Home Library Companion

Your first 100 books are free. Point it at a shelf and it reads every spine, then remembers exactly which shelf each book came from.

Point the camera at a full shelf. Home Library Companion reads the spines and catalogs every book — a 40-book shelf takes about a minute. Barcode, copyright-page, and cover scanning are there too, plus plain search, but the shelf photo is the fast way in.

Then it remembers where everything lives. Every book gets a real address — building, room, bookcase, shelf — so “do we own this?” and “where did it go?” both take seconds.

YOUR FIRST 100 BOOKS ARE FREE Catalog 100 books per library before you pay anything. No time limit, nothing to cancel. Household sharing, syncing, and the web library are all part of the free tier. Signing in is required — your library is stored on our server, so it syncs to your other devices and can be shared. If your collection is bigger than 100 books, $39.99/year raises the cap to 1,000 books per library and turns on Ask. One subscription covers everyone in a shared library.

ASK YOUR OWN LIBRARY Ask in plain English — “which of my books cover rose care?” — and get answers drawn only from books you actually own. No internet recommendations, no invented titles. Ask requires the subscription.

ONE LIBRARY FOR THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD Invite your household with a QR code or invite code. Everyone sees the same catalog, in sync, on their phones and iPads, and on the web at homelibrarycompanion.com/app.
