Every type of search (whether by tags, ratings, authors, you name it) is all in one place now, inside the shelves.

Version 2025.3.3 Released

Great news Mac users! While the *native* Mac version is still not ready, starting today the iPad version is available for MacOS!

And worry not, the actual native version is still planned for development :) But wait there's more!... When completing books you can now right there and then write your thoughts about the reading in a completely private review. You will find a new section now for completed books that will show your review as well as your overall rating and any custom ratings. Moreover, this update brings a significant improvement to the quality of book covers, as I have changed the compression type for images and they now look much sharper!
