## What is Bedside?

A quiet, beautiful place for every book in your life.

Folio is a personal reading shelf — warm, editorial, and entirely your own. Track what you want to buy, what you own, what you're reading right now, and what you've loved. No accounts. No social feeds. No ads. Just your books.

Four shelves, one tap apart
Move a book from your shopping list to your nightstand to your "currently reading" pile to your "finished" archive with a single tap. Folio remembers when you finished, what you rated it, and the notes you scribbled along the way.

Covers find themselves
Type a title and Folio pulls the cover, author, and year from the world's largest open book catalogue. Prefer your own copy? Snap a photo and Folio uses that instead.

Make it yours
Star your favourites. Tag favourite authors. Jot quotes and margin thoughts as you read. Rate finished books from one to five stars.

Recommend in seconds
Tap share on any book to send a warm recommendation — cover and all — through Messages, Mail, WhatsApp, or AirDrop.

Built to disappear
Folio lives on your phone. Your library never leaves your device. There's nothing to sign up for, nothing to subscribe to, and nothing watching what you read.
