How do I add the widget?

  1. Touch and hold an empty area of your iPhone Home Screen.
  2. Tap Edit, then Add Widget.
  3. Search for WoodWork, choose a size, and tap Add Widget.

How do I import my library?

Use whichever option fits your setup: connect to a running Calibre Content Server, sync from WoodWork Scanner for Mac through iCloud, or choose Import a Library File in the iPhone app.

How do I connect Calibre?

  1. In Calibre, choose Connect/share, then Start Content Server.
  2. Keep your computer and iPhone on the same Wi-Fi network.
  3. In WoodWork, open Calibre Content Server and enter the address shown by Calibre.

Why has the widget not updated?

Open WoodWork once after importing or syncing a library. If the widget still looks stale, remove it from the Home Screen and add it again. iOS ultimately controls when widgets refresh.

Why are some spines thicker?

Spine thickness represents page count. When an exact count is unavailable, WoodWork uses an estimate so every book can still appear on the shelf.

Does WoodWork collect my library?

No. Your library is stored on your devices and, if you enable scanner sync, in your personal iCloud container. WoodWork has no accounts, advertising, or analytics.
