Octavo: my home library

You're in a bookshop. This novel looks good. Do you already own it?

Octavo answers in a second. Scan the barcode on the back: the book fills itself in, files itself away, and if it's already on your shelves, the app tells you before you reach for your card.

FAST AND SIMPLE, THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT

An eight-year-old should be able to scan a book and find it again on their own. That was the only rule we set ourselves, and it decided everything else.

• Burst scanning — go through a whole stack with nothing to confirm. Twenty books shelved in under two minutes. • Automatic filing — shelf, author and genre are worked out for you. No typing. • Instant search — one bar that searches titles, authors, shelves and series. It forgives typos. • Works entirely offline — on the underground, on a plane, in a basement. Your books live on your phone, not on a server.

WHAT YOU'VE READ STAYS YOURS

Sold, given away, lent and never returned: the book leaves, its story stays. Reading dates, rating, review — all kept in your past readings. That's the heart of Octavo, and what sets it apart from a plain inventory.

Every book carries a stamped lending card, like the one glued inside a library book: one line per reading, with its dates and its rating.

WHAT YOU'RE MISSING

Note the books you want. The day you scan one, it leaves the list on its own and joins your shelves. Nothing to tick, nothing to archive.

YOUR NOTES ARE PRIVATE

No feed, no followers, no comments. Your reviews are yours. Octavo has no social layer, shows no ads, and sells no data.

FREE • Up to 75 books • Unlimited scanning, search, statuses, rating, review, photo

PREMIUM • Unlimited books • Statistics and a yearly reading review • Export your library • Coming soon: family profiles, lending with reminders, missing volumes, resale assistant

Books you've already shelved stay readable whatever happens. You are never locked out of browsing.

BUILT IN FRANCE, FOR FRENCH-LANGUAGE READERS

Book data comes first from the catalogue of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, topped up with Google Books and Open Library. That's what gives accurate titles, publishers and imprints for French publishing — where most apps fall back on an English-language database alone.
