How a shelf works
The short guide, and the pieces a shelf is built from.
Shelves
A shelf is a short list of books you mean to finish. It holds five at most, so adding a sixth means deciding which one goes back.
Logging a page
Type the page you stopped on, or run chronoskin log 212 from the desktop app. The streak counter moves when the number does.
What a shelf keeps
- The page you stopped on, per book
- Every quote you clipped, with its page
- The day you started and the day you finished
