## What is Folena?

A place for your books.

Folena brings your personal library to iPhone and iPad. Warm paper tones, generous book covers and clear views make it easy to find your books and keep your next reads in sight.

YOUR BOOKS, YOUR SHELVES
Add books by hand or look up matching book details with an ISBN. Check the edition before saving, then add your own covers, personal notes, shelf location and rating.

ORGANIZE YOUR WAY
Create collections for favorites, holidays, recipes or anything else you like. A book can belong to more than one collection. Keep the books you want in your wishlist. Unread, reading and read stay separate from whether you own a book.

FIND IT AGAIN
Switch between cover grid and list, sort your books and search your saved library. Notes and collections help you find the right book, too. Your search terms stay on your device.

MORE ABOUT EACH BOOK
Browse available descriptions and edition details. When matching information is available, explore author profiles and other works in your book edition's language. Open your own book photos and available covers in the media view.

FOLENA PRO
Save up to 20 books in total, including your wishlist, scan ISBN codes with the camera and look up ISBNs by hand for free. The optional one-time purchase Folena Pro adds unlimited books, full access to Discover and small achievements drawn from your library. No subscription.

PRIVATE, EVEN OFFLINE
Folena needs no account, displays no ads and uses no telemetry. Your saved library works offline. New book details, covers and discoveries require an internet connection; availability and coverage depend on the sources.

For iPhone and iPad. Available in German, English, French and Spanish.
