## What is Honyomu?

Honyomu is a reading tracker and bookshelf app for managing books you want to read, books you’re currently reading, and books you’ve finished.

Have you ever thought:

“Have I already read this book?”
“I found a book at a bookstore and forgot to save it for later.”
“I have too many unfinished books and can’t remember where I stopped.”
“How many books have I read this year?”
“I want to keep notes and thoughts about the books I read.”
“I want a better way to organize my TBR list.”

Honyomu helps you keep all of that in one place.

Organize books as Want to Read, Reading, or Finished. Keep reading logs, page counts, notes, and thoughts together with each book. You can also add books by ISBN or scan a barcode, making it easy to save a book as soon as you find it.

【What you can do with Honyomu】

・Use Honyomu on both iPhone and iPad
・With the Support Plan, sync your reading data between iPhone and iPad using iCloud

【Your bookshelf, now on iPad】

Honyomu supports both iPhone and iPad.

On iPad, the larger screen gives you more room to browse your bookshelf. When enough screen width is available, your book list and the selected book’s details appear side by side, so you can browse books while checking reading records and notes at the same time.

【Check your reading list on Apple Watch】

Books saved as Want to Read can also be viewed on Apple Watch.

You can check the title, author, publisher, ISBN, and memo, which is useful when you’re at a bookstore or library and want to remember what you were looking for without taking out your iPhone.

【Look back on your reading】

Honyomu does more than organize books. It also lets you track how many books you’ve finished and how many pages you’ve read each month.

“I haven’t been reading much lately.”
“I read more than I expected this month.”
“What kinds of books have I read this year?”

Your everyday reading records make it easy to look back on your reading over time.

【Your reading data stays yours】

Honyomu can be used without creating an account. Your reading data is stored on your device, and you can use the app without enabling iCloud sync.

With the Support Plan, you can enable iCloud sync to synchronize books, bookshelf status, reading logs, and cover images between iPhone and iPad using the same Apple Account.

iCloud sync uses Apple’s CloudKit Private Database. Honyomu does not store your reading data on the developer’s own servers.

You can also export and restore your data in JSON format, independently of iCloud sync.

Whether your TBR list keeps growing, you have several books in progress, or your finished bookshelf keeps filling up, Honyomu gives your reading one place to live.
