Catalogue with context
Record titles, authors, series, formats, narrators, genres, ratings, reviews, acquisition details, dates, links, notes, and cover images. Every field is optional, so you capture as much or as little as you want.
Books, ebooks, audiobooks
Keep physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks together in one place. Each format keeps its own relevant fields—narrators for audiobooks, suppliers for ebooks—while staying part of a single, searchable collection.
Personal libraries
Arrange a collection across active personal libraries, retain archived libraries when needed, and move books between libraries as your collection evolves. Duplicate detection is library-scoped, so the same title can live in different libraries.
Dashboard charts
Visualise your collection at a glance with dashboard charts for format breakdown, genre and sub-genre distribution, rating patterns, and acquisition trends. Charts are private to your account and update as your library grows.
Focused lists
Right-click any book to open a focused list of related records—other books by the same author, in the same series, genre, or library. Drill into your collection without leaving the page.
Author search
Find any author quickly. Search by name, see matching results instantly, and jump straight to the books you are looking for.
Spreadsheet templates
Download a spreadsheet template, fill in your books row by row, and import dozens or hundreds of records at once. The import preview lets you review and resolve duplicates before committing.
User Guide
A built-in User Guide walks you through every part of BookTrakdB—from your first book to advanced import, export, and appearance settings. Help is always one click away inside the app.
UI appearance
Choose light, dark, or system-matched themes. Use Hide-Show controls to keep your interface uncluttered—hide fields or panels you do not use and reveal them again whenever you need them.
Read Again
Mark books you want to revisit with a Read Again priority. Your dashboard surfaces titles you have flagged so the best of your collection is never forgotten.
Defaults and custom genres
BookTrakdB ships with a curated set of default genres and sub-genres so you can start cataloguing immediately. Add your own genres and sub-genres at any time, or rename existing ones to match how you think about your collection.
Import and export
Bring in an existing catalogue through supported spreadsheet imports and export your records to Excel or CSV when you want a portable copy or backup.
Default genres
A starting point for your catalogue.
These default genres and sub-genres are available out of the box. You can use them as-is, add your own, or customise the list to suit your collection.
