How It Works

1. Building Your Collection

Foredger helps you catalog, organize, and showcase your special edition book collection. Add books manually, search our extensive catalog, or scan an ISBN to quickly add items to your digital library. Each book in your collection can include detailed metadata, condition notes, purchase information, and custom tags.

• Search by title, author, ISBN, or edition type
• Scan barcodes to quickly add books
• Add detailed condition notes and provenance
• Organize with custom tags and categories

2. Discovering Rare Editions

Explore our extensive catalog of special editions, limited prints, signed copies, and collector's items. Discover new additions for your collection based on your interests, and learn about rare editions you might not have known existed.

• Browse by genre, author, or edition type
• Get personalized recommendations
• Learn about edition details and rarity
• Track wishlist items

3. Tracking Your Reading

Log reading sessions for books in your collection. Track your progress, maintain notes, and see statistics about your reading habits. The app calculates time spent, reading pace, and helps you stay consistent with your reading goals.

• Start a timer or log sessions manually
• Track by pages, percentage, or chapters
• Add notes and thoughts as you read
• View reading history per book or across your collection

4. Your Library & Insights

Your library shows everything in your collection—books you're reading, have finished, or plan to read. Get insights about your collection with clean charts, clear trends, and detailed statistics about your books and reading habits.

• Collection value estimates
• Reading streaks and consistency
• Time spent per book
• Yearly reading summaries and collection growth

5. Sync & Backups

Your collection data stays synced across all your devices. If you switch phones or reinstall the app, everything comes back instantly. Your collection is safely backed up in the cloud, so you never have to worry about losing your catalog.

6. Offline Use

You can view and manage your collection without an internet connection. The app will sync everything automatically when you're back online—no extra steps required.

7. Recommendations

Get personalized recommendations for special editions based on your collection and interests. No ads, no paid placement. Recommendations are based entirely on what you collect and what you're interested in—nothing else.

8. Future Features

We're continuously expanding the app with better discovery tools, smarter analytics, deeper library customization, and new features for collectors. Updates roll out regularly, and you'll see new features as soon as they go live.
