Bookyhe

Your library, in order

Do you know how many books you own, where they are and who borrowed them?

Bookyhe is the catalogue of your home library. Add books by ISBN, give each one its shelf and keep track of reading, loans and wishes. On your phone and your computer.

Free up to 100 books. No credit card needed.

Why it helps

Three questions, answered in seconds

Do I already own it?

Search by title, author or ISBN while you are in the bookshop: you know right away whether that book is already at home and how many copies you have.

Where did it go?

Every book has its location. You find it without emptying the shelves, even after a move.

Who did I lend it to?

Record the loan with the borrower's name and find it in a dedicated list until it comes back.

How it works

From the first book to the whole library

Catalogue

Add a book in a few seconds

Scan the barcode with your camera, upload a photo of the code or type the ISBN: the details fill in by themselves. You can always complete or correct them by hand.

  • Copies, price, pages, genre and notes

Frequently asked questions

Before you start

Does Bookyhe work on a phone?

Yes. You use it in the browser on your phone and your computer, with nothing to install. The ISBN scanner uses the camera when the browser allows it; otherwise you can upload a photo of the barcode or type the ISBN.

How much does it cost?

The Start plan is free up to 100 books and shows a few sponsored suggestions. Paid plans start at 7.90 EUR per month.

How do I pay and how do I cancel?

Paid plans are requested from the Shop in the app and activated on your account.

What happens to my books if I go back to the free plan?

They all stay and you can always browse and edit them. On the free plan, beyond 100 books you cannot add more until you switch to a paid plan again.

Can I import a list of books I already have?

With Soul you can upload text, CSV, JSON or Word files: the AI recognizes the titles and adds them to the location you choose. There is no direct connection with other cataloguing services yet.

Who can see my books?

Only you. Your library becomes visible to others only if you turn on sharing or invite someone to a family space.

I need help: who do I write to?

From the Support page. We reply by email, in Italian and English. Support
