About Home Library Companion
Home Library Companion is the first home library app that lets you find the knowledge inside your own book collection, and the first that reliably loads a whole shelf at a time instead of one book at a time. When you do need to load one book, the same vision engine reads a copyright page, a cover, or a barcode. We set out to disrupt home library organization with the latest technology, and we have. Then it remembers where everything lives. Every book gets a real address — building, room, bookcase, shelf — so “do we own this?” and “where did it go?” both take seconds. YOUR FIRST 100 BOOKS ARE FREE Catalog 100 books per library before you pay anything. No time limit, nothing to cancel. Household sharing, syncing, and the web library are all part of the free tier. Signing in is required — your library is stored on our server, so it syncs to your other devices and can be shared. If your collection is bigger than 100 books, $39.99/year raises the cap to 1,000 books per library and turns on Ask. One subscription covers everyone in a shared library. ASK YOUR OWN LIBRARY Ask in plain English — “which of my books cover rose care?” — and get answers drawn only from books you actually own. Ask requires the subscription. ONE LIBRARY FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Invite your household with a QR code or invite code. Everyone sees the same catalog, in sync, on their phones and iPads, and on the web at homelibrarycompanion.com/app. BUILT FOR REAL COLLECTIONS • Whole-shelf photo scanning, plus barcode, copyright-page, and cover ID • Locations: building → room → bookcase → shelf • Topic index; group by author, topic, or location • First 100 books free; up to 1,000 books per library with the subscription • iPhone and iPad. English plus 12 more languages. No ads, no third-party analytics, and your data is never sold. SUBSCRIPTION Home Library Companion Annual, $39.99 per year. It raises the limit from 100 to 1,000 books per library and unlocks Ask. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and it renews automatically at $39.99/year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Cataloging up to 100 books stays free. Privacy: https://homelibrarycompanion.com/privacy Terms: https://homelibrarycompanion.com/terms
What’s new
Version 1.4.0 · Updated September 26, 2026
A wishlist for everyone in your library. Add a book by barcode, by title, or from the book that mentioned it. Keep your list somewhere else? Take screenshots of it and import them. Nothing stays connected. When you buy one, tap Got it and pick its shelf. Or just scan it in, and it comes off the list. Bookstore Companion shows the same list in the store, and tells you when you already own a book. Once a week, one book from your own shelves, if you want it. Your books show up in iPhone search, and Siri can tell you whether you own one and where it is. A shelf photo that goes past your free 100 books keeps the rest waiting instead of dropping them. Your first 100 books are free.
