BranchOut
A home library, with a circulation desk.
A quiet place to keep a catalog of the books you own, a record of the ones you’ve read, and an easy way to lend them to friends.
Scan a book's spine and it settles onto your shelf, with its cover and edition already filled in. If you already keep a list, you can bring the whole thing in at once.
Keep track of what you're reading and what you've finished, with ratings and reviews — right down to the translation you actually read.
When a friend borrows a book, you set the due date and BranchOut remembers who has what, so your books find their way home.
