Bookshelf catalogues your books by pointing your camera at them. Scan the barcode on the back or photograph the front cover, and the book arrives on your shelf with its title, author, cover art, publisher and year already filled in.
RECOGNITION THAT DOESN'T GIVE UP
• Barcode: hold the ISBN in frame and it fires on its own, no button to press
• No barcode, or a worn one? Photograph the front cover instead. The title is read on-device and matched against Open Library and Google Books
• Still nothing? The app offers to scan the other side, then falls back to manual entry, prefilled with whatever the scan did manage to read
• Secondhand finds, book club editions and pre-ISBN books are exactly what that chain is built for
SHELVES, NOT ONE LONG LIST
• A shelf per room, per box, per reading year — whatever matches how you actually keep books
• Group shelves into locations, and reorder them by dragging
• Move books between shelves as the library moves
CATALOGUE IT TOGETHER
• Invite collaborators by username
• Owner, admin and reader roles, so a shared shelf can be edited by some and only read by others
• Invitations arrive in an inbox and notify the other person
• Everything syncs, so two people working through the same bookcase never overwrite each other
YOUR TAKE ON EVERY BOOK
• My Picks: a rating, a reading state and private notes on any book
• See at a glance what you are reading, what you have finished and what is still waiting
FIND ANYTHING
• One search across your books, your shelves and the people you share with, ranked by relevance
AN ASSISTANT THAT KNOWS YOUR SHELVES
• Ask what to read next, what a book is about, or what you already own by an author
THE DETAILS
• Light and dark
• English, German, Japanese and Simplified Chinese
• Sign in with Apple, Google or Facebook
• The camera is the only permission, and it is asked for at your first scan
