Bookshelf (for Collectors)

Book Collection Tracker

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Every book. Every little detail. Give your collection a home with Bookshelf (for Collectors). Catalog up to 25 books free, then unlock unlimited additions with a one-time purchase. No subscription. Whether you’re browsing a used bookstore or choosing your next read at home, Bookshelf helps you remember what you own—and what makes each copy yours. BUILD YOUR BOOKSHELF Scan an ISBN barcode or search by title, author, series or publisher. Review the available information and save your copy. Add older or hard-to-find books manually, with as much or as little detail as you like. KNOW WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN Scanned ISBNs automatically check your saved collection. See your copies and their details before bringing another one home. KEEP THE DETAILS THAT MATTER Record binding, edition, printing, signatures, special editions, condition, shelf location, purchase information and personal notes. Keep multiple copies as individual records, or group matching titles for a simpler view. MAKE IT YOURS Choose your collection counts and the details shown beneath each title. Browse a readable list or a gallery of cover art. Find a cover, photograph your own or paste a copied image, then crop it to fit. READ, COLLECT AND EXPLORE Track read and unread books, add personal ratings and reading notes, keep a wishlist, and follow your progress through supported series. Scan a copyright page for edition and printing suggestions that you review before saving. KEEP YOUR COLLECTION CLOSE Use Bookshelf on iPhone, iPad and compatible Apple-silicon Macs. Optional iCloud syncing keeps your library available across your devices. Export backups and access local recovery copies for added protection. FREE TO START • Catalog up to 25 owned physical copies free. • Each physical copy counts separately; wishlist books don’t count. • Unlock unlimited additions with one purchase—no subscription. • Your saved books remain available to view, edit and export. • Eligible Family Sharing members can share the full-library unlock while keeping their collections private. • Customers who purchased the original paid app retain full access. No Bookshelf account is required. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, with light and dark appearance. Book information, covers and series availability vary by source. Copyright-page suggestions help you record details; they do not authenticate an edition or printing.
