## What is Book Catalog?

Turn your bookshelf into a catalog. Point the camera at a barcode and the book files itself — cover, title, author, and ISBN — onto the right shelf. Catalog a whole wall of books in an afternoon, then find any title in a tap.

Standing in a bookstore wondering if you already own it? Now you know.

No account needed. No ads. No social feed. Your collection stays yours and syncs across iPhone and iPad with iCloud.

SCAN YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY
• Point-and-scan barcode capture with automatic cover and metadata lookup
• Keep scanning down a shelf without stopping between books
• Type an ISBN on a dedicated keypad when a barcode won't read
• Search by title or author for older books with no barcode at all
• Snap your own cover photo — it's cropped and cleaned up for you

ORGANIZE YOUR WAY
• Custom shelves, plus auto-shelving by category as books come in
• Search, filter, and sort across the entire collection
• Reading status and star ratings on every book
• Notes and a private review on the books that matter

FOR COLLECTORS AND LENDERS
• Track who borrowed a book and when it's due back
• Record edition, condition, location, and signed copies
• Keep an insurance-ready record of what you own

TRACK YOUR READING
• Mark where you are in each book and keep a list of what's next
• A reading log of what you finished and when — visible only to you

MOVING FROM GOODREADS?
• Import your Goodreads export: status, ratings, dates, and shelves come across
• Export your whole catalog to CSV whenever you want it back out

FREE, WITH A ONE-TIME UPGRADE
Catalog up to 50 books free — no trial, no card, no subscription. Need more? Book Catalog Pro is a single one-time purchase, yours for life: unlimited library, Goodreads import, and CSV export. Books you've already added are never locked away.

Book Catalog is for home librarians, collectors, and anyone with more books than shelf space.

Made by Spruzzo Labs — a creative lab.

### 4/5 — Hope to improve

*2026-01-06*

When I use edit to add book text information, the pictures previously stored in this reading record app picture app will automatically disappear.

### 3/5 — Warning: Users Update Catalogue

*2025-11-16*

This is a good tool to catalogue and organize your books. A few criticisms. The app relies on the users to update the catalogue. That means if someone is lazy putting in a book, you have to update it on your end when you scan in the same book for yourself. Considering the fact that all books have ISBNs I would think scanning a book would garner complete information from the internet.

Speaking of ISBNs, why are we not able to look up a book via their ISBN? I own special edition books that don’t have a scannable ISBN on the back. It would be nice to be able to type in the ISBN in the search bar and get the book. Of course nothing will come up if no one has ever entered it but I can dream.

Also, if you read indie authors as often as I do, be prepared to enter in all of the details yourself when you scan them.
