## About

Booklume is a private reading companion designed for iPhone users. It helps you keep all your physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks in one calm, organized space. You can effortlessly track your reading progress, log sessions, and set yearly goals to build a consistent reading rhythm.

The app provides tools to track by page or percentage, log live or past reading sessions, and visualize your reading life with insights into pages read, time logged, and streaks. It's built for those quiet moments that turn into a lasting habit.

Beyond tracking, Booklume allows you to capture thoughts, passages, and highlights. You can write notes or use your iPhone camera to scan printed highlights. The on-device text recognition ensures your scanned pages remain private, never uploaded, keeping all your reading data secure and on your device.
