BookLogr

BookLogr is a lightweight web application for managing a personal book library. It provides tools to catalog books, track reading progress, record ratings and notes, and optionally publish a public profile of your collection.

Key Features

• Search millions of titles using OpenLibrary metadata for fast book lookup by title or ISBN
• Organize books into predefined lists: Reading, Already Read, and To Be Read
• Track current page and reading progress for individual books
• Rate books on a 0.5 to 5-star scale and save short notes and quotes
• Optional public profile to showcase your library and share reading activity
• Automatic sharing of reading progress to Mastodon
• Export your library and data in CSV, JSON, and HTML formats
• Supports SQLite (default) and PostgreSQL as database backends; includes Docker and docker-compose deployment support

Use Cases

• Maintain a private catalog of owned, read, and planned books with progress tracking
• Share a curated public reading list or personal library with friends and followers
• Export or back up reading history and notes for migration or analysis

Limitations and Considerations

• The project is under active development; users may encounter bugs or breaking changes between releases
• Feature set is focused on personal/single-user library management and may lack advanced multi-tenant or enterprise features

BookLogr is suitable for individuals who want a simple, private way to track and share their reading. It emphasizes simplicity, OpenLibrary integration for metadata, and straightforward deployment options.
