Ex Libris is a quiet & cozy home for your reading life.
Scan a book's barcode or snap its cover and it lands on your shelf with the details already filled in. Nudge your progress as you read, keep the passages worth keeping, and share the whole thing with your friends.
ADD A BOOK IN SECONDS
Point your camera at the barcode on the back, or photograph the cover and let your iPhone read the title. Search by title or author, or add rare finds and borrowed copies by hand.
FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS
Ex Libris keeps the sessions quietly in the background, works out your pace, and tells you roughly how many days are left in the book. When you finish, rate it, write a line to remember it by, and pass it on.
KEEP THE GOOD LINES
Scan a page and pull the text straight off it. Highlight the passages that stopped you, add a personal note, and share it with friends.
MARK IT AS YOURS
Design your own bookplate — a frame, a typeface for your initials, a color. It follows you everywhere you turn up: your profile, your comments, your friends' pages.
READ WITH FRIENDS
Add friends by handle and see what they're reading. Browse their shelf, read the quotes they've kept, talk about a book with everyone else reading the same edition, and recommend the ones you think they'd enjoy reading too.
No ads, or tracking, or a feed to scroll. Just your books, and the people you want to share them with.
Ex Libris...from the library of you.
Ratings & Reviews
• Tap a notification and go straight to the thing it's about — the comment, the book, the highlight, or the reader.
• Highlights can now be edited. Fix a scanned word or a wrong page without starting over.
• Filter your highlights by book.
• Find readers has its own screen, with results as you type.
• Book covers are kept on your device, so they stop disappearing when a catalog is slow.
• Reading stats now follow corrections — fix a page count and the day's total follows.

• Assorted fixes to search, page entry, and layout at larger text sizes.
