Local-first eBook reader bundles a per-book journal for reflective reading

Ms. Penrose in the Library is a desktop eBook reader that pairs each book with its own private journal, running entirely local with no cloud dependency. For indie makers tired of subscription-gated reading apps, it's a clean example of single-purpose software that respects user data and offline workflows. Distributed via itch.io, it fits squarely in the pay-once, own-it model.
