Shelfroom vs Marka

Your reading life deserves more than a grid of covers. Shelfroom makes your shelf the heart of the experience: a full-screen personal space where the books you own and love become part of a scene that grows with you. Start with a thoughtfully designed template or a blank canvas, then make it unmistakably yours. A shelf, not another catalog Arrange your books with intention and shape the atmosphere around them. Build a shelf for a favorite series, a mood, a season, or your whole collection. The result feels less like inventory and more like a place you will want to return to. Bring your reading life with you Starting fresh should not mean starting over. Scan a stack of books, find the edition you own, add an unusual title yourself, or bring your collection from a supported library export. Shelfroom gets you from a list of books to a personal shelf without hours of rebuilding everything by hand. A calmer way to keep reading When you open a book, start a focused reading session and let Shelfroom keep the thread. Pick up where you left off, see your progress take shape, and look back on the time and consistency behind every finished book—without turning reading into a chore. Keep the lines that stay with you Capture a passage from a page, refine it, and keep it connected to the book it came from. Your favorite quotes remain easy to revisit, collect, and share as beautiful cards. Made to share. Designed to stay yours. When your shelf feels right, save the current composition or the entire scene as a clean, share-ready image. Your library and creations live on your device. No account is required to begin, and the core experience remains available offline after your books are saved. Online book search requires a connection. Shelfroom has no ads. Create a shelf you want to return to—and a reading story that grows with it. --- Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula

Marka is a reading tracker for people who want to know what they read, how fast they read it, and which lines stayed with them. Now with a cozy pixel farm that grows while you read. No account, no ads, no subscription. Paperbacks, hardcovers, eBooks and audiobooks all work: track by page, by percentage, or by listening time. GROW A READING FARM • Every 5 minutes on the reading timer puts a drop of water in your well. Water your plots and watch tomatoes and carrots grow. • Read more and the farm opens up, clear the wild, till new plots, and welcome hens, ducks, a goat and a cow, an orchard, a barn and a greenhouse. • Free up to nine plots, with the hens and carrot seeds. The one-time unlock opens every reward after that, and Away Mode. BUILD YOUR LIBRARY IN MINUTES • Scan a whole stack of books, one barcode after another. Books already in your library are flagged, and "Add all" files the rest in one tap. • Search by title, author or ISBN. Cover, description, publisher, page count and genre are filled in for you. • Import a Goodreads or StoryGraph export with your shelves, ratings, and start and finish dates. TIME YOUR READING • A one-tap timer that keeps counting while you leave the app, with pause and resume. • Live Activity and Dynamic Island controls: check the time or finish a session without unlocking your phone. • Forgot to start it? Log a past session by date and time. • Marka works out your pages per hour, and how long is left in the book you are reading. NOTES WHILE YOU READ • Save a quote, thought, question or summary in the middle of a session. The timer pauses while you write. • Scan text straight from the page: photograph it, tap the first and last word, and the passage drops into your note. Recognition runs entirely on your device. • Search every note across every book, filter by kind, and keep your favourites together. • Turn any quote into a card and post it to your Instagram Story or save it to Photos. GOALS AND PACE • A daily reading-time goal, with a calendar that checks off every day you hit it. • A yearly book goal that fills with the covers of the books you finish. • See the days left in the year, whether you are ahead or behind, and the pace it would take to finish. STATISTICS • Total reading time, pages read, average speed, longest session, current and longest streak. • A chart of your reading speed over the last 7 days, 30 days or the whole year. • The genres you return to, and a calendar of covers showing what you read each day. YOUR BOOKCASE • Stand your books on a wooden bookcase, move the decorations around the shelves, and switch the string lights on. • Put the bookcase on your Home Screen as a widget and rearrange it from there. WHAT TO READ NEXT • Can't decide? Shake your phone and one book jumps out of your To Be Read pile. Toss the covers around, or shake again for another. • Recommendations drawn from the books you rated highly, each one showing why it was suggested. • Keep a wishlist of the books you want, apart from the library you own. SHARE YOUR READING • Cards for a finished book, a favorite quote, a month's reads, your year, your reading calendar, goal progress, your bookcase and your farm. • Post to Instagram Stories, save to Photos, or share anywhere. WIDGETS • Farm, Continue Reading, Currently Reading, Goal and Bookcase, on the Home Screen. The Goal widget also fits the Lock Screen. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No sign-up, no email, no password, no ads, no analytics. • Your library, sessions, notes and goals stay on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account. • Tracking, notes, goals and statistics work offline. A connection is only needed to look books up. Terms of Service: https://quitehillstudio.com/marka/terms Privacy Policy: https://quitehillstudio.com/marka/privacy
