What Hikara does
Hikara tracks your reading and shows how your books connect. Here is each part of it: what it does, where to find it, and what each plan includes.
Book connections
Hikara's AI looks for connections between the books in your library and labels each one: an echo (two books reinforcing the same idea), a challenge (two books that disagree) or a bridge (books from different fields that share an idea).

Reading tracker
Hikara tracks what you read (statuses, half-star ratings, notes and progress by page or by percentage) and helps you build the habit: a reading-session log, a streak protected by automatic freeze credits, yearly and per-book goals, and a short daily routine on the Reading tab.

Highlights
Save a highlight by typing it or by photographing the page, and Hikara reads the text from the photo for you.

Shelves

Reading insights
The Insights page turns your library into answers: which themes you read most and least, a counter-read that argues with a book you've read, the themes in your highlights, and an AI-written portrait of you as a reader.

Vibe search
Vibe search lets you describe the book you're in the mood for in your own words, like "melancholic morning reads" or "slow-burn philosophical fiction", and Hikara's AI suggests books that fit.

Gap finder
Select two to five books in your library and the gap finder suggests one book that would bring them together: a bridge between ideas you've been reading about separately.
