LibraryIQ

Scan, catalog, and organize your personal book library with AI-powered lookup.

LibraryIQ is the smartest way to catalog, organize, and track your personal book library. Scan a barcode, snap a cover photo, or search by title — LibraryIQ finds your book's metadata from 16+ sources and adds it to your library in seconds.

Scan & add books instantly

Point your camera at any book's barcode to instantly look up its title, author, cover, description, page count, publisher, and more. No manual entry needed. LibraryIQ searches Google Books, Open Library, Hardcover, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and 10 other sources to find the most complete metadata for every book.

AI-powered cover recognition (AI Enhanced)

Can't find the barcode? Just take a photo of the book's cover. LibraryIQ uses AI to read the title and author from stylized fonts, artistic typography, and non-standard layouts that traditional OCR can't handle.

Smart genre classification (AI Enhanced)

Every book gets a specific, useful genre — not just "Fiction." LibraryIQ identifies subgenres like Contemporary Romance, Epic Fantasy, Psychological Thriller, Romantasy, Dark Romance, and 100+ others.

Organize with collections

Create custom collections to group your books however you want. Reorder collections and books within them. Smart Collections (AI Enhanced) automatically populate based on rules you define — like "all 5-star fantasy books" or "everything by this author."

Track your reading

Mark books as unread, reading, or read. Rate and review your books. Track reading progress with current page. View stats — books read this year, top authors, top genres, average rating, and more.

Multiple views

Switch between list and grid views. Adjust grid size from 2 to 5 columns. Sort by title, author, date added, rating, or status. Group by author, genre, series, status, or rating. Search across your entire library instantly.

Series detection (AI Enhanced)

LibraryIQ automatically detects when a book is part of a series and shows the series name and book number.

Cloud sync & shared libraries (LibraryIQ Pro)

Sync your library across multiple devices with cloud backup. Create a shared library and invite family or friends with a simple 6-character code. Everyone sees the same book catalog, but reading status, ratings, and collections stay private to each person.

Privacy first

Your book data stays on your device unless you choose to enable cloud sync. No ads. No tracking. No analytics. We never sell your data.

Export your data

Export your entire library as a CSV file anytime. Your data is yours.

Whether you have 10 books or 10,000, LibraryIQ helps you organize, discover, and enjoy your collection. Currently in closed alpha — email support if you want in.

Frequently asked

Does LibraryIQ work without internet?

Yes. Barcode scanning falls back to a local cache, manual entry, reading status, and your local library all work fully offline. Online connection is only needed for metadata lookups, AI-powered features, and cloud sync.

Do I need a subscription to use LibraryIQ?

No. The free tier covers barcode scanning, full metadata lookup from 16+ sources, manual collections, reading-status tracking, ratings, and statistics. Paid tiers unlock AI features and cloud sync.

What do the paid tiers cost?

AI Enhanced is $1.99/month or $14.99/year and adds AI subgenre classification, AI cover recognition, AI series detection, and smart-collection rules. LibraryIQ Pro is $4.99/month or $39.99/year and adds cloud sync across devices, shared libraries, and automatic cloud backups.

Can I share my library with family?

Yes, with LibraryIQ Pro. Create a shared library and invite people with a six-character code. Everyone sees the same catalog, but reading status, ratings, and personal collections stay private per person.

Where does my data live?

On your device by default. Cloud sync is optional and only active if you turn it on with a Pro subscription. The free and AI Enhanced tiers never send your library off your phone.

Can I export my library?

Yes — full CSV export anytime, no subscription required. Your data is yours.
