Cozy Reading Companion
Bookielist
Your personal library manager: calm, clear, and free from distractions.
Keep track of your physical books and your reading list. Bookielist is a collection manager, not an e-reader, and lets you try up to 10 books for free before unlocking the full version in the app. Currently available for Android only, not for iOS. No forced account. No tracking. No subscription trap.
Features
What Bookielist helps you manage
Online Search
Load metadata from the cloud, Google Books, or Open Library when no barcode is available.
Manual Entry
Enter ISBN, title, author, and cover manually, then enrich the record later if needed.
Reading Status
Track unread, started, finished, or stopped separately for owned books and wishlist items.
Owned & Wishlist
Keep your actual collection separate from your wishlist while still managing everything in one app.
Series Support
Bookielist recognizes book series automatically, shows volume numbers, and gives you a quick series view.
Custom Cover Photos
If no online cover is available, you can use your own photo as a cover. Those images stay exclusively on your device.
Community Cache
Anonymous book metadata and optionally shared series details help deliver faster matches for the community.
Mood Modes
Choose from multiple mood modes to match the atmosphere of your current reading phase.
Backup & Restore
Export your library as JSON and restore it in a controlled way on a new device.
Why Bookielist
What makes Bookielist different
Bookielist is meant to feel like a personal shelf manager for your physical books, not like a service that wants to become your reader, your profile, or your subscription.
No e-reader, no platform lock-in
Bookielist is not trying to replace your reading device. It is built to organize, surface, and manage your shelf instead of pushing you into a closed reading ecosystem.
Your library stays with you
Your collection, reading status, custom cover photos, and backups stay under your control on the device instead of being tied to a user account or mandatory cloud service.
Privacy-minded instead of profile-driven
No in-app tracking, no profiling, and no ad IDs. To improve matches, Bookielist only shares general book metadata and optional series details, never personal reading data.
Monetization
Try it free, unlock it once later
You can store up to 10 books for free and test all core features. Once your trial shelf is full, the full version can be unlocked directly in the app: one-time, no subscription, no ads, and no hidden follow-up costs.
Flow
How Bookielist feels in everyday use
- Open the scanner or find a book manually through online search.
- Add the book with its metadata, place it in your collection or wishlist, and set a custom cover photo if needed.
- Track reading status, keep series in view, and tidy your shelf with filters and sorting.
- Use the backup feature so your library stays with you when changing devices.
