## What is Hedwiq?

Hedwiq is a reading log that keeps your books on a bookshelf of spines and a calendar, and collects photos of your bookmarks in a binder.
Record when you started and finished each book and which bookmark you used, and your shelf and calendar slowly fill up with your reading.

■ Your current read, always close.
The app’s home view shows the book you are reading, propped on a shelf with its bookmark. If you are reading more than one, swipe sideways to switch. Swipe down to see this month’s calendar and the spines of the books you finished this month.

■ A home for your bookmarks.
Take or choose a photo of a bookmark, and Hedwiq cuts it out along its shape and adds a white border. If the cutout is not quite right, fix it by tracing with your finger.
Your bookmarks sit in clear pockets like a binder, and you turn the pages to look through them. Sort them into files, such as bookmarks from trips or from bookstores.

■ Every book you’ve read, spine out.
See your books as a grid of covers, or as a bookshelf of spines.
Spine height follows the book’s format, and thickness follows its page count. You can also photograph a book’s spine and place it on the shelf.
Tap a spine to take the book off the shelf; turn it with your finger to see its spine and back.

■ When, and with which bookmark.
The calendar shows a cover on the day you finished a book and a band across the days you were reading it, with the bookmark you used in the corner of the cover. Tap a date to see what you were reading that day.
If you read a book again, each reading is recorded separately.

■ Stars and thoughts, for every reading.
Rate a book with five stars, in half-star steps, and write down your thoughts — while you’re reading or after you finish. If you read a book again, each reading keeps its own. Sort by Highest Rated to see ratings on the covers.

■ Look back on your reading year.
Open Reading Stats from the calendar to see how many books you finished each month, January through December — plus pages read, average days per book, your ratings, and your most-used bookmarks. Switch years to compare.

■ Share your reading as a card.
Turn a year or month of reading, your reading calendar, or your shelf into a tall image to save or share. Create one from the button at the top right of Stats or the calendar.

■ Every bookmark keeps its books.
Open a bookmark to see the books you read with it, and look back on the books you spent with a favorite bookmark.

■ Easy to add
Search by title or author, or scan the barcode on the back cover. Find books in English, Japanese, and Korean. If a book is not found, enter it by hand.
Filter, sort, and search to find any book quickly.

■ One purchase. Yours to keep. (Hedwiq Pro)
Hedwiq Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. Buy it once and keep it, with no extra charge, including Pro features added in the future.
・Create unlimited files (up to 3 for free)
・Bookmark border color and width, or no border
・File cover trims, textures, and photos, and corner shapes
・Home Screen widgets (This Month, Shelf)

Adding books, search, the bookshelf, the calendar, the Reading widget, and every other recording feature work without Pro.

Book search, and covers of books added from search, use external book data services (an internet connection is required).
