About Rocinante
Rocinante is an Android client for BookWyrm, a federated social network for readers. Users can connect to an instance, organize books on To Read, Reading, and Read shelves, and update reading progress so it is synchronized with the server. The app also supports social timelines where users can post updates, reply, and like activity. Reviews, currently-reading lists, and other reader profiles help users discover books and follow community discussions. Local reminders can send daily notifications to encourage reading habits without network use. The app is open source and is described as having no trackers or proprietary dependencies. As a client for a federated service, it requires an account on a compatible BookWyrm instance rather than providing a standalone social network. Rocinante is intended for readers who want to combine personal book tracking with community activity. The supplied evidence identifies core shelves, progress synchronization, timelines, and profile browsing, but does not describe all server features or whether every instance supports the same functions.
