Point your phone at any bookshelf and watch every book identify itself. Build a living library — searchable, sortable, and always in your pocket.
Be the first to know when BookBeacon launches.
BookBeacon is the reading companion that turns a photograph into a personal library. No barcodes. No manual entry. Just point and scan.
Point your camera at any bookshelf and every visible spine is identified in seconds — titles, authors, and covers pulled in automatically.
Filter by shelf status (Read, Reading, TBR), sort by rating or title, and search your entire collection instantly.
Keep your "want to buy" list separate from your "want to read" stack. Drag to reorder your TBR however you like.
Beautiful charts show your reading progress — how much you've read, what you own, and how your ratings stack up.
A warm, cozy dark theme for late-night reading sessions. Your eyes will thank you.
Already tracking on Goodreads? Import your CSV export and your entire reading history arrives instantly.
Tap the camera button and point your phone at any bookshelf, nightstand stack, or box of books. No special lighting needed.
Every visible spine is read and matched against millions of titles — covers, descriptions, and metadata appear in seconds.
Review detected books, mark which you own, rate the ones you've read, and add them to your TBR. Your library grows with every scan.
"I scanned my entire home library in 20 minutes. It identified every book perfectly — including some really obscure ones. Absolutely love it."
"The Goodreads import was seamless. All my years of tracking transferred over instantly. The UI is so much more enjoyable to use day-to-day."
"Finally an app that gets it right. The scanning is fast, the library view is beautiful, and dark mode is *chef's kiss*. My TBR list has never been so organized."
BookBeacon is almost ready. Drop your email and we'll notify you the moment it launches on iOS and Android.
