Bookary turns your bookshelf into a searchable smart library. Simply scan a book's barcode to instantly add it to your collection and check whether you already own it. Designed for readers, collectors, students, and home libraries, Bookary helps organize books, prevent duplicate purchases, and manage growing collections with a fast, privacy-focused experience. AI bookshelf scanning, lending tracking, and cloud sync are coming soon.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm excited to introduce Bookary. The idea came from a simple frustration: standing in a bookstore and trying to remember whether I already owned a particular book. As my collection grew, I found myself buying duplicates, forgetting what was on my shelves, and relying on notes and spreadsheets that quickly became outdated. So I built Bookary — a simple app that lets you scan books and instantly build a searchable personal library. Current features: 📚 Barcode book scanning 🔍 Search by title, author, or ISBN 🚫 Duplicate book detection 📊 Library statistics 🔒 Privacy-focused local storage What we're building next: ✨ AI bookshelf scanning ☁️ Cloud backup & sync 🤝 Lending tracker 📈 Advanced collection analytics I'd love your feedback: • How do you currently manage your book collection? • What feature would make Bookary a must-have app for you? Thanks for checking it out, and I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

We built Bookary to solve duplicate book buying and library tracking. What’s the biggest pain you face managing your books today?
