Full description
ShelfBuddy is a beautiful, calm book tracker built entirely around reading. Keep track of every book and audiobook you own, are reading, have lent out, or still wish for. Your whole library, organized on one digital bookshelf, with your data always in your hands. Freshly redesigned in the new "Paper & Ink" look. 📚 YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED Build your personal library and organize it your way. Create custom shelves (Fantasy, Thrillers, Classics), keep a wishlist of books you still want, and plan your next read with a reading list. Your "Continue Reading" card puts your current book right on the home screen. Make the overview your own: drag its sections into your order and hide the ones you don't use. 📖 BOOK SERIES AT A GLANCE See for every series which volumes you own and which are still missing. Search for a book series or an author under "Series" and browse every volume in reading order, even before you own one. Add missing volumes to your wishlist or a shelf with one tap and get notified when a new volume is released. 🔒 YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE Your library belongs to you. You decide where it lives. Keep everything 100% on your device for complete privacy, or switch on optional cloud sync to back up your books and access them across devices via your own Google Drive. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose it. And you can export a full backup of your library anytime, so your books are never locked in. 💻 ALSO ON YOUR COMPUTER With ShelfBuddy Premium you can open your library in the browser on your computer too, at app.shelfbuddy.de. Link it to your phone once with a QR code, no account needed. Everything is encrypted on your phone before it syncs, so the server cannot read it. 📈 TRACK YOUR READING ShelfBuddy is a reading tracker and reading log in one. Set each book to unread, reading, or finished, add start and finish dates, rate your books, and watch detailed reading statistics build up by month and year. Share your personal reading recap as an image. ⏱️ READING SESSIONS WITH A READING TIMER Start a reading session and the built-in reading timer tracks your reading time automatically. When you finish, simply enter your current page and ShelfBuddy updates your progress and your reading pace. See how long you have read per book, log past reading time manually, and start your next session straight from the home screen, the app icon, or a widget. 🔍 INSIGHTS: GET TO KNOW YOUR READING HABITS ShelfBuddy turns your reading sessions into a picture of how you read. A reading calendar shows which days you read and how much. See the time of day and the weekdays you read most, which genres get most of your reading time, your personal records, and how you read each book, devoured in a weekend or savoured in small steps. A short written summary puts your reading year into words. Insights are part of ShelfBuddy Premium. 📕 A READING JOURNAL & BOOK LOG Log every book you read and turn reading into a habit. Track your reading progress, keep reading stats, and look back on everything you've finished. A book journal and reading diary that grows with you. ⚡ ADD BOOKS IN SECONDS Scan the ISBN barcode with the built-in ISBN scanner, or search millions of books by title, author or ISBN. You can also add books manually. Import your existing library from Goodreads and StoryGraph. 🖋️ AUTHORS & LENDING Follow your favorite authors and get notified about new releases. The lending tracker remembers who has which book, with return reminders. 🎨 MADE YOURS Dark mode, selectable accent colors, and available in many languages. Whether you're a casual reader or a lifelong bookworm, ShelfBuddy is the book tracker, reading log and bookshelf that brings order to your book collection. On your terms, with your data staying yours. Download ShelfBuddy and start tracking your books today.
