No account. No tracking. No servers of our own.
No analytics service, no ad network, no third-party components in the app.
Your library lives on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud — which we cannot see into. And you can leave whenever you like: export as CSV or PDF.
- No account, no sign-upNo email address, no password, nothing to create — and neither ads nor analytics in the app.
- iPhone and iPad, always in syncThrough Apple’s CloudKit in your private iCloud. You can turn the sync off in iOS Settings.
- Only the ISBN leaves your deviceWhen looking up book data, with no user identifier attached. Everything else works offline, too.
Today

- The Today tab greets you with a daily page: your yearly goal, the book you’re currently reading and your upcoming dates.
- A new, curated quote of the day — in a card design that changes daily.
- Two columns on iPad — with “Coming Up” and “Recently Finished”.
Series
Series that finally add up
- Scan an ISBN — title, author, cover, publisher and more are fetched automatically from several book databases.
- Series are grouped automatically — see which volume you're missing and add it in the edition you prefer.
- Special volumes like “book 8.5” are sorted correctly, too.
My lists

Who is behind BookSafe
A family in southern Germany. The father writes the code, the mother proofreads every line and finds the mistakes nobody else does, and their daughter collects book series — the fact that series detection gets even “book 8.5” right is down to her standards. The release-day fireworks were her idea, too.
There is no account and no tracking, and that was never a product decision — it was a family decision.
The full story is in the press kit.
