oobookoo is a warm, quiet home for every book you've ever loved. Built by book lovers for book lovers, we specialise in only physical books collecting and library tracking. We support indie book shops directly.
SCAN YOUR WHOLE LIBRARY
Scan up to 40 books at one time. Snap a photo of an entire shelf using our "Bookshelf Scanner" and oobookoo will recognise each book and add them to your digital Bookshelf. Search across everything you've ever read, filter by genre, and rediscover what you'd half-forgotten.
FINISH THE SERIES
oobookoo quietly looks up the rest of every series you own. The next volume. The prequel you forgot existed. The one you skipped. It surfaces what's missing without you having to ask, and adds the gaps to your Wishlist with a tap.
TRACK A READ THAT FEELS REAL
Choose how you rate: classic stars, a quick Yes-Maybe-No verdict, or six honest emoji vibes. Log a session, set a target finish date, and let oobookoo do the maths on the pace you need to keep. See your streaks, your weekday rhythm, the quiet pride of a finished book without the pressure.
READ WITH PEOPLE YOU LIKE
Start a *private* bookclub. Invite the friends you actually want in it. Pick a book together — or put it to a vote with a poll — set a pace, and glance at the progress ring next to every member's avatar to see who's where; sharing is opt-in. Plan in-person meetups with RSVPs and recaps, and let oobookoo suggest discussion questions to get the conversation going. Tap a post to blur a spoiler. Replies stay tidy: one level deep, no rabbit holes.
DISCOVER WITHOUT GETTING LOST
Recommendations picked just for you in For You, refreshed every week. Editorial picks from real people and bestsellers, organised by list. Rare-book finds from collectors and small presses. Browse other readers' shelves — peek at someone's library and add anything that catches your eye to your own.
SUPPORT INDIE BOOKSHOPS
When you find your next read, oobookoo points you to the nearest independent bookshop. Search shops and cities, or find them on the map. Your library, your local store, your community.
YOUR READING IS YOURS
No ads. No selling your data. No tracking what you read to recommend things to advertisers. Bookclubs are invite-only, there's no public broadcasting unless you choose it. Delete your account in a couple taps; it removes everything at once.
WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PREMIUM
Free covers your personal library and the heart of oobookoo: unlimited ISBN, search, and manual entry, CSV import, a couple of AI Bookshelf Scanner shelf-photos, joining bookclubs and creating your first, browsing Staff Picks and lists, a taste of For You, and the indie bookshop map.
Premium — by subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock — adds unlimited AI Bookshelf Scanner, weekly For You recommendations, unlimited bookclubs with premium themes, AI discussion questions, hosting in-person meetups, reading sessions and pacing, full stats and Wrapped, collector tools (formats, archive, provenance), and premium share layouts and Shelfie.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
**Read even without a signal**
A new Offline mode lets you browse your library, take notes, rate books, and read your downloaded classics without an internet connection. Everything you do offline syncs back the moment you're online again.
**Custom shelves, at last**
Create your own shelves and put a book on as many as you like. Cozy autumn reads. Reference. Signed copies. Organize your library the way you actually think about it.
**Quick-add a book from anywhere**
Share any book link — Amazon, Bookshop, Apple Books, Goodreads — or a pasted ISBN, straight into oobookoo from the system share sheet.
**Your reading month, on a card you can share**
Personal Monthly Recap is a swipeable story of what you read this month, ending in a share card you can send to friends.
**Free classics now have a full reading life**
Every public-domain book you download has Want / Currently Reading / Read status, page-progress tracking, session logs, and a proper finish-a-book flow — just like books you added yourself.
**A design refresh, throughout**
The whole app got a quiet polish pass: unified colors, corner radii, and typography, a warmer brand accent, better Dynamic Type scaling, and consistent sheets, shadows, and empty states everywhere.
Small kindnesses to help our users:
• For You is easier to browse. A new Bookshelf-pager card, cleaner list header, richer descriptions
• Quick-add surfaces the nearest indie bookstore inside the confirmation sheet
• The share extension now understands Amazon short links
• Reader "back to where you were" timer restarts when you scrub
• Meetup Add-to-Calendar no longer creates duplicate events
• Free Classic detail no longer shows another book's synopsis after a switch
• Duplicate-book review no longer flags distinct editions as copies
• Chrome buttons now have a proper 44pt tap target
• Fixed-size on-screen text now scales with Dynamic Type
