Features

The most important Booky workflows in detail

Booky is designed around real use on small screens. Features should not only exist, but be reachable at the right time and remain easy to understand.

Core areas

Product areas that work together

The app follows a clear structure: capture, sort, keep reading, protect. That creates fewer breaks between managing your collection and actual daily use.

Collection

Library and wishlist without messy workarounds

Booky treats owned books and wishlist titles as different contexts, not just as one list with a filter on top.

  • Dedicated views for owned and wanted titles
  • Status handling without spreadsheet logic
  • Fast switching between library and wishlist
Lookup

ISBN, title, author, and covers in one place

When you add new books, you do not have to jump between multiple tools. Booky combines capture, metadata, and cover help directly in the app flow.

  • Camera-based ISBN scanning
  • Title and author search for missing data
  • Cover helper including manual selection
Reading

More than ownership management

Booky also keeps track of reading state, page progress, ratings, and personal notes.

  • Current page and total pages
  • Read and sold state
  • Ratings, notes, and categories
Suggestions

Personal suggestions with local profile building

If you enable the feature, Booky derives taste profiles locally from your library and wishlist instead of uploading the whole collection as one dataset.

  • Local profile building from series, authors, categories, and feedback
  • Derived search signals instead of raw full-library upload
  • Suggestion feedback directly inside the app
Workflow

How Booky feels in use

Especially on mobile, sequencing matters. A good flow saves more time than ten disconnected features.

1

Capture

Scan one book or several ISBNs in a row and let metadata flow into the preview list automatically.

2

Review

You can see title, author, covers, and duplicate hints before you commit the final save.

3

Protect

Create local backups or enable private cloud snapshots if you want an additional off-device restore path.
