Bookshelf turns your phone into the fastest way to catalogue, track, and actually finish the books you own. Scan to Add — Instantly Point your camera at any barcode and Bookshelf identifies the book in under a second using a rich local catalog plus live metadata sources. Scan multiple books back‑to‑back without waiting. Scan to Wishlist Browsing a bookstore but not ready to commit? Switch to Wishlist mode and scan potential reads to compare later — without adding them to your main library. Your Library, Anywhere Your entire collection is cached on your device, so you can browse and search with zero signal. Pull to refresh whenever you’re back online. Track Your Reading Mark books as To Read, Reading, Read, or DNF. Rate titles 1–5 stars, keep private notes, and track your page progress — or listening time for audiobooks. Reading Sessions Start a session before you settle in and Bookshelf automatically pauses its own notifications for true focus. When you’re done, it asks for your current page and logs your time toward your stats. Reviews See what others thought or write your own, complete with star rating and spoiler warning. Wishlist & Shopping List Keep a running list of books you want so it’s ready when you’re actually standing in a bookstore. Mark a title as “Got it!” the moment you buy it. Make It Yours Choose light, dark, or auto to match your system. Set default reading status and ownership type so adding books is one tap, not four. Secure by Default Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID. Enable optional push notifications only for the things you want to be interrupted for — you’re in control. Bookshelf syncs with your account at bookshelf.nz, so everything you add on your phone is instantly available on the web too.
