BookHoard
Know what you own. Find what you're missing. See what they banned.
Catalog your physical and digital library in one place. Scan barcodes and entire bookshelves with your camera, discover your next read with recommendations tuned to your taste, and find independent bookstores near you. Then read the DRM-free ebooks you already own, or one of hundreds of free classics, without leaving the app.
A look inside
Five screens from the app as it is today. Nothing here is a mockup.
Your whole hoard
Every book you own in one place — physical, digital, and audio — sorted however you think about them.
Something to read next
Suggestions drawn from the shelves you already have, not from whatever happens to be trending.
More than 20,000 titles someone tried to remove
A live index of books challenged or pulled across the United States, and a count of how many are already yours. The exact figure, today, is at bannedindex.org/live.
Read them here
The DRM-free EPUBs you already own and hundreds of public-domain classics. Your type, your light, your place kept.
Want to read, wishlist, on loan
Three lists answering three different questions. Share any of them with whoever keeps asking.
Everything for book lovers
Your complete library
Track physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks in one beautiful catalog. Add ratings, notes, tags, and reading status.
Scan barcodes & shelves
Add books instantly by scanning a barcode. Hoard+ members can also photograph an entire bookshelf to import multiple titles at once.
Read what you already own
Bring the DRM-free EPUBs you bought, one file or a whole folder, and read them here. They stay on your device, they open without a signal, and nobody can take them back.
The Trove
Hundreds of public-domain classics, free to read. No account wall, no borrowing queue, no expiry — and it names which ones somebody once tried to ban.
Recommendations for you
Get reading suggestions based on your taste — genres you love, ratings you've given, and patterns in your library.
Find indie bookstores
Discover independent bookstores near you. Support local booksellers wherever you are in the world.
See what they banned
Search a live index of 20,000+ books challenged or removed across the United States — and find out how many of them are already on your own shelves.
Complete your series
See how many books you own in a series and exactly which volumes are missing. BookHoard can sort your whole library into its sets in one pass.
Know what it’s worth
Estimate your collection against real list prices, set your own value on the rare and signed ones, and export a PDF inventory for insurance.
Never buy it twice
BookHoard warns you before you buy something you already own — even a different edition — while you’re still standing in the shop.
Remember who borrowed it
Track what you’ve lent and to whom, with optional return reminders. “Who has my copy of Beloved” becomes a question with an answer.
Bring your library with you
Import from Goodreads or a CSV, and export your whole catalog as CSV or JSON whenever you like. It’s your data — you can take it out again.
Private by design
No ads, no trackers, no algorithmic feed, and nothing public unless you choose it. Your shelves were always your business.
