your account is created, you’ll be guided through:

  1. Setting up your profile — Your name, photo, and personal settings
  2. Joining or creating a library — Connect with an existing library or start your own
  3. Adding books to your collection — Scan a barcode with your phone, or use the search bar.
  4. Set your favorite genres — Personalize recommendations based on what you like to read
