Everything a reader needs. Nothing they don't.

📷

Instant Book Scanning

Point your camera at any book's barcode and Bookbuddy fetches the title, author, cover, and details automatically. No typing required.

🎙️

Voice-Enabled Progress

Update your reading progress hands-free. Just say "page 150" and Bookbuddy records it — perfect for when you don't want to put the book down.

🗣️

Siri Shortcuts

Save your page, update progress, or record a voice note without opening the app — from your Lock Screen, Apple Watch, or anywhere Siri lives.

📝

Capture & Markup

Scan favorite pages with automatic edge detection, then annotate with Apple Pencil or your finger. Everything stays connected to the right book.

🔍

Find Anything

Search your whole library by title or author and track every book by status — To Read, Reading, Completed — with visual progress bars.

🔒

Private by Design

Everything is stored on your device. No account, no cloud, no tracking. Your reading habits are nobody's business but yours.

Designed dark. Built for readers.

Your data stays yours. Bookbuddy collects nothing and tracks nothing. Book details come from free, public sources — Open Library, Google Books, openBD, and Crossref — and your library never leaves your device.
