THE READER HQ

More than a shelf. More than a tracker.

Everything below is drawn from the current QuillTide desktop software—not a wishlist of generic reader features.

01

Reader Library

Covers, book spines, personal shelves, progress, favourites, sorting, search, and format or reading-source tags.

02

Edition & Access

Track hardcover, paperback, ebook, Kindle, audiobook, Libby, library loans, subscriptions, ARCs, and borrowed copies.

03

Book Memories

Keep reading journeys, dates, ratings, reactions, favourite moments, quotes, characters, playlists, vibes, tropes, and moodboards.

04

Reading Nook

A calm, customisable room for your current read, goals, notes, keepsakes, everyday shortcuts, and your active Companion.

OFFLINE PLAYROOM

Reading can be useful and a little ridiculous.

The Playroom turns your own local library and memories into small bookish rituals. It does not analyse your books, send your library away, or use AI.

Roll the Reader Chaos

Filter your own library, pick a chaos level, and let ordinary local randomness choose what comes next.

Message in a Bottle

Leave a note for your future reading self and unlock it when a book is finished or on a chosen date.

Ticket Collection

Celebrate finished books with stampable keepsake tickets in Cozy, Library, Vintage, Minimal, and Dark Academia styles.

Cards & Postcards

Make character cards, quote cards, and postcards from the books and moments you love.

FRIENDS, YOUR WAY

A private little reading circle.

Exchange friend cards and updates deliberately through local files or QR codes. Share only the profile details, reviews, recommendations, discussions, activity, and buddy reads you choose.

No compulsory public account. No algorithmic feed.

0.9.25 · BETA READER STUDIO

Read closely. Respond clearly.

FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND THE BOOK

There is a full PA workspace, too.

Optional PA Mode keeps multiple authors, books, campaigns, Quote Vaults, ARC readers, assets, resources, admin, and calendars in separate local workspaces. It sits alongside the Reader and Author experiences rather than pretending they are the same job.
