Everything you need to know

Yes โ€” free forever, no credit card required. The free plan supports 100 books, 10 active loans, 20 friends, and weekly AI recommendations.

Open the scanner on your phone, point at the barcode on the back cover. The ISBN is read instantly via the browser's camera API, then we fetch the complete book metadata โ€” cover art, synopsis, genres, publisher, and more.

Absolutely. Record a loan to anyone by name and email โ€” they don't need an account. You track the return date and get reminded when it's overdue.

We analyse your library, reading history, and ratings using OpenAI GPT to generate recommendations personalised to your taste. Your data is never shared or used to train AI models.

Yes โ€” Pro and Premium plans support bulk import from CSV. You can export your entire library at any time on all plans.

You keep Pro or Premium features until the end of your billing period, then drop to Free limits. Your data is never deleted.
