How it works

From shelf to searchable in seconds

1

Scan books or whole shelves

Point your camera at the ISBN on the back cover, or photograph a whole shelf and review the books it finds. Add a book in seconds.

2

Details fill themselves in

Cover art, author, edition, page count and synopsis all appear automatically. Add a shelf, a room, or a note if you like.

3

Find books. Skip duplicates.

Search across every room, know where each book is, and check what you own before you buy it again.

Built for people with a lot of books

Everything you need to keep a growing home library in order.

Personal library management

One home for everything you own — organised by room, shelf, series or collection.

ISBN barcode scanning

Catalogue a whole shelf in minutes. Scan the code and we do the typing for you.

Smart search across your shelves

Find any title, author or edition in a second — even the one in a box in the attic.

Shared, by family or volunteers

One shared catalogue for everyone who keeps it — a household, or the volunteers behind a church, school or Little Free Library shelf. See who owns and who’s borrowed what.

Questions, answered

Everything a first-time visitor tends to ask.

Yes — and the core always will be. Cataloguing as many books as you own, searching your whole library, sharing it with the people you keep it with, lending, importing and exporting are free for every account, with no item caps. Right now we’re in a free launch trial, so everything is included until 31 October 2026. After that, an inexpensive supporter plan will unlock more advanced collector features for anyone who wants them — entirely optional, and your library is never locked either way. Join before the trial ends and you’re grandfathered: everything that’s free for you now stays free for you forever.See pricing details →

Almost never. Point your camera at the barcode and we pull in the cover, author, edition and synopsis automatically. No barcode? Search by title, author or ISBN and pick your edition — and anything we can’t find, you can add by hand.

Yes. Invite the people you keep the collection with — the people you live with, or a church or school’s volunteers — to one shared catalogue, so everyone can see what you own, what’s out on loan, and who’s currently reading what.

Search by title or ISBN, or add the details by hand. First editions, signed copies and condition notes all have a proper place in your catalogue.

Create a club, invite members, and choose what you’re reading next together. Everyone sees the current pick, tracks progress, and keeps past reads on a shared shelf.

Absolutely. Import from a CSV, a spreadsheet or a UTF-8 MARC file and your existing catalogue moves over in minutes. Goodreads, StoryGraph, LibraryThing and Readerware exports are recognised automatically, and there is a step-by-step switching guide for Readerware.Switching from Readerware →Compare library apps →
