MiniLib: Book Tracker

MiniLib: Simple Book Tracker & Reading Journal

MiniLib is a focused reading tracker for people who prefer simplicity. Instead of page counters and social feeds, it gives you four clear shelves—To Read, Reading, Paused, and Finished—plus smart tags and collections so your library stays organized without extra effort.

Core Features

• Search the Open Library catalogue by title, author or ISBN—and import details with one tap

• Lightning-fast ISBN barcode scanner to add books in seconds

• Add short Book Notes to capture ideas, quotes or reminders while you read

• Tags: choose from thoughtfully designed tags (each with its own color and icon) or create your own—organize once, find books instantly

• Smart Collections: rule-based or manual lists (e.g. Recently Added, Finished This Year, Fantasy Favorites) that update automatically in the background

• Custom book covers: upload your own images for a personalized library

• Reading history: track multiple reads of the same book with detailed dates

• Share any book via the standard Share Sheet—message, email or post it anywhere

• Export your entire library as a CSV file for backups or spreadsheets

Why choose MiniLib

MiniLib keeps the essentials at hand—track what you plan to read, what you're reading now, what you've paused, and what you've finished—while adding powerful organization tools you actually need. Colorful tags let you sort however you think about your library; smart collections do the heavy lifting so you never lose track of your reading goals. The result is an app that opens instantly and stays out of your way, leaving more time for the books themselves.
