Paginor sorts your books the way you keep them on the shelf. CAPTURE Hold the barcode in front of the camera. Paginor reads the ISBN and fetches title, author, publisher, cover and blurb from the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek, Open Library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Biblioteca Nacional de España or the Library of Congress. You decide which sources are asked. Several books one after another, without interruption. Or type the ISBN by hand. No match? Then photograph the cover yourself. If a book is already in your library, Paginor tells you right away — including the shelf it sits on. ORGANISE Create shelves the way you think of them: fiction, crime, non-fiction, the family shelf. A book can sit on several. Every shelf gets a name, a colour and a symbol. Filter by reading status, author and publisher. Keep track of what is on your wishlist, what you are reading and what you have finished, along with your rating. SHARE Publish single shelves as a finished web page. Paginor generates the HTML files and uploads them to your own server over SFTP — or packs them into a ZIP archive to pass on. The pages appear in your app language and carry your name. Through iCloud you share shelves with others. For each person you decide whether they only read or may contribute. GIFT CHECK In the bookshop, open someone's shared shelf, scan the barcode — and Paginor tells you whether the book is already there. Without browsing through their collection. BACKUP Once a day Paginor backs up your library to your iCloud. On top of that you can export a backup file or a CSV list at any time. NO ACCOUNT No sign-up, no servers of ours. Your data stays on your device and, if you want, in your personal iCloud. No tracking, no advertising, no analytics. PAGINOR PLUS For free you use one shelf with ten books — enough to get a feel for it. Paginor Plus lifts both limits, unlocks sharing over iCloud and allows write access on shared shelves. A one-time purchase, no subscription, Family Sharing included.
