ShelfCheck Pro
ISBN Scanner & Duplicate Check
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Stop buying books you already own. Scan any ISBN barcode and instantly know if it is on your shelf. Red means owned, green means new. No account needed. Works offline.
Never buy the same book twice.
ShelfCheck is the fastest way to check if you already own a book before you buy it. Just point your iPhone at the barcode, and in under a second you get a clear answer: red for owned, green for new, amber for a possible different edition.
Built for book collectors, avid readers, and anyone who has ever come home from a bookstore only to realize they already had that book on the shelf.
KEY FEATURES
Instant Duplicate Check
Scan any ISBN barcode and get immediate feedback. Three-layer matching checks exact ISBN, title and author fuzzy match, and online database lookup to catch duplicates even across different editions.
Works Offline
No Wi-Fi at the used book sale? No problem. ShelfCheck checks your entire local library instantly without an internet connection. Online metadata lookup happens in the background when you are back online.
Zero Friction
No account to create, no cloud service to sign up for, no social features to distract you. Open the app and start scanning. Your data stays on your device.
Continuous Scan Mode
Toggle continuous mode to scan dozens of books in minutes. Each scan shows instant feedback and automatically moves to the next. Perfect for cataloging an entire bookshelf or browsing a library sale.
Your Book Library
Browse all your books in a clean list view. Search by title, author, or ISBN. Sort by date added, title, or author. Filter by tags to find any book in seconds.
Book Details and Notes
Tap any book to see full details including cover, publisher, page count, and more. Add personal notes, mark books as read, and track which books you have lent out and to whom.
Custom Tags and Lending Tracker
Organize your collection with custom tags. Track lent books with borrower name and date. Never lose track of who has your favorite novel again.
CSV Export
Export your entire library as a CSV file for backup or import into other tools. Your data, your way.
Manual Book Entry
No barcode? No problem. Add books manually by entering the title, author, and ISBN. The app will still check for duplicates and look up metadata automatically.
Smart ISBN Handling
Automatically normalizes ISBN-10 and ISBN-13 formats. Handles hyphens, spaces, and prefix variations so you never miss a match.
Default Shelf Location
Set a default shelf location in Settings so every new book is automatically assigned to the right spot on your bookshelf.
