Spot a whole list at once
Add every book you're after and scan the shelf once — matches are boxed as you pan across the spines.
Color-coded confidence
Green when everything you're searching for lines up. Blue when the title matches but the author isn't printed on the spine. Yellow for a close read, or when an author you're hunting turns up.
Spot the author, find the shelf
See an author you're collecting but not the title you want? Book Spotter flags them anyway and lists which of their books you're still after — so you know exactly what to look for.
Real book records
Track author, notes, and the condition you're after. Mark books purchased or keep them searching.
Look up as you type
Check a title against a public book database to fill in the author and fix spelling before you hit the shelves.
Scan from a photo
Already snapped a shelf? Run Book Spotter over a photo from your library to find your books in it.
Works offline, on your device
Scanning needs no signal at all — recognition and matching happen entirely on your phone, so it works in a basement bookshop or a rural thrift store. A connection is only needed to look up a title, back up your list, or manage a subscription.
Private by design
Text recognition runs on your device using Apple's built-in Vision. Your camera frames aren't uploaded or stored.
Manage your list on a computer
Sign in to your book list to add and edit in bulk with a real keyboard — and download or upload your whole list as a CSV.
