Organize books on custom shelves. Add by search, ISBN barcode scan, or manually.
Reading sessions & timer
Start a reading session, track time with the built-in timer, and log pages read.
Stats & insights

Quotes
Save your favorite passages. Use on-device Apple Vision text capture to grab quotes from the page.
Streaks & goals

Private by design
Booklore has no account and no login. Your library — every book, rating, note and reading session — lives on your device, and we operate no server that could hold a copy of it. Your reading is never sold and is never used to build a profile of you. The only network requests are to look up book metadata (Open Library, with Google Books as a fallback), to download cover art — which you can turn off in Settings — and the optional iCloud backup you start yourself, which goes to your own Apple account.
