BookRoom is a calm, private home for your reading life. Build a personal library for the books you own or borrow, and keep a wishlist for the books you hope to own — then keep every detail close at hand. Add a book your way: scan its ISBN, search by title or author, or enter it manually. Already have a library elsewhere? Import from Goodreads, StoryGraph, LibraryThing, Libib, BookBuddy or Book Tracker, or from a CSV, TSV or JSON file. BookRoom helps you keep your shelves organized without turning reading into a chore. WITH BOOKROOM YOU CAN • Track reading status: want to read, reading, finished, paused or abandoned. • Keep a wishlist for books you want to own or read, separate from your library. • Scan ISBN barcodes to add books faster. • Search by title or author when you do not have the book nearby. • Keep ratings, dates, notes, tags, sagas and book details together. • Browse your library in grid, list or showcase view. • Filter and sort by status, author, genre, language, decade, page count, saga, tags and more. • Record reading activity and see your progress over time. • Track books you lend or borrow, so every book has a clear history. • Import books from supported catalogs and files, or restore a complete BookRoom backup with notes and loans. • Export your library as a portable JSON backup. • Sync your library automatically across your devices with iCloud when it is available. Your library is yours. BookRoom does not require an account.
