About
Not a Monkey is a bookmark for the books you read on paper.
Scan the barcode on the back of a book, or search by title. The app finds the cover and the page count on its own, in Czech and world catalogues and in any edition. Then you just move the bookmark: slide the orangutan’s paw along the ruler, tap +1 or +10, or do it straight from the Home Screen widget.
NOW READING The book you’re in, right in front of you. See how many pages are left and when you’ll finish at your pace.
HIGHLIGHTS Note down a quote, a thought or a place to come back to, on any page. You’ll find them in each book’s detail, in page order.
THE SHELF Finished and set-aside books. Hold a book and move it anywhere, or drop it on “Now reading”. Finishing or removing a book takes an OOK!
WISHLIST Books you’d like, scanned in a bookshop or searched for. Once you’ve bought one, a single tap moves it to your library.
AND ALSO • Reading history: tapped too far? Put the bookmark back where it was • Another cover: pick your edition’s cover, or take a photo of it • Widgets for the Home Screen and the Lock Screen • In Czech and English
Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no ads.
