OnlyBooks
A personal bookshelf app
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your reading life, beautifully organised. A virtual bookshelf that actually looks like a bookshelf.
Your books deserve a better home than a spreadsheet.
OnlyBooks turns your reading life into a beautiful virtual bookshelf — every book you own or have read, arranged as spines just like a real shelf. Add a book in seconds, watch your collection grow.
A shelf that looks the part
Books are rendered as spines with their real cover art and colours. Customise the wall, adjust shelf colours, and make it yours.
Track what matters
Log when you started and finished a book, or simply mark it as read if you can't remember the dates. Your stats page shows how many books you've read each month and how many pages you've powered through.
Find any book instantly
Search the Open Library catalogue of millions of titles to add books with cover art, author, year, and page count filled in automatically. Add several books at once with multi-select.
Stay organised
Tag books by genre, series, or anything else. Filter your shelf by tag, reading status, or month to find exactly what you're looking for.
Your data, your device
Everything is stored locally — no account, no cloud, no tracking. Export your entire library as a backup and import it on any device.
