Scan a whole shelf in seconds — every spine identifies itself, not one book at a time. Tap once to mark anything Read, Reading, or TBR. No busywork, no typing, just an always-up-to-date library.
Be the first to know when HarborLit launches.
HarborLit is the simplest way to track what you read. Turn a photo into a full library, then update any book's status in one tap. No barcodes, no manual typing, no busywork.
Point your camera at a shelf, a pile, or a single cover — every book is identified in seconds, with titles, authors, and covers pulled in automatically.
Tap once to move any book between TBR, Reading, and Read — no menus, no forms. Filter, 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.
Tag books your way, jot private notes on any title, and organize your shelf into custom lists — Book Club, Beach Reads, whatever fits.
Browse what's popular right now by genre, see what other readers are adding, and add anything you like straight to your own shelf.
HarborLit knows where every book falls in its series. Tap a series tag on any book to see the whole lineup grouped and sorted in reading order — what you already own, what's next, and add the rest straight from the list.
From soft blush to midnight navy, pick the look that matches your library — or your mood. Every theme carries through the whole app, light or dark.
Photograph a highlighted passage, an underlined line, or a handwritten note in the margin — HarborLit reads it for you, no retyping. Every word becomes instantly searchable across your whole library, so the line you loved is never more than a search away.
Right from the book detail screen — a highlighted page, a margin note, whatever you want to remember about that book.
HarborLit transcribes highlighted, underlined, and handwritten text on its own — nothing to type, ever.
Search your library by what you wrote or highlighted, not just title and author — find the book, and the exact passage.
No steep learning curve, no cluttered menus — just the fastest path from "pile of books" to "organized library."
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, tap to mark which you own, rate what you've read, and add the rest to your TBR — one tap per book, nothing to type. Your library grows with every scan.
