Lunarium - Manage books
Best app for manage bookshelf.
Free · In‑App Purchases
Lunarium keeps your print books and ebooks in one library.
Scan a book's barcode, organize it by shelf or series, and check which volumes you own. Keep a shopping list and a record of your reading, too.
Core features are free, with no ads.
■ Add books by barcode
Scan an ISBN barcode to look up the title, author, cover, and other details. Add several books with continuous scanning or a list of ISBNs.
No barcode? Use the camera to read a printed ISBN. You can also enter book details yourself when a search finds no match.
■ Know where your books are
Create shelves for rooms, storage boxes, or ebook stores. If you own more than one copy, track each copy's location and status separately.
Browse a series in volume order to see what you own. When you rearrange your shelves or move home, select several books to change their shelf together.
■ Browse covers or narrow your search
Choose a cover grid or a detailed list. Search by title or author, and filter by shelf, tag, or reading status.
Save a rule such as “unread books” as a Smart List, and matching books appear automatically.
■ Keep a list of books to buy
Add books to your cart, track preorders, check the total price, and set release reminders.
Mark a book as purchased to add it to your library. You can also scan a barcode in a bookstore to add a book to your cart.
■ Check new releases and missing volumes
Find new books and volumes you don't own from series and authors in your library. Browse upcoming releases on a calendar and add them to your cart.
Follow a series or author to receive alerts when new releases are found. You can also choose to add upcoming books from followed series to your cart automatically.
New-release search and alerts require Lunarium Pro and cover Japanese books only.
■ Record your reading
Mark books as Unread, Reading, or Finished. Save ratings, notes, and completion dates.
Arrange your Next to Read list, track time with the reading timer, and set goals by time or books finished. Check your progress on a calendar.
On supported devices, view and manage reading through widgets, Live Activities, and Apple Watch.
■ Look back at your books and reading
See how many books you bought, what you spent, and what you finished each month or year. View breakdowns by shelf and series.
Choose which statistics to include, then save or share them as an image.
■ Use iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Add books on iPhone and organize them on iPad or Mac. iCloud sync keeps your library shared across devices using the same Apple Account. Saved book details and covers are available offline.
Import and export CSV files, or make a ZIP backup that includes covers and reading records.
