## What is BookHoard?

BookHoard catalogs your library at the speed you actually collect books.

Scan a barcode. Done. It's in your library in seconds. Want to add a whole shelf at once? Photograph it. BookHoard reads the spines and adds every book.

Built for readers who already own too many books and finally want to start owning them on purpose.

WHAT BOOKHOARD DOES
• Barcode scanner — catalog a book in under 5 seconds
• Shelf scan — photograph a whole bookshelf, every spine added at once
• Duplicate detection so you don't buy the same book twice
• Separate Want to Read + Wishlist + custom lists — keep them intentional
• Lending tracker — know who has your copy of Beloved (it's Sarah; you lent it in October)
• Mood-based picks drawn from your actual library
• Built-in banned books index — see what's challenged in US schools and libraries this week
• Nearest indie bookstore + Little Free Library finder
• CSV import — bring your existing library along

YOUR LIBRARY IS YOURS
We don't sell your data. We don't share what you read. No advertiser tracking, no algorithmic feed, no profile we make shareable by default. Your books used to live on your shelves. We think the digital version should feel the same.

FREE TO START
Catalog up to 100 books. Try every premium feature for 30 days. No card required.

HOARD+ — $4.99/mo or $39.99/yr (save 33%)
Unlimited library. Unlimited recommendations. Up to 50 shelf scans per day. Mood-based picks.

Cancel anytime. We don't believe in lock-in.

The most obsessive book-tracking features we could build. Tap Get to start cataloging.
