Personal library management for readers
Track Your Books in a Calm, Private Personal Library
MyBookShelf is a book tracker and home library organizer for shelves, reading progress, notes, goals, and exports.
Built for readers who want clarity, ownership, and a reading app that stays out of the way.
Track progress, save notes, and keep your next read obvious without spreadsheet cleanup.
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.
Track books by status
Keep reading, finished, and wishlist books organized with shelves that make sense at a glance.
Reading progress and notes
Track pages, save notes and quotes, and pick up where you left off without friction.
Smart search & filters
Find books by title, author, shelf, or status so your library stays easy to manage as it grows.
Reading stats & insights
Review totals, pace, and trends to understand how your reading life changes over time.
Fast add flow
Use ISBN lookup, barcode scanning, and manual entry to add books without spreadsheet cleanup later.
Privacy-first by default
Your library stays yours with exports, clear privacy controls, and no ads or data selling.
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.
- Step 1Sign up & create shelves
Start with clear defaults like Want to Read, Reading, and Finished, then adapt them to your workflow.
- Step 2Add books (manual or scan)
Use search, ISBN lookup, and quick-add flows to build your library without tedious cleanup.
- Step 3Track progress & insights
Log progress, notes, and quotes, then review stats that help you understand your reading habits.

Built for readers who want less noise
The value is straightforward: stay organized, remember more, and keep control of your library data.
Keep your library searchable by title, author, shelf, and reading status instead of losing track across notes and spreadsheets.
Separate what you want to read from what you are actively reading so your next pick stays obvious.
Exports and privacy controls make the app a long-term home for your library instead of a dead end.
