Q: How do I get an API key?

A: Visit console.anthropic.com, create a free account, and generate an API key. New users get $5 in free credits to start!

Q: Can I use the app without an API key?

A: Yes! You can track your reading progress, manage your library, and use all organizational features without AI Mode. AI features (summaries and characters) require an API key.

A: AI features use pay-as-you-go pricing through Anthropic. A typical summary costs less than $0.01. The app itself is completely free!

Q: Can I change the summary language?

A: Yes! In Book Details → Settings, you can choose English, Hindi, or Marathi for your summaries.

Q: What if the summary isn't accurate?

A: Tap "Regenerate Summary" to get a fresh version. The AI analyzes the book each time, so results may vary slightly.

Q: Can I export or share summaries?

A: Yes! Tap the share button (📤) in the summary view to export via Messages, Mail, Notes, or any other app.

Q: The app crashes when generating summaries. What should I do?
