BookWorm is in development for iPhone.
Two panes. One library.
Keep your library in view while you explore a book. On iPhone Duo, adaptive dual-pane layouts put your collection and book details side by side. Requires iOS 27.1.
How it works
Add one book or bring an existing list. Your catalogue and reading record stay useful with no signal, and online features say when they need a connection.
Scan its barcode or enter it manually. An online lookup can fill in the cover and edition details, then the book stays in your catalogue on your iPhone.
File it on shelves, add tags, record a loan and keep a wishlist beside the books you own.
Log pages or time, follow goals and streaks, and return to your reading without handing your library to a social feed.
Goodreads and StoryGraph
Export your library as a CSV file, then choose that file in BookWorm. The app works out whether it came from Goodreads or StoryGraph, and asks you when it can’t tell.
Free, and it stays on your iPhone. Import needs no account and no connection. BookWorm shows what came across, what it skipped and what it couldn’t read. Books already in your library are skipped.
Migration card · On device
Download your Goodreads or StoryGraph library as a CSV file.
Pick the file in BookWorm and check the format it detected.
See a report of imported, skipped and failed rows, then find the new books in your library.
Pricing
Your catalogue, shelves, loans, reading record and import stay free. Prices shown are the app’s current GBP configuration.
For cataloguing and reading on one iPhone.
No account required for the local catalogue
or £39.99 / year · 7-day free trial
For syncing one library across your iPhones, with more room for AI.
Account required for sync
Subscriptions are billed through the App Store, which shows local currency at checkout. The 7-day Pro trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Cancel any time in Apple account settings; the library on your iPhone stays where it is.
A little light for your next chapter
Ask Inky to notice where you stopped, pick what to read next or look closely at a shelf photo. Inky never reads for you, and only uses your reading data for AI when you ask for help.
Privacy and data ownership
The catalogue lives in an on-device database. If you never sign in, your book data never reaches us.
An account is optional. You only need one to sync your library across iPhones, or to use AI features.
Usage statistics are off until you switch them on, in Settings, Data and Sync, Privacy. Switch them off again whenever you like.
Inky, the AI companion, only sees the information needed for each feature you ask for—titles, authors, relevant reading records and the text you capture—and only when you are signed in with an account.
FAQ
The short version: the core library is local, and online services explain themselves.
Your catalogue and reading records live on your iPhone and work with no signal. Online book lookup, sync and AI need a connection.
