Lunarium is a library management app for organizing books you own or plan to buy, checking new releases, and keeping reading records. Organize print books and ebooks by shelf or series, and track ownership and reading status. ■ Scan to add books Scan an ISBN barcode to look up the title, author, publisher, release date, list price, description, and cover. Supports ISBN-13, ISBN-10, JAN-13, and LUN-13. Add books manually when no match is found, or use the camera to read a printed ISBN or LUN-13 number without a barcode. ■ New-release search and alerts Look up books by series and authors already in your library, and check which volumes you are missing. Follow a series or author to receive alerts when new releases are found. Upcoming volumes in followed series can also be added to your cart automatically. Sort search results by release date or group them by series. Books also appear on the release calendar before you add them to your cart. Release reminders are available for books in your cart. New-release search and alerts require a Lunarium Pro subscription and support books published in Japan only. ■ Cart and planned purchases Collect books in your cart, mark them as preordered or purchased, and scan barcodes to add books while browsing a bookstore. See the total price, sort books, or hide later releases. Add books to your cart or mark them as purchased from the release calendar. ■ Add books in batches Use continuous scanning or enter several codes at once. Choose a shelf, ownership status, and reading status to apply as books are added. Skip duplicates or add another copy. Both the camera and connected barcode scanners are supported. ■ Organize shelves, copies, and series Create nested shelves for home, work, ebooks, or storage boxes. Track each copy of a book with its own location and status. Browse series by volume or release date, move a whole series to another shelf, and view its YSA information. ■ Next to Read and reading records Add books to Next to Read and drag to arrange their order. Start reading or update status and ratings from book details, library swipe actions, or a barcode scan. Save half-star ratings, notes, tags, and completion dates. ■ Reading timer and goals Track reading time and set daily goals by minutes or books finished. Schedule goals around weekdays and holidays, with reminders and monthly or yearly reviews. View progress over time, and use Live Activities, widgets, and Apple Watch to view and manage reading on supported devices. ■ Smart Lists, search, and filters Search by title, author, ISBN, series, shelf, or tag. Filter by ownership, reading status, rating, or date. Smart Lists gather books matching your rules, including periods such as the last three months. Switch between grid and list views, sort books, and edit multiple selections at once. ■ Library and reading statistics Review your library size, purchases and spending, completed books, and monthly or yearly trends, with breakdowns by shelf, series, and more. Choose what to include, preview the result, and share your statistics as an image or save it to Photos. ■ Your library on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Scan on iPhone and organize on iPad or Mac. Sync through iCloud across devices using the same Apple ID. Saved book details and covers are generally available offline. ■ CSV and ZIP backups Import and export library data as CSV. ZIP backups also include covers, shelves, series, Next to Read, Smart Lists, reading goals, and reading history. ■ Spotlight and Siri On supported OS versions, find and open books through Spotlight and Siri / Apple Intelligence. ■ Lunarium Pro Lunarium is ad-free, with core features available for free. A Pro subscription adds new-release search and alerts, higher book lookup and YSA check allowances, bulk information refresh, and PDF417 shelf labels for choosing where to add books.

We added a feature to let you know when the server is unavailable during this maintenance. You can continue using the app during maintenance, but you cannot search for new releases, update information, or retrieve new books from the server. Bug Fixes ・Fixed an issue where Live Activities could fail to start or disappear during an ongoing reading session on an iPhone paired with an Apple Watch or an iOS device on the same Wi-Fi network as a Mac or other device. ・Fixed an issue where starting a reading session was delayed when the library contained many books. ・Fixed an issue where a series could be shown as having books on different shelves when it included planned purchases (books added to the cart). ・Fixed an issue where library data could revert to an earlier state if different changes were made on multiple devices at different times and iCloud sync encountered a temporary problem. ・Fixed an issue where the option to hide other editions of volumes you own, such as special editions, was missing from some menus. Performance Optimizations ・Fixed an issue where searching the series list could cause dropped frames or delays in keyboard input and screen updates. ・Fixed an issue where the screen would stutter when searching for books in the library. ・Reduced frame drops when adding books to a shelf. ・Fixed frame drops in some other parts of the UI. Other Fixes ・Unified the shelf selection UI shown when moving books between shelves in bulk. ・Fixed an issue where shelf information was not cleared when marking a book as sold using Update Registered Book. ・Adjusted the library data export screen. Exports now use the share sheet, allowing you to save to Files or share via AirDrop and other apps. ### 1.3.2 — 2026-10-17 New Release Notifications and Cart ・Added an option to hide other editions of the same volume (such as standard or special editions) when you already own a version, such as the special edition of Volume 3. ・When searching for missing volumes or new releases from Series Details, search results are now shown even if the series is excluded. ・Books marked as purchased in the Cart now remain in the list temporarily, so you can undo the purchase status. ・Unified the appearance of some sorting and filtering options. ・Added an option to hide purchased books in the release calendar. ・Fixed an issue where the latest bibliographic information for upcoming books was sometimes not reflected correctly. Reading Status ・Fixed an issue where the Reading Status screen kept showing save confirmations from previous reading sessions. ・Volume numbers now appear as badges on the Reading Status screen. ・Tapping a book on the Reading Status screen now opens its details.

UI and UX Improvements and Optimization ・Optimized for iPhone Duo. ・Added side-by-side layouts on iPhone in landscape and on iPad and Mac to make better use of screen space, just as on iPhone Duo. ・Improved readability when the text size is set larger than normal. ・Fixed an issue where some text was not displayed when no Smart Lists had been created. ・Redesigned the YSA Check screen to make it easier to use and understand. ・Fixed an issue where scanning a book barcode in YSA Check behaved as a continuous check even when continuous checking was disabled. ・Reduced some delays and frame drops in Bookshelf and Series management, Settings, and the Cart, and optimized overall app performance. ・Actions available by swiping books can now also be accessed from the right-click menu, making them easier to use on macOS. ・Fixed other issues on macOS where some buttons were missing or displayed twice. ### 1.3.1 — 2026-10-07 Widgets ・Added an upcoming book releases widget that you can place on your Home Screen. ・Added buttons for Control Center and other supported locations. Tap a button to open Add to Library or Check YSA. Cart and New Release Search ・Added an option to hide books marked as Dangerous by YSA to the display options in both Check My Library and the release calendar. ・Fixed an issue in Check My Library and the release calendar where the option to exclude a book’s series from searches was missing when other books in that series had been found, but only one book was registered in your library and it was not grouped into a series. Other Changes ・Support for iOS 17 has ended. Lunarium now requires iOS 18 or later. ・Optimized for iOS 27. ・Improved performance when first opening tabs such as Cart and Reading Status just after launching the app. Bug Fixes ・Fixed an issue where adding a book through new book registration did not change its status in the Cart to purchased. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-30 New Release Notifications ・New release notifications are now available.
