BookItUp

BookItUp is a personal library manager for people who love books — and who believe their reading life is nobody else's business.

Unlike Goodreads, which is owned by Amazon and monetises your reading data, BookItUp contains no ads, no tracking, and no third-party data collection whatsoever. Verified clean by The Markup's Blacklight privacy scanner. Your books, your data, full stop.

Scan & Add in Seconds Point your phone camera at any book's barcode and BookItUp pulls in the title, author, cover, and details automatically. No typing, no searching. The fastest way to catalogue a physical book collection.

Never Buy a Duplicate Again Standing in a bookshop and not sure if you already own it? Scan the barcode and BookItUp tells you instantly whether it's already in your library.

Organise Your Collection Your Way Create custom collections organised however makes sense to you — by genre, mood, reading status, or anything else. Track whether a book is on your wishlist, currently being read, or finished.

Rate, Review & Remember Add personal ratings and written reviews to any book so you always remember how it made you feel. Build a reading journal that's entirely your own.

Set & Track Reading Goals Set a reading target for the year and track your progress as you go. Celebrate milestones and keep your reading habit on track.

Share With Friends & Family Connect with friends to browse each other's libraries and discover what people you trust are reading. Create a household to share your collection with family members.

Genuinely Free — No Credit Card Required Free for up to 100 books with no trial period, no expiry, and no credit card needed. The free tier includes everything — barcode scanning, reading goals, ratings and reviews, custom collections, and family sharing.

BookItUp is actively in development and user feedback directly shapes every new feature. It's a great time to join and help build something better than what's out there.
