## What is Bound?

Bound is the reading companion designed for book lovers who want to be intentional about their reading life.

Start a reading session with one of four beautiful timer styles — ring, analog clock, minimal, or hourglass — and watch your daily goal come to life. Whether you read for 10 minutes or two hours, every session counts.

Your Bookshelf, Organized
Add books by searching the Open Library catalog or entering them manually. Organize your collection into Currently Reading, Finished, and To Be Read. Switch between grid and list views, sort by title, author, or progress, and track every page.

A Journal for Your Thoughts
Capture your reflections, favorite passages, and questions as you read. Every journal entry is tied to a book and timestamped, so you can revisit your thoughts long after you turn the last page.

Stats That Motivate
See your reading streaks, weekly minutes, lifetime stats, and reading insights — like your best reading time of day and your longest session. Set daily and yearly goals to keep yourself on track.

Achievements to Unlock
Earn milestones as you build your reading habit. From your first session to finishing your tenth book, there's always something to work toward.
