BookBuddy: Personal Library

BookBuddy for Android is a personal library app that gives you a catalogue of every book you own, anywhere. Using BookBuddy is quick and easy, allowing you to find any book on your shelves, spot the ones you already have before you buy them twice, and keep track of what you have lent out. KEY FEATURES • Adding Your Books Add your books using any of the following: - Scan the barcode with your camera - Scan a whole shelf, one book straight after another - Read the front cover when there is no barcode - Enter the ISBN - Search online by title or author - Add manually - Import from Goodreads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, or a CSV file • Organising Your Books Place your books where they belong: - My Books: books you own - Wish List: books you want - Borrowed: books you borrowed from someone else - Previously Owned: books you no longer have • Finding Them Again Put every book on a shelf in a room, and photograph the bookcase while you are standing at it. Finding a book becomes recognising a shelf instead of decoding "Study, shelf 3". • Never Buying The Same Book Twice Scan a book in a shop and BookBuddy instantly tells you that you already own it, in hardback, in the loft. It checks your own shelves, with no signal and no waiting. • Finishing The Series See which volumes you are missing, with a numbered gap where each one belongs, and put that exact volume on your wish list in a tap. • Getting Your Books Back Set a date when you lend a book out and BookBuddy reminds you once a day while it is late. One tap writes the awkward message for you. • Unlocking Your Reading Insights Deep dive into your reading habits by exploring the following statistics: - Books Finished: track the number of books you have completed - Pages Read: see your page count over time - Time Read: see how long you have spent reading - Top Authors: discover your most read authors - Favourite Genres: identify your preferred genres MORE TO LOVE • Reading timer: time a session and log the pages without doing the sums yourself. • Progress bars: see how far into each book you are, on the cover, switched on or off as you like. • Personalise: use shelves and tags, mark favourites, add notes, and much more. • Appearance: choose list or grid view, pick your own accent colour, and read in the dark. • Custom filters: quickly narrow your library by several things at once. • Advanced sorting: sort by title, author, date added, rating, or page count. • Loans: instantly see what is out, who has it, and when it is due back. • Multiple selection: apply batch operations using multiple selection. • Reading status: filter your books by how far through them you are. • Quick find: instantly find books by typing a keyword or scanning a barcode. • Export: quickly export your library into CSV, PDF, or one file that holds the lot. • Print: easily print your books by author. • Backup: leave a daily copy in a folder of your choosing. • Activity history: view the full history of your reading and lending. • Duplicates: quickly detect duplicates and easily remove them. • Privacy: your library is saved locally and privately on your device. • And so much more! BookBuddy for Android runs on phones and tablets, and your library stays on your device. There is no account, no ads, and nothing is sent anywhere. Looking a book up asks Open Library and Google Books for the cover and the details, and nothing about you or the rest of your shelves goes with it. Everything else works without a signal.
