The shelf
Every book has a spine.
Each book stands on your shelf in the colours of its own cover, with its title on the spine. A book nobody has a picture of still gets one, in bookcloth. Nothing on your shelf is a grey box.
Arrange it your way: as you added them, by title, by author, by hand, or as a rainbow.

The candle
A candle instead of a feed.
Light it when you sit down to read. It burns beside your book while the timer keeps the time, on your Lock Screen too, and you blow it out when you are done.
An hour of reading is one candle. Ten minutes still counts.
- A timer that survives the app being closed
- Your page or your percent, in two taps
- A streak that forgives a short day
Your year
Your reading year, by candlelight.
Books, pages and candles burned, with the covers of what you finished, on a card made to be shared. A month at a time, or the whole year.
Coming from Goodreads or StoryGraph? Bring your whole library: ratings, dates and shelves come with it, and your year so far is waiting on the first day.
