Bookgyeol is a reading journal for keeping track of what you read and sharing it with other readers. The app is in Korean. When you close a book, something stays with you: the time you spent, the lines you underlined, how it felt. Bookgyeol keeps them from scattering. ▸ Log your reading • Search for books, add them to your shelf, and record the pages you've read • Time your reading with the reading timer, and check it right from the Lock Screen • Finished books get thicker spines, so you can watch your shelf fill up • See when and how much you read at a glance on the reading calendar ▸ Make a plan and keep it • Set a finish date and the app splits the book into daily pages for you • Choose which days you read and which days you rest • Get a reminder of today's pages at a time you choose ▸ Keep the lines that matter • Take a photo of a page and the app recognizes the text, so you don't have to retype it • Text recognition happens only on your device. Photos are never sent to a server • Leave thoughts on any page and come back to that page later ▸ Read together • Start a book club or find one to join • Suggest books to read together and decide by vote • Post and comment on the club board, and see other readers' notes • Follow the footsteps of people who read the same book ▸ After you finish • Leave a star rating and a one-line review to capture how it felt • When you reread, each round is recorded separately • Say whether you'd recommend the book, and see books other readers recommend Only what a reader needs. No ads, and no tracking.
