Bound and Borrowed
Track all your books!
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Keep track of your books, even the loaned ones, and Reader's Companion to help guide you through the book.
Bound and Borrowed is the calm, private way to catalog every book you own, remember what you've read, and never lose track of the ones you've lent out.
Scan a barcode and your book is added in seconds! Title, author, cover, and publisher filled in automatically. Prefer to add books by hand, import a list, or even snap a screenshot of your audiobook library. Bound and Borrowed catalogs those too.
Catalog your collection
• Scan barcodes to add books instantly
• Automatic details and cover art from the ISBN
• Physical books, e-books, and audiobooks all on one shelf
• Track multiple copies, condition, and where each one lives
• Import your existing library from a CSV
Track your reading
• Mark books read or unread, copy by copy
• See how many you've read this year and all-time
• Sort and filter by title, author, format, or read status
• A Home Screen widget keeps your stats a glance away
Never lose a loaned book again
• Record who borrowed which book, and when
• Set due dates and spot overdue books at a glance

Made for Audiobook listeners
• Mark any book as an audiobook and filter to just those
• Import your Audible or other audiobook library straight from screenshots read on your device, no uploads and no account needed
Private by design
Your library lives on your device. There's no account to create and nothing to sign in to. The only thing ever sent to the internet is an ISBN or a title, used to look up book details, never your personal data.
Free to Start
Catalog up to 50 books, track your reading, lend a couple at a time, and export your list — all free. Upgrade to Bound and Borrowed Pro with a single one-time purchase (no subscription) to unlock unlimited books and loans, CSV and audiobook import, the Home Screen widget, filtered exports, attachments, and bulk detail refresh.
Whether you're a lifelong collector, a casual reader, or the friend who always lends books and never gets them back, Bound and Borrowed keeps your whole library — and everyone who's borrowed from it — beautifully in order.
Reader's Companion is offered as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings after purchase. Prices are shown in the app and may vary by region.
