The shelf

Built like a commonplace book, not a social network.

Scan it in

Point your camera at the back cover

Title, author, ISBN — there in a second. No typing, no friction.

Save the lines

A passage that stops you flat

Tap, save, and find it again three years from now. Your quotes, exactly as you found them.

A reader who reads with you

Ask the Bookkeeper anything

What to read next, where you left off, the half-remembered quote. Private, never trained on.

See your year, gently

Pages, hours, moods, streaks

The numbers, only when you want them. A quiet annual summary, not a scoreboard.

Friends, on your terms

Share a shelf with one friend, or none

Privacy controls down to each book. You decide who sees what.
