What is it?

BookLogr is a web app for managing a personal book library on your own server. You can look up books by title or ISBN using OpenLibrary data, or add books manually when they are not listed there. Each book can be placed in lists such as Reading, Already Read, To Be Read, and Did not finish.

Beyond cataloguing, it lets you track your current page in a book, rate books on a 0.5 to 5-star scale, and save short notes and quotes. Users can optionally publish a public profile of their library, and reading progress can be shared automatically to Mastodon.

Data can be exported as CSV, JSON, or HTML. The app uses SQLite by default and also supports PostgreSQL.
