## What is ZooBook?

ZooBook is your own little library, filled with the books you've read.
Every time you add a book, your shelf fills up as delightfully as a zoo.

[Key Features]

- A shelf you fill with covers
Scan an ISBN barcode or search by title or author, and the real book cover lands on your shelf.

- Drag covers to reorder
Press and hold a cover, then drag it one spot at a time to exactly where you want it.
Sort books into shelves like "Fiction," "Study," and "Essays," and rearrange them freely.

- Reading records and habits
Track pages read, time spent reading, star ratings, and status (Owned · Reading · Finished),
and review it all at a glance with statistics and a calendar.

- Quote collection
Photograph a passage with your camera, and ZooBook recognizes it as text and gathers it into your personal quote collection.

- Sticky-note memos
Jot down the thoughts that come to you for each book.

- Home Screen widgets
Check the book you're reading, your shelf covers, reading statistics, and recently added books right from widgets.

- Atmospheric themes
Choose a bookshelf theme you love, such as Warm Oak, Walnut Study, Sage Gallery, and Lavender Atelier.

- Safe backup and restore
Back up your entire library to iCloud Drive and Files, and restore it anytime.

- Export
Export your library to Google Sheets or publish it as a web shelf.

ZooBook supports both English and Korean, and you can switch languages right inside the app.
Whether paper books or e-books, gather the books you've read one by one and build a library that's truly your own.
