## What is Tibby?

A book tracker built around your own bookshelf, with a ginger tabby called Tibby.
Scan your shelf, check the matches, and your books land in the order they stand.
Then arrange them by hand: lean one, stack a few, leave a gap.

Tibby welcomes you and helps you set up your shelf.

Add books your way: Scan Your Shelf for a whole row at once, Scan Barcode for one book after another, Search by title, author or ISBN and pick the edition, Say Titles to read out a list, or Type a Book. After a shelf scan you check the matches against your own spines, cut from the photo in the order they stand, then they go straight onto the shelf.

Coming from another app? Bring your library over from an export file or a spreadsheet, or share a book's link to Tibby.

Pick a scene, or choose the wall, the shelves and the decorations yourself, including your own photos. Keep more than one bookcase, and see your books as a shelf, a list or a grid.

Keep track of your reading. Time a reading session in a calm scene made from your shelf's look, with your book under a warm lamp. When you finish, your streak catches, your pages count up and your book fills in on your goal. Or update your page, or tap I Read Today. Set a goal for the next 12 months and keep a streak: one missed day won't break it. A daily reminder comes at the time you choose.

In Tibby's Picks, swipe through books Tibby picks for you and save the ones you want to read.

The You tab shows your reading by week, month, year and all time: time, pages, books finished, and the books you own against the ones you've read. Each month is a calendar of covers, one for every day you read.

Share a picture of your shelf in story, square or wallpaper size, and keep a bookcase on your Home Screen with the widget, in small, medium or large.

Tibby works on iPhone and iPad. There's no account to make: your library is saved on your device, and you can export it or save a backup. When you scan a shelf or say titles, an AI service reads the titles from your photo or recording, only if you agree.

Your first books go on your shelf before you choose a plan. Full access needs Tibby Pro, a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription. It covers adding more books, arranging the shelf, every look and decoration, more bookcases, importing a library, logging your reading, your goal and saving books from Tibby's Picks. The price and renewal terms show before you buy, and you can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
