The Seojae: Reading Journal

Keep every book, the ones you finished and the ones you didn't.
Track your reading time and meet readers who share your taste.


📖 Five ways to log a book

Saved / Reading / Finished / Paused / Dropped
Books you didn't finish count too. What you drop is part of your taste.


⏱ Book Run: your reading time adds up

Start the timer and the time it took to finish stays with the book.
· Daily goals and reading streaks
· Minutes per page and how much is left
· When you read most, and which books held you longest
· Interval alarms that check in while you read
· Cheers for people who are reading right now


✨ Book Story: one line at a time

Swipe through, like, and reply.

Everyone's shelves, this week's Top 10, and what's trending.
Readers' picks, the doorstopper club, and books you can finish on the subway.


🌤 Today's book

One book a day, picked from the weather, the season and your saved books.
Plus editor curations and lists made by readers.


☕ Reading circles

Small groups reading the same book together.
A book you stalled on alone is easier to finish with others.


🔎 Finding books is simple

Point the camera at a barcode, or type a few letters of the title.

We never sell your reading data.


Note: The book catalog is centered on Korean books (Korean ISBNs), so it works best for readers of Korean books. The app is available in English and Korean.
