## What is Bookcal?

The developer of Bookcal really, really loves looking at book covers.
Doesn't a single cover bring back the whole memory of a great read?
This app was born from a simple longing — to collect covers and remember the days I spent with them.

◆ Three calendar styles
- Inspired by the look of simple paper planners.
- Dress up your records with all kinds of frames — rectangle, heart, star, diamond and more,
- then just chill and swipe through your daily, weekly, and monthly views!

◆ For introverts who secretly want attention
- Want to screenshot your reading log for social media… but feel a little shy about the comments? Same here.
- Scramble them in barcode, Morse code, or constellation style — your secret stays pretty.
- Or simply switch on hide mode for titles and comments!

◆ Convenience you can't pass up
- Search both Korean and international books (Kakao / Google APIs).
- Zines and indie publications without an ISBN? No worries!
- Add any book manually — shoot or pick a cover photo, and adjust the crop just right.
- Read the same book across days, and your comments line up into a timeline.

◆ And more
- Automatic iCloud backup — switch devices, keep your records
- Dark mode support
- A daily reading reminder at 8 PM
- Fine-tune the first day of the week, title symbols, and more
- Available in Korean and English

No sign-up, no ads, no data collection.
Nothing to lose by downloading — it's free, after all!
