How it works in the app
The feature is connected to the rest of your library, so every scan, note, shelf, and reading update stays useful later.
- 1
Built for real bookshelves
Most home library apps assume you'll type in every title. Librisync uses AI to recognize whole shelves at once, then matches each spine against Google Books and Open Library so titles, authors, covers, and page counts arrive already filled in.
- 2
Organize the way you read
Create shelves like 'To read this winter', 'Loaned to Mom', or 'Signed copies'. Tag by genre, mood, or project. Sort, filter, and search across thousands of books in milliseconds.

Works in 5 languages
Librisync is fully localized in English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian — including book metadata in your reading language whenever it's available.
Private by default, useful when shared
Your library starts private. Share public shelves only when you choose, keep personal notes to yourself, and use Librisync across devices without turning your reading life into a social feed.
- Private personal library
- Optional public sharing
- Works on phone and desktop
Connected to the whole library
Each feature works best with the others: scan books, organize them, track your reading, and come back to the right title whenever you need it.
