Book Catalog: Shelf Scanner
Home Library ISBN Inventory
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Preview your collection with five saved books. Scan shelves, look up titles or import a CSV, then unlock Pro to catalog every book you own.
Book Catalog turns your bookshelves into a searchable personal collection. Photograph a shelf, review the recognized titles, and save the books you own. You can also scan ISBN barcodes, search by title or author, enter books by hand, or import a Goodreads or StoryGraph CSV.
Try the complete workflow with five saved books, shared across all entry methods. Upgrade to Pro to build your full collection. The preview does not reset each day. Books you have already saved stay accessible.
SCAN AND CHECK
Photograph a shelf and review the titles and authors found on its spines. Every match shows a confidence level, and uncertain matches are flagged for you to check. Nothing is added until you confirm. Photo recognition happens on your device. Only recognized words and ISBNs are sent to book catalogs for matching; your photo stays on your phone.
BUILD YOUR PERSONAL COLLECTION
Save your first five books by any combination of shelf scan, barcode, catalog search, manual entry or CSV import. Preview a large import before saving it. With Pro, add your entire collection without a book limit, including large imports and whole-shelf batches.
KNOW THE COPY YOU OWN
Pro collector fields record first edition, printing number, dust jacket, condition, signed copies, provenance, purchase price and estimated value. See a running total for your collection. Values are your own estimates, not professional appraisals.
AVOID DUPLICATES
Get a warning before adding a book you already own. The app distinguishes another copy of the same edition from a different edition of the same work. Pro includes a duplicates report for the whole library.
KEEP READING
Organize books on custom shelves. Track reading status, page progress, reading sessions, quotes and loans. Set an annual reading goal and follow your pace, streaks and reading statistics. These tools remain available for your saved books when you are not using Pro.
BRING YOUR LIBRARY WITH YOU
Preview Goodreads, StoryGraph and compatible CSV files, including titles, authors, ratings and reading dates. Imported books share the five-book preview. Pro unlocks full-library imports, CSV export and an insurance inventory PDF with condition and value.
PRIVATE AND ACCESSIBLE
Your library is stored on your device and can sync through your private iCloud database. No separate account is required. Dynamic Type and VoiceOver are supported. The camera is optional: catalog search, manual entry and import provide other ways to build your collection.

Build your personal collection with a clear five-book preview, shared across scans, manual entry, barcodes and imports. Pro unlocks unlimited collection building. The preview no longer resets daily. Existing books remain accessible.
Large imports can preview their first new books before you upgrade. Cancelling an upgrade keeps your entry or reviewed matches ready to continue.
Shelf Scan now finds far more of your books.
Each spine is read on its own, so neighboring books mix far less often.
Misreads, price stickers and publisher names now block far fewer matches.
Titles missing from Open Library are also looked up in Apple Books.
Spines the catalog could not check show Not checked with a Retry button.
Add by hand can search the catalog by title or author.
New installs start with an empty library.
