- 📦mekuru updated to version 6.2.0iOS・We rebuilt how you choose furniture in “Arrange”. Pick a piece from the pictures under “Furniture”, hold it to find the right spot, then tap “Place”. Tap a piece that’s already in the room to pick it up again.
・In a room, you can now zoom in with two fingers. While zoomed in, look around the room with one finger.
・“My books” (Owner plan) is rebuilt around a page for each book. See the days you read and your notes on that one page, and registering a book now uses the same screen wherever you start. Finishing a book has a new screen, too.
・Your profile has a new order, and “Make a card” now shows the Reader card, Bookmark card and Pocket watch card with previews.
・We rebuilt the “Your lines” screen: a bookmark ribbon runs down the middle, with your lines on alternating sides.
・When someone steps away from their seat in a room, they now show as “On a break” for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, they leave their seat.
・After you leave a room, “People you read with today” now lists the person who opened the room first, marked “Owner”.
・Screens are more consistent now (Back at the top left, matching buttons, the top of each screen stays in place, and more).

・電池の減りをおさえるため、しばらく触らないあいだは、部屋を描く枚数を減らすようにしました。
・灯り（ランプ・ろうそく・ストーブ）の多い部屋を軽くしました。まわりを照らす灯りは 19 個までで、それより多いぶんはほのかに光ります。

・When you log in, what you recorded as a guest on this device can now be carried over to the account you’re logging into.
・While a reading companion is reading in their room, that room now appears first under “Open doors” on the “Rooms” screen, as “A reading companion’s room” (only when a seat is free).
・The “Reading companions” list now shows each person’s name instead of their room’s name. “End reading companionship” is now under “⋯”.

Choose from “Change the book you’re reading”, above the clock at the bottom left (changing the book, and “Register a book and read it” on the spot, are Owner plan features).
・“My books” has been rebuilt. It’s divided into “Reading now”, “Up next”, “Finished” and “Stopped partway”, and each book shows its “Time spent”.
・On the card shown when you leave a room, you can now choose “Time on the card” (“This book”, “So far” or “None”) from “Adjust”.

・The room's buttons gain "Always show names", which keeps the names above the seats on screen.
・In "Profile", next to "Make a reader card", there is now "Make your bookmark card" (once you have read at least once). Owners can also use "Make your Owner card".

Review momentum

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

What users say about mekuru
From recent reviews.
About mekuru
Read alone. Not alone—with quiet company for every page.
mekuru is a reading room made for time with paper books. Small reader avatars settle into a warm study, and the gentle sign of a page turning lets you feel that someone else is reading too—without video, a microphone, or chat.
WITH MEKURU, YOU CAN
• Enter as a guest—no sign-up required
• Join an open room and read quietly with others
• Invite someone with a link and read together
• Your reader turns its pages on its own — a faint paper sound is the only sign of presence that travels
• Breaks and time away are sensed and shared softly, on their own
• Keep your reading time and revisit it in your Time Shelf
• Create an account to choose from six reader avatars and unlock book covers as you read
• Become reading companions with the people you share a room with
There are no DMs, likes, comments, follows, or rankings. mekuru is not about competing over pages. It is a place to let the time you spend with books accumulate quietly.
In Korea, a trend called "text hip" has been spreading: enjoying the time spent reading, and sharing it. mekuru is a place to share that time — the middle of the reading itself — quietly, with someone else.
OWNER (SUBSCRIPTION)
The optional Owner plan is an auto-renewing subscription, billed monthly or yearly, that lets you furnish a room of your own and open it to your companions anytime. Registered accounts can try a one-time 14-day viewing first, no card required. In Japan the price is ¥580/month or ¥5,800/year; pricing for your region is always shown in the App Store before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account, and the subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.

About mekuru
Read alone. Not alone—with quiet company for the hours you read.
mekuru is a reading room made for time with paper books. Small plush-animal readers settle into a warm study, and the gentle sign of a page turning lets you feel that someone else is reading too—without video, a microphone, or chat.
WITH MEKURU, YOU CAN
• Enter as a guest—no sign-up required
• Join an open room and read quietly with others
• Invite someone with a link and read together
• The book on screen turns its pages on its own — a small movement and a faint paper sound are what reach the room
• Leave the app and your seat quietly empties — come back and you are seated again
• Keep your reading time and revisit it in your Time Shelf
• Create an account and choose from six reader avatars
• Unlock book covers with the hours you read
• Become reading companions with someone you have actually read beside
There are no DMs, likes, comments, follows, or rankings. mekuru is not about competing over pages. It is a place to let the time you spend with books accumulate quietly.
OWNER (SUBSCRIPTION)
The optional Owner plan is an auto-renewing monthly subscription for hosting a reading circle that keeps going. It adds room furnishing (the editor and furnishing presets), larger rooms (6 and 10 seats), making a room public, and registering the books you read. Your basic room (up to 4 seats) and inviting people to it stay free. Registered accounts can try a one-time 14-day viewing without a payment card; the viewing does not turn into a paid subscription automatically. The price for your region is shown by Google Play before you confirm a purchase. Payment is handled by Google Play. The subscription renews automatically unless canceled before the next renewal. You can manage or cancel it in Google Play's subscriptions settings. Uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription.
