Your unified library in 3D, your physical books and ebooks live together. Drop in an EPUB or PDF and watch it become a hardcover you can pick up, browse, and read. Biblio turns a folder of files into a library you actually want to visit. Every book stands on a real 3D shelf, spine, cover, and page edges you can reach in and pick up, turn over, and start reading. A pile of downloads becomes a collection you browse the way you browse a bookshelf at home. One library, every kind of book Your ebooks and your physical books live side by side. Scan a barcode, photograph a whole shelf at once, search by title or author, or add a book by hand. However it arrives, it stands on the same shelf. See your collection, your way • Shelf: your whole library on beautiful 3D shelves; pinch to see every book at once • Cascade: flip through your books like flipping through records • Map: Your library on a world map: books pin to the places they're about, and tapping a place fans out its covers. Pan, zoom, and switch between Map and Constellation in the Graph view. • Constellation: a quiet map of how your books connect to one another • List: search, sort, and organize in a tap A reader that gets out of the way Clean typography, smooth page turns, and a layout built for long reading. PDFs support markup with Apple Pencil. Your place is always saved.

I have thousands of books already organized with notes. Is there any plan to support linking a web-based folder with features like reading progress analysis? (For reference, I currently use Absorb for my Audiobookshelf Docker setup.) **Developer response:** Update: We now have OPDS support in 1.6 Mac and iOS, you can import your Kavita book into the app now. Thank you and this is a good question. Biblio isn't a reader and won't become a client for a server, so it won't stream from Kavita or take over progress tracking. What it should do is let you bring a large existing library in at once rather than book by book. OPDS is the obvious way in, and it would cover Komga and Calibre-Web at the same time. It's not built yet, but it's the request I've thought hardest about since launch. If you'd write to me at hello@biblio.ink I'd like to hear how your library is structured, a thousands-of-books catalogue is exactly the case I can't test against on my own. ### 5/5 — So beautiful *2026-07-06* I’ve been waiting for app like this since Delicious Library. ## Frequently asked questions about Biblio.ink ### What is Biblio.ink?

SIX SHELVES, THREE ROOMS, PICKED SEPARATELY Tap the quiet dot in the bottom-right corner. Warm oak boards against a gallery wall, a glass shelf in a wood-panelled room — any pairing you like. The wood room is one continuous wall of the same timber as the shelf, honey oak by day and walnut by night, with real grain in both. Glass goes liquid: half-thickness panes, rounded at the edge, each catching a soft trace of the cover in front of it. And a mid-century unit whose boards thread through real wire ladders. Warm wood and Classic are free, shelf and room together. THE HOUSE LIGHTS GO DOWN A new red velvet room. The curtain arrives rather than appears — two halves sweep in from the wings, the right a beat behind the left, and settle with the weight of real fabric. Below it, a table draped in the same cloth your books stand on. Pinch for more than one tier and the shelf becomes a staircase of velvet steps climbing back into the room. Free, curtain and boards together. THREE WIDGETS, AND A LIVE ACTIVITY Currently Reading — the cover, how far in you are, and a tap that opens the book at the page you stopped on. Reading Streak — days in a row and the weeks behind them, on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. And Shelf: not a drawing of a shelf but a photograph of yours, taken in the room and the style you chose. On the Mac, the same three on the desktop. Start reading and the book rides the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island until you close it. PAGES TURN LIKE PAPER Both readers now curl the page under your finger. It leans the way you drag, keeps the pace of your hand, and turns a page rather than the whole screen. PDFs too. A WORD FROM YOUR OWN SHELF Biblio can now say something about a book that is actually yours — an author born today, a book you finished a year ago tonight, a book that has gone quiet on you. One a week at the very most, most weeks nothing at all, and never a red badge. Your titles and dates are read on this device and nothing about them is sent anywhere. Off entirely until you ask for it. CHOOSE YOUR BINDING Six app icons cut from the same leather. On iOS 26 they take the Clear and Tinted looks with them, and the shelf stands on the Home Screen itself. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE The Map, Reading and Constellation views now stand in the room you chose. Covers arrive for catalogue books that were published without one. Settings shows how much of your cloud storage is spoken for, and what happens when it fills. Markdown manuscripts open like any other book. Highlighting across a page break holds still while you drag. Plus a long list of smaller fixes and a faster shelf. ### 1.7 — 2026-08-18 A shelf of your own. The shelf your books stand on, and the room behind it, are now yours to choose. Tap the quiet dot in the bottom-right corner. • Pick the shelf and the room separately — warm oak boards against a gallery wall, or a glass shelf in a wood-panelled room. Any pairing. • Six shelves: warm wood, classic, cream, brown, glass, and a mid-century unit whose boards thread through real wire ladders. • Glass is float glass — see-through panes with green-teal edges, held up by chrome poles when you zoom out to more than one tier. • The warm wood room is one continuous wall of the same timber as the shelf: honey oak by day, walnut by night, with real grain in both. • Warm wood and Classic are free, shelf and room together. The rest come with membership — try any of them first, and the shelf reverts when you close the panel. A new icon, and seven more. • Biblio now wears a stone leather board with its name blind-embossed in the corner. • Eight bindings in all, in Settings. Stone and the original Classic plate are free; the six leather dyes come with membership. Also in this release • Set a book down on the glass shelf and it sounds like glass, not timber. • Swipe page-turns are back in the reader. • Book descriptions that arrived from an epub as raw markup read as prose again — the ones already in your library are repaired the next time you open the app. • A shared picture of your shelf carries the room you actually chose. • A cover no longer flickers as the book settles back onto the shelf. • On Mac, Done closes the finished-this-year list again. ### 1.6.1 — 2026-08-10 Biblio can now go and find books for you, not only hold the ones you already have. BROWSE A CATALOG The Add menu has a new door. It opens Project Gutenberg and its 75,000 free, public domain books. Search it, or wander through Popular, Latest and Random. A book arrives the way any other does, with a real cover and real metadata, filed on your shelf and ready to read. Run your own library? Add a server for Kavita, Calibre-Web, Komga, COPS or calibre's own content server. Anything that speaks OPDS will do. Test the connection before you save it, and your key or password stays in the device keychain, never synced. SHARE A LINE Select a passage in the reader and choose Share Quote. Biblio draws it as a picture in that book's own colours, with its cover, title, author and the chapter it came from, ready for wherever you post it. Saved highlights share the same way. JAPANESE SPINES STAND UP Japanese and Chinese titles now read top to bottom on the spine, the way they do on a real shelf. ANNOUNCEMENTS A new switch in Settings lets Biblio tell you when there is a new release or a free book worth reading. It is off until you turn it on, and turning it off stops everything. A few times a year at most, and never anything about what you read. ALSO Share your shelf on a photo of your own. See everything you finished this year as a poster of its covers. And a fix for a crash when opening a book from the list. ### 1.4 — 2026-07-22 • Books that open the right way — manga, Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian books now bind on the right and read back to front; top-bound documents flip up like a binder. Read straight from the epub, mirrored on the shelf, matched in the reader. Plus a new "document" genre. • Share your shelf — turn any view into a share-ready image (Story or Post): the shelf, a book in hand, the map, or the constellation, wordmark and your name included. • New arrivals wear an obi — a paper band that tears when you first open the book. • Read undisturbed — a Reading Focus quiets the library to just your book; epub page progress now keeps up screen by screen. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-17 • The world map now groups nearby bookshops into a single marker — tap to zoom in and spread them apart. Cities with several shops stay readable instead of overlapping. • Ask Vidya to find a book and the map now flies straight to its location. • Fixed the constellation losing your focused book when switching between light and dark. • Smoother book hover on the cascade shelf. • On Mac, the shelf no longer flickers when you switch back to the app. • More reliable iCloud and Biblio Cloud sync, with clearer messaging if a sync needs a moment to retry. ## Related topics [book store manager 3d](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/book-store-manager-3d) · [vitalsource bookshelf](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/vitalsource-bookshelf) · [librarian bookshelf](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/librarian-bookshelf) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
