About

Find Book

Read full description

Find Book is a book identifier and home library app. Point your camera at any cover, spine or title page and Find Book identifies the book, even when there is no barcode to scan. That is the case every barcode-only scanner fails: old paperbacks, damaged jackets, library-bound editions and out-of-print titles. KEY FEATURES - AI cover and spine recognition. Identify a book from a photo, with on-device text recognition plus an AI lookup for title, authors, publisher, year, ISBN, language, format, page count and subjects - ISBN barcode scanning for books that do have one - Import a photo you already took from your photo library - Manual search with AI-assisted title and author completion - Voice search when your hands are full - Cover art pulled from Google Books and OpenLibrary - Personal library with Favorites and History, stored offline on your device - Sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro - Smart "similar books" suggestions when you want to know what to read next - A Top List of curated and best-selling titles to browse - A book trivia quiz for readers who like a challenge - Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Export or delete your data any time - Light and dark themes, with an adaptive layout on iPad - A Home Screen widget showing a book from your library, with your book and favorite counts WHY FIND BOOK Barcode scanners are common. A scanner that reads a cover or a spine and still gets it right is not, and most of the apps that try it are built to price a book for resale rather than to help you keep track of what you own. Find Book is built the other way round: identify the book, then file it. Your library lives on your device first and syncs in the background, so it is there whether or not you have a signal. Find Book has no ads and no tracking. There is no ad SDK in the app, no ad network, and nothing sold to a data broker. Every privacy manifest in the app declares zero tracking. You are not the product here. Your bookshelf is.
