One scan, a complete record
Scan the barcode: the BnF, Open Library and Google Books provide the title, authors, publisher, year, page count and cover. A list of ISBNs can even be pasted from a spreadsheet.
Native application for iPhone, iPad and Mac
Legenda
Your whole library.
Finally catalogued.
Scan a barcode: the book’s record fills itself in. Readings, loans, value, wishlist and notes follow — no account, no ads, and almost everything works offline.

Your books, from the shelf
Features
Your books, from the shelf
to the complete record.
“At the bookshop” mode
Standing at the shelf, scan: Legenda answers “already owned”, “owned in another edition”, “on your wishlist” or “new”. No more duplicates bought by mistake.
Organised like your home
Hierarchical locations — Living room › Bookcase › Shelf 3 —, virtual shelves, tags and genres. Several thousand books stay browsable at a glance.
Series under control
Each series shows the volumes you own and the ones still missing, so you can complete your collections without keeping a spreadsheet.
Reading tracking
To read, reading, read, abandoned, with dates and rereads. Quotes with page and photo, half-star ratings, personal review.
Goals and statistics
A yearly goal in books, pages or reading time, and charts that tell the story of your reading year.
Loans and borrowings
To whom, since when, expected return, automatic reminder and history — for the books you lend as well as those borrowed from a friend or a library.
Collection value
First editions, signed copies, condition, dated value history with supporting documents, and a PDF inventory export for your insurance.
Wishlist and gift ideas
A wish can target a work or a specific edition, with priority, maximum price and a “gift idea” flag. The list is shareable in one gesture.
Formatted notes
Headings, bold, lists, checkboxes, quotes: a real note attached to each book, exportable as Markdown, PDF, RTF or plain text.
Made for the household
One library, several readers: each keeps their own readings, goals and wishes.
Backups and trash
A full copy every day and before any irreversible operation, a thirty-day trash, JSON or CSV export. Your books don’t get lost.
