About BookHoard

BookHoard catalogs the books you own, and now it reads them too. A READER FOR BOOKS NO ONE CAN TAKE BACK Import the DRM-free EPUBs you already bought, one file or a whole folder, and read them right here. Your type size, your place, kept across every device you own. The files stay on your device; we never upload your books. Or open The Trove: hundreds of public-domain classics, free to read and yours to keep. No account wall, no borrowing queue, no expiry. Kindle and Audible files will not open. Not our choice, and not something we can engineer around. Those files are locked to Amazon's apps by design. A book you cannot move is a book you are renting. THE BANNED TAB Search a live index of 20,000+ challenged U.S. books. See how many of them are already on your own shelves, which states pulled them, and which school districts filed it. Share the count. CATALOG AT THE SPEED YOU COLLECT Scan a barcode. Done. It's in your library in seconds. Want to add a whole shelf at once? Photograph it. BookHoard reads the spines and adds every book. Built for readers who already own too many books and finally want to start owning them on purpose. ALSO IN YOUR HOARD • Duplicate detection so you don't buy the same book twice • Separate Want to Read + Wishlist + custom lists — keep them intentional • Lending tracker — know who has your copy of Beloved (it's Sarah; you lent it in October) • Series — how many books you own in a series, and exactly which volumes are still missing • Hoard Value — estimate your collection against real list prices, set your own value on the rare and signed ones, and export a PDF inventory for insurance • Mood-based picks drawn from your actual library • Nearest bookstores and libraries + Little Free Library finder • CSV import — bring your existing library along • Generate personalized Bookplates Four themes; Hoard, Prism, Dark Academia and Nocturne, and a shelf view that stands your books as spines, the way they sit at home.

What’s new

Version 1.4.1 · Updated October 7, 2026

Guarded closer than ever. This update is about your reading. Private, steady, and yours. • What you read stays private. A book can no longer reach the internet while you read it. Some ebook files hide images or fonts that report when and where they were opened; BookHoard now blocks them. • Choose your page. Read on white, sepia, grey or black, in books and PDFs alike. Highlights stay clear on every one. • The last page is the end. Books finish at 100%, and your place is kept exactly — even if you close a book with the controls showing. • PDFs, read like books. Swipe to turn the page, bookmark the one you're on, and jump through a PDF's own contents. • Quote the copy on your shelf. Make a quote card from any book in the hoard — paperbacks and hardbacks too. • Imported books, easy to bring back. After a reinstall or a new phone, the Library shows which imports are missing and where they came from. Import them again and each returns to its book, with your place, highlights and notes. Also: • Clearer messages when signing in doesn't work, with a way forward. • VoiceOver can read the book itself, and reach the sliders, ratings and reading menus. • Softer text on the black and grey pages. • Books reopen straight to your place, without a flash of page one. • On iPad, swiping back a page no longer closes the book. • Signing out on one device no longer signs you out of the others. • If a search can't reach the catalog, it says so and offers to try again.
