ShelfBuddy: Book Tracker

ShelfBuddy is your digital bookshelf: beautiful, calm and built entirely around reading. Keep track of every book and audiobook you own, are reading, have lent out or still want. Your whole library, neatly organized, and your data always stays in your hands.

📚 YOUR LIBRARY, ORGANIZED
Create as many shelves as you like, for example Fantasy, Thrillers or Classics, keep wishlists, and plan what to read next with a reading list. A book may sit on several shelves, and copies marked "collected only" count neither as read nor as unread. Manage genres and tags across all your books at once, and "Edit fields" sets author, genres and tags for several books in one step. Filter your TBR pile by shelf, format, genre, tag or language.

🎧 BOOKS AND AUDIOBOOKS
The overview keeps books and audiobooks apart: audiobooks get their own series, wishlists, loans and statistics. Count them as read if you like, and keep manga and comics separate.

📖 BOOK SERIES AT A GLANCE
See for every series which volumes you own and which are still missing, and add them to your wishlist or a shelf with one tap. Discover suggests book series and audiobook series picked by your taste, search puts the series you look for first, and you get notified when a new volume is released.

⭐ RATINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Rate your books in quarter stars and see ratings from Thalia and other ShelfBuddy readers alongside. "Popular on ShelfBuddy" shows what the community is reading a lot right now, next to recommendations picked by your taste and "Next in your series".

📈 TRACK YOUR READING
Reading tracker and reading journal in one: status, start and finish dates, reading progress, notes and quotes, also for books you have read more than once. "Read as" remembers when you read a book as an eBook or a borrowed copy while the print edition stays on your shelf.

⏱️ READING SESSIONS WITH A READING TIMER
Start a reading session and the timer runs along. When you're done, enter your page and ShelfBuddy updates your progress and reading pace. Log past reading time after the fact, and start your next session from the home screen, the app icon or a widget, and the running session shows as a notification.

🔍 INSIGHTS: GET TO KNOW YOUR READING HABITS
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 records, your spending per week, month and year, and a short written summary of your reading year. Insights are part of ShelfBuddy Premium.

🎉 YOUR READING RECAP
Share your reading year or month as an image: six templates, headline styles, reading time or pages, your covers and highlights.

⚡ ADD BOOKS IN SECONDS
Scan the ISBN barcode, search millions of books or add books by hand. Import your library from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Reado and other apps, genres and covers included. "Missing details" fills in page counts and publishers, and you can export your whole library as a .csv spreadsheet.

🖋️ AUTHORS AND LENDING
Follow your favorite authors in several languages and get notified about new titles. Lending remembers who has which book, with a reminder to get it back, and borrowed books remember when you got them.

🔒 YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE
Keep everything 100% local on your device, or sync via your own Google Drive. Export a complete backup at any time. With ShelfBuddy Premium you can also open your library in the browser on your computer at app.shelfbuddy.de, linked with a QR code, no account needed and encrypted on your device.

📱 ON PHONE, TABLET AND FOLDABLE
On tablets, unfolded foldables and Chromebooks you work with a sidebar and the book page side by side, landscape included.
