Bookmarks and private multi-line notes stored locally per verse
Passive reading log — a month-grid calendar showing which days you opened any verse, no streaks
A note from the studio
“The design brief was simple: aged manuscript paper, sindoor saffron, mahogany ink. Closer to the New York Review of Books than a meditation app. The app should disappear into the practice.”
