bookshelv

bookshelv is your library on your phone: every book in one place, what you're reading, what you've read and who borrowed which book. START WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT • Your library lives on your device. No account, no email address, no server needed. • Book details and covers come straight from the German National Library and Open Library. • Back up to your own iCloud – or to a file, wherever you like. ADD BOOKS • Scan the ISBN, even many books in a row (bulk scan for the whole shelf). • Search by title or author, or enter a book yourself – with your own cover. • Print, e-book or audiobook, paperback or hardcover, sprayed edges or not. • Moving is easy: import from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Booky or CSV – just open the export file with bookshelv. READ AND RATE • Reading progress by page, reading dates, "did not finish" and a wishlist. • Reviews with half stars, moods and pace. • Reading lists, your top 5 on a wooden shelf, series, follow authors and see new releases. • Stats: books and pages per month, mood curve, genres, formats, ratings – and a year in review to share as an image. LEND WITHOUT FORGETTING • Who has which of your books, and since when? With due dates and a heads-up when something is overdue. WITH FRIENDS (OPTIONAL) • With an account on a bookshelv instance you see what your friends are reading, ask to borrow books and start buddy reads with spoiler protection. • The app keeps your library available offline; changes are sent later. • Connect your local library to an account at any time – without duplicate books. • bookshelv is open source (MIT): you can run your own instance for your circle of friends. FAIR AND PRIVATE • No ads, no tracking, no analytics. • Accounts only need a name and a password and can be deleted in the app. • bookshelv is free. Tips are welcome.
