## What is Dewey?

Dewey is the reading companion for people who want more from every book: a real conversation, a home to document what mattered, and the tools to actually remember it.

TALK THROUGH ANY BOOK
Ever finish a book and wish you had someone to think it through with? Choose a persona: a Literary Critic, a Professor, a well-read Friend, or the Editor (The Writing Room) and discuss any book in your library. Ask about themes and characters, push back on an argument, or take a finished book apart to see how it was built. Every conversation is shaped by the exact book you're reading and designed to fo deep on whatever sticks out to you! Beware the virtual author might disagree with you!

SNAP A PHOTO-CAPTURE EVERYTHING
Photograph a page and Dewey pulls your highlights and handwritten notes into clean, editable text. Save quotes and add reflections chapter by chapter. Your best thinking for all of your books for the first ever lives in one Notebook. Dewey is built to be an additive tool, we still expect you to still highlight and write margin notes in your physical book, we just centralize your ideas so they're accessible at any time. 

REMEMBER WHAT YOU READ
You're not alone- so many times we often find ourselves saying "I can't remember anything of what I read" with most books fading within days of finishing it. Dewey's daily memory lessons teach the science of retention (i.e. the forgetting curve, spaced repetition, active recall etc.) so what you read actually sticks.

MAP YOUR TASTE
Rate every finished book by craft and impact and watch your whole library arrange itself on your Reading Map. 

BUILD A READING HABIT
Track a daily reading streak, log the days you read on a calendar, and watch your year add up and see how many books you finished, pages read, genres explored etc..

DISCOVER YOUR READING IDENTITY
Your habits reveal more than you think. See your Reading DNA, the themes you return to, your reading personality etc.  all drawn from the books you read and the notes you take.
