## What is Meow Shelf?

Meow Shelf is a reading journal that turns the lines you love into text. Just take a photo of the page.

▪ Snap a page, get the text
Point the camera at a book page and the sentences are recognized and typed out for you. No more typing by hand — save the passage you like in seconds.

▪ Everything works without signing in
Your library, quotes and memos all stay on your device. You don't need an account.

▪ My Library
Sort your books into To read, Reading and Finished, and track your page progress.

▪ Memos
Add your own thoughts to any quote.

▪ Character maps
Keep track of who's who in a novel by drawing the relationships between characters.

▪ Share as a quote card
Turn a saved quote into a pretty card image and share it anywhere.

▪ Reading timer and widget
Set a goal time and time your reading. A countdown shows on your Lock Screen, and a widget keeps your cats on your Home Screen.

▪ Grow your cat tower
Every time you add a book, another cat moves into your cat tower. Watch your shelf fill up with cats.

▪ Share only when you want
If you'd like to share a quote with other readers, you can post it to the feed after signing in. You can change this any time.

Some advanced features (unlimited characters, the full tag graph, card templates, and more) are offered as a one-time optional purchase.
