For book lovers with growing personal libraries, managing hundreds of books has always meant tedious cataloging, lost notes, and forgotten loans!

Perfect for anyone with 200+ books who's tired of manual cataloging, forgotten loans, and lost notes. HomeBooks serves scholars keeping track of citations, collectors avoiding duplicates, and readers organizing their growing libraries—making book management effortless for everyone.
Participants refused to waste a weekend scanning barcodes despite wanting a cataloging solution and willingness to pay.
Users accidentally purchased duplicates because they lacked a convenient way to track their books.
Users had experienced loaning books that were never returned. They found it uncomfortable to ask for their books back and often forgot which ones were loaned.
"One challenge I deal with a lot is remembering which books I already have."
"I definitely prefer digital tools because they're more convenient. For example, if I'm out in public and see a book, I can easily check on my phone whether I already own it."
"Sometimes I get confused about when or why I bought the book because I don't remember buying them. When I find them, I'll be like, 'I don't know where this came from, but I have it.'"
"I think it would've been helpful if there was a way to look up a book title and have all the details, like the author and genre, automatically pop up. That would've saved a lot of time."
"I'd like the app to automatically group books with similar genres or by the same author."
"I already have a vague system in my mind, but having something that makes it easier and less informal would be very helpful, especially for a home library."
