Mac

The shelf that lives on your desk.

A native Mac app with the full 3D shelf. Drag books in from the Finder, hold ⌘ and scroll to zoom out to the whole wall, and read in a real window.

  • Drag and drop EPUBs and PDFs straight from the Finder onto the shelf.
  • Menu bar and keyboard shortcuts for every view, plus right-click on any book.
  • Reads with the room's light. Wood, gallery and glass shelves that follow your Mac's appearance.
  • Sync with iCloud or Biblio Cloud, so your iPhone shelf and your Mac shelf are the same shelf.
Get it for Mac

Requires macOS 15 or later on an Apple silicon or Intel Mac. Also runs in Safari and Chrome at biblio.ink.

iPhone

Your whole library, in your pocket.

The same 3D shelf, sized for one hand. Read on the train, log a paper book you finished, or point the camera at a real bookcase and let Biblio read the spines.

  • Photograph a shelf of paper books and Biblio adds them, spine by spine.
  • Ask Vidya, the librarian, about your own books. On iOS 26 it thinks on-device.
  • Widgets, Siri and Spotlight. The book you are reading is one tap from the Home Screen.
  • Reading log keeps itself. Sessions are recorded while you read; you never fill in a form.
Get it for iPhone

Requires iOS 18 or later. On-device Vidya needs iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone.

iPad

A reading room you can hold.

On iPad the shelf stretches to three tiers and the reader gets the page size it deserves. Drag a book from Files, or from Biblio on your Mac when they sit side by side.

  • Three-tier shelf with room-scale zoom: one row for browsing, the whole wall for choosing.
  • Drag and drop from Files, Mail and Safari; drop a PDF and it is a book.
  • Handoff the page you are on to your iPhone or Mac and keep reading.
  • Highlights and notes in the reader; any passage becomes a shareable quote card in the book's own colours.
Get it for iPad

Requires iPadOS 18 or later.

Biblio on iPad: a wooden wall of coloured shelves, hardcovers standing on each tier.

Questions, answered plainly.

Is Biblio free?

Yes. The web app and the Mac, iPhone and iPad apps are free, with unlimited books stored on your device. Syncing between devices is a paid membership: Biblio Cloud from $39 a year on the web, or an in-app purchase on the App Store.

Which devices does Biblio run on?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 18 or later, Mac on macOS 15 or later (one App Store download covers all three), and any modern browser at biblio.ink.

Where is my library stored?

On your device. The web app uses browser storage; the Apple apps use on-device storage. Nothing leaves your machine unless you turn on sync. There is no account requirement.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once loaded, the shelf, reader and your books all work without a connection.

Which file formats can I add?

EPUB and PDF. On iPhone and iPad you can also photograph a shelf of paper books and Biblio reads the spines and adds them.

Can I use the same library on the web and on my iPhone?

Yes, with a Biblio Cloud membership. Sign in with the same account on biblio.ink and in the app and your shelf follows you. On Apple devices you can sync through your own iCloud account instead.
