Everything you need to track a reading life

A practical book tracker for organizing your library, following your reading, and finding the right book fast.

Tracking

Track books by status

Keep reading, finished, and wishlist books organized with shelves that make sense at a glance.

Clarity

Reading progress and notes

Track pages, save notes and quotes, and pick up where you left off without friction.

Search

Smart search & filters

Find books by title, author, shelf, or status so your library stays easy to manage as it grows.

Insights

Reading stats & insights

Review totals, pace, and trends to understand how your reading life changes over time.

Scanning

Fast add flow

Use ISBN lookup, barcode scanning, and manual entry to add books without spreadsheet cleanup later.

Privacy

Privacy-first by default

Your library stays yours with exports, clear privacy controls, and no ads or data selling.

Ownership

Export anytime

Take your data with you whenever you want. Lock-in should not be part of a reading app.

How it works

Three steps to a personal library you can actually keep up to date.

  1. Step 1
    Sign up & create shelves

    Start with clear defaults like Want to Read, Reading, and Finished, then adapt them to your workflow.

  2. Step 2
    Add books (manual or scan)

    Use search, ISBN lookup, and quick-add flows to build your library without tedious cleanup.

  3. Step 3
    Track progress & insights

    Log progress, notes, and quotes, then review stats that help you understand your reading habits.

See what you’ll get

A clean dashboard, useful book details, and enough structure to keep your reading life organized.

  • Library view with statuses (Reading / Finished / Wishlist)
  • Fast search + filters (author, shelf, status)
  • Insights such as yearly totals, pace, and reading trends
  • Book details, notes, quotes, and loan tracking where they are most useful

Built for readers who want less noise

The value is straightforward: stay organized, remember more, and keep control of your library data.

Know what you own

Keep your library searchable by title, author, shelf, and reading status instead of losing track across notes and spreadsheets.

Know what to read next

Separate what you want to read from what you are actively reading so your next pick stays obvious.

Keep your data portable

Exports and privacy controls make the app a long-term home for your library instead of a dead end.

Always Free. No Catch.

MyBookShelf is free to use. We believe your personal library should stay personal, portable, and easy to maintain.
