도서관 책 여백에 누군가 남긴 메모를 발견한 적 있나요? '여백'은 그 감성을 그대로 옮긴 독서 앱입니다. 서평을 쓰는 앱이 아닙니다. "다 읽고 정리하는" 기존 독서 앱과 달리, 여백은 '읽는 중 떠오른 한 줄'을 남기는 데 집중합니다. [이런 분들께 추천합니다] · 책을 다 읽고 나면 무슨 생각을 했는지 잊어버리는 분 · 독서 모임에서 서로의 메모를 나누고 싶은 분 · 종이책, 킨들, 밀리, 리디 어디서든 가볍게 기록하고 싶은 분 · 거창한 서평 말고 한 줄 메모면 충분한 분 [주요 기능] • 한 줄 기록, 2탭이면 끝 지금 읽는 자리(쪽 또는 %)에 메모 한 줄만 남기면 끝납니다. 메모 없이 "여기까지 읽었다"만 기록해도 좋습니다. • 같은 자리 타임라인 같은 책의 같은 자리를 지난 사람들이 남긴 여백이 모입니다. 판본이 달라도, 종이책·전자책이 섞여도 위치로 이어집니다. 아직 닿지 않은 자리는 자동으로 가려져 스포일러 걱정 없이 탐색할 수 있습니다. • 플랫폼 중립 여백은 리더 앱이 아닙니다. 종이책, 전자책, 어디서 읽든 기록만 가져갑니다. • 홈 위젯 홈 화면 위젯에서 "기록 남기기" 한 번으로 바로 메모를 남길 수 있습니다. • 독서 모임 초대 코드 하나로 친구·북클럽 멤버와 모임을 만들고, 함께 읽는 책을 자동으로 발견합니다. • 내 서재 '읽는 중'과 '다 읽은 책'을 한눈에. 진행률을 기록하면서 완독까지, 나만의 독서 습관이 쌓입니다. [여백이 다른 이유] · 팔로우도, 좋아요도 없습니다. 책이라는 매개로만 느슨하게 연결됩니다. · 회원가입이 필요 없습니다. 닉네임만 정하면 바로 시작할 수 있습니다. 책의 여백, 그 한 줄에서 시작하세요.
