“Without the margins, writing is just words on a page. But with them, each of us is invited to leave our mark in the endless conversation between books and the people that love them.” — from the Margins Manifesto
The App was really easy to navigate and the whole interface was smooth. Gives off premium quality app and apart from not having some books (However, if there is no record of the book you want, you can report it to the developers and will eventually add it and notify you) , this app is overall pretty good to keep records of all things book related.

Great app, WIP

Compared to goodreads, storygraph, etc. this app is fantastic. UI is minimal and clean, tracking books is hassle free and easy. Love the option to pick covers, and sort library by color. Current issues are that certain books aren’t on their database, but after flagging as missing data, they follow up on any issues quite fast. Additionally, am worried about the data collection. The data collection is really my only issue, and I wish there was some way to opt out. Otherwise, the devs are clearly very active and committed to fixing technical issues.
so far so good!

such a clean app with fun interface and design 🤍 ps. you can tell it was made by book lovers :)edit : after using it for a bit, can say for sure its a good tracker to use with minimal distractions. also, some users might dislike the AI features but you can simply choose not to use them, like I changed my 'sketched' pfp to one of the hand drawn illustrations they have you can pick from.
Very Good

The app is very cute! I wish there were more illustrations like the lamp since I loved it so much! A suggestion: would it be possible to add books that aren’t available on the app? Because many people read online published novels which are not physically published and are not available to add in the app. A blank format for such books should work, and it would help in tracking.
