Shelf scanner & banned index
New: read them here. Three hundred public-domain classics, free, plus the DRM-free EPUBs you already own. Books nobody can delete off your shelf. Your place syncs.
BookHoard catalogs the books you own — and now it reads them too.
A READER FOR BOOKS NOBODY CAN TAKE BACK
Import the DRM-free EPUBs you already bought, one file or a whole folder, and read them right here. Your type size, your margins, your place kept — across every device you own. The files stay on your device; we never upload your books.
Or open The Trove: hundreds of public-domain classics, free to read and yours to keep. No account wall, no borrowing queue, no expiry.
Kindle and Audible files will not open. Not our choice, and not something we can engineer around — those files are locked to Amazon's apps by design. A book you cannot move is a book you are renting.
THE BANNED TAB
Search a live index of 20,000+ challenged U.S. books. See how many of them are already on your own shelves, which states pulled them, and which school districts filed it. Share the count.
CATALOG AT THE SPEED YOU COLLECT
Scan a barcode. Done. It's in your library in seconds. Want to add a whole shelf at once? Photograph it. BookHoard reads the spines and adds every book.
Built for readers who already own too many books and finally want to start owning them on purpose.
ALSO IN YOUR HOARD
• Duplicate detection so you don't buy the same book twice
• Separate Want to Read + Wishlist + custom lists — keep them intentional
• Lending tracker — know who has your copy of Beloved (it's Sarah; you lent it in October)
• Series — how many books you own in a series, and exactly which volumes are still missing
• Hoard Value — estimate your collection against real list prices, set your own value on the rare and signed ones, and export a PDF inventory for insurance
• Mood-based picks drawn from your actual library
• Nearest bookstores and libraries + Little Free Library finder
• CSV import — bring your existing library along
Four themes — Hoard, Prism, Dark Academia and Nocturne — and a shelf view that stands your books as spines, the way they sit at home. Photograph your own covers for the book club editions and battered paperbacks no database has heard of.
YOUR LIBRARY IS YOURS
We don't sell your data. We don't share what you read. No advertiser tracking, no algorithmic feed, no profile we make shareable by default. Your books used to live on your shelves. We think the digital version should feel the same.
