What’s new

Version 0.0.8 · Updated May 20, 2026

Weekly reading picks now meet you inside your library, so it is easier to choose the next book before your habit loses momentum. [ New ] • Weekly recommendations — browse curated books from your Shelf, open details, and follow external links without leaving your reading flow. • Book notes shortcut — jump from a book directly into its notes, sorted for review, so your journal and reading log stay close to the page. [ Improved ] • Curations match your language when available and stay visible even while the latest pick is still being localized. • Recommendation cards are easier to scan, with clearer week labels, smoother carousel layout, and marquee text that loops cleanly. • Share-card editing feels more precise: dragged text snaps to measured edges and gives a light haptic cue when alignment lands. • Reading sessions can fade into a timer-only blackout, helping you protect focus without extra screen noise.
