For parents
Safer than a noticeboard, easier than a sale
Bithoo helps your child pass on last year's books and find this year's, only within their own school, with almost nothing about them visible to anyone.
Visibility
What other students can and can't see
Other students at the school see
- First name (for example, Ananya)
- Class (for example, Class 10)
- Their listings and photos of books
- The school's hand-over point
Never shown to anyone
- Surname
- Email address or phone number
- Photo of your child
- Home address
- Admission number or ID card
- Anything outside your child's school
Only your child's school coordinator sees the admission number and ID card photo, and the photo is deleted once they decide.

Consent, where your school wants it
Schools can ask for a parent's consent. Students then need a linked parent's approval to keep using Bithoo.
No money in the app
Bithoo never handles payments. Any money changes hands in person, at school, between students.
Delete any time
Your child can delete their account in the app, and so can you. How to delete an account.
Questions parents ask
No. Only approved students of the same school can see listings, and messaging between students is switched off for now. Contact details are refused in listings.
At the school's own hand-over point (for example the library), chosen by the school and shown in the app. Never at home.
Anyone can report a listing or a user in the app; the school's coordinator reviews every report. You can also email hello@bithoo.in and we act within 24 hours.
Yes, for students and parents. There are no ads and no in-app purchases.
Not at your child's school yet?
Parents can ask for Bithoo too, with the school's blessing.
