Your whole library,
one scan away.

Bookshelf turns any pile of books into an organized, searchable collection — scan a barcode or a cover, and we handle the rest. Build it solo or with friends.

Built for people with too many books

Everything you need to catalog, organize, and share a collection of any size.

📷

Scan to add

Point your camera at a barcode or a cover. Title, author, publisher, year and cover art are filled in automatically.

📁

Projects & collections

Group books into projects — by room, genre, reading list, or anything you like. Create, browse, and manage them in seconds.

👥

Collaborate

Invite others by username and share a collection. Everyone gets full access, with conflict-free real-time sync.

🔍

Search everything

One relevance-ranked search across every project, entry, and collaborator. Find any book the instant you think of it.

☁️

Cloud sync

Your library lives in the cloud and stays in sync across every device — with offline caching when you lose signal.

🔐

Simple sign-in

Sign in with Apple, Google, or Facebook — no new password to remember. Pick a username and you’re in.
