Booklgy turns your shelf into a searchable library you carry everywhere. Scan a barcode at the bookstore, share with your household, and stop re-buying titles that are already on your nightstand — or worse, gifting someone a book they already have.
Six features that turn a shelf-full into a system. No subscriptions, no nonsense.
Point your phone at the barcode. Booklgy looks up title, author, cover, and a short summary — so you can decide whether to add it (or buy it) without leaving the camera screen.
Invite your partner, roommate, or whole family. Everyone sees the same library, in real time.
Standing in the bookstore picking something out for a friend or family member? Pull up their household library in seconds. Never gift a book they already own.
No barcode? No problem. Search by ISBN or by author and title — perfect for vintage, secondhand, and pre-1970 books that never had a barcode in the first place.
Author A–Z, by genre, by series, by owner, by read status. Find any book in seconds — even when your shelf has hundreds.
Export your full library to CSV. Back up the database. Take it with you whenever you want — no lock-in.
Get your whole shelf in your pocket in an afternoon.
Open the camera, aim at each book's barcode, and Booklgy does the rest. About 10 seconds per book once you find a rhythm.
Generate an invite code in Settings. Anyone who joins sees the same library and can add their own books to it.
At the bookstore — whether you're shopping for yourself or for someone in your household — search by author, title, ISBN, or LOC number. The little gold dot tells you what's already on the shelf.
Booklgy is built for households that actually live with their books — couples merging libraries, families with overlapping taste, anyone whose to-read pile has gotten away from them. And it's just as handy when you're shopping for someone else: pull up their library before you check out, and gift with confidence.
Every screen is built around the moment that actually matters: standing in a bookstore wondering if you already own this one.
Yes — Booklgy is free to download, and the free plan lets one person catalogue up to 50 books with scanning, search, and summaries. Booklgy Home is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited books and household sharing for up to 6 members.
One person creates the household and generates an invite code. Anyone with the code joins the same shared library — books, owners, and read status all sync between devices.
Booklgy gives you two manual lookup options for any book that doesn't scan: type the ISBN by hand, or search by author name and title. Ideal for older editions, secondhand finds, and any book published before barcodes became standard (roughly pre-1970).
That's one of the best reasons to use it. Invite the person you shop for to your household — or just keep a "wishlist & owned" view of their library. Next time you're at the bookstore picking out a gift, search their name and see what they already have before you buy.
Yes. Settings → Data → Export CSV gives you a clean spreadsheet. You can also back up the entire database. Your books, your data, no lock-in.
