Your whole book collection, finally organized โ€” including Romanian editions other apps can't find. Personal Library turns your phone into an ISBN scanner for your bookshelf. Scan a book's barcode and it's cataloged in seconds: cover, title, author, publisher, translator and page count filled in automatically. No more duplicate purchases, no more "do I already own this?" SCAN YOUR HOME LIBRARY IN MINUTES Point the camera at the barcode and the book is on your shelf. Cataloging hundreds of books has never been this fast. FINDS THE BOOKS OTHERS MISS Details come from several sources, including Romanian publishers and bookshops, so Romanian and hard-to-find editions are filled in too. One button fills the gaps across your whole library. AI LOOKUP WHEN THE CATALOGS COME UP EMPTY When a book isn't in any catalog, AI lookup searches bookshop websites and fills in the details, the cover, a description and the author's biography โ€” only from pages it can cite. Turn it on automatically in Settings; each search uses one AI credit. BRING YOUR LIBRARY WITH YOU Already use Goodreads or StoryGraph? Import your export file: shelves become lists, and your ratings and reviews come along. You can export your full library at any time. ORGANIZE THE WAY YOU THINK Shelves, lists and series. Mark what you own, track what you've read, what you're reading and what's next. AI SUMMARIES Ask for a recap with the ending, or a spoiler-free overview, in English or Romanian. SHARE WITH ANYONE Send a shelf, a list or a series as a link. It opens in any browser, no account needed. ALWAYS IN SYNC Your library is backed up and synced across your phone, tablet and the web. PLANS Personal Library is free to start. Plus and Pro unlock larger libraries and more features, and AI credit packs power the AI searches and summaries. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage them in your App Store account settings. Great for collectors cataloging a home library, readers tracking their TBR, and anyone who wants an ISBN scanner and book catalog in one.
