Your bookshelf,
shared with friends.
Catalog your home library, lend books to friends with reminders so they come back, and borrow theirs.
Borrow
Everything your friends own, in one search
Search once and see which friends have a book, then ask to borrow it with a tap. They pick how long you can keep it, and Stacks reminds you both when it's due, so lent books find their way home.
Want to read
Hear the moment a friend has it
Keep a list of books you'd like to read. When a friend adds one to their shelf, you'll know, and you can ask for it straight away.
Notes
Every copy carries its story
Leave a heart or a line for the next reader. Notes stay with the book as it moves between friends, so you can see where it's been and what everyone thought.
And a few more things
Fill your shelf fast
Scan the barcodes on a shelf of books with your phone, or bring your list over from Goodreads or StoryGraph in one go.
One shelf for the household
Live with someone whose books are your books? Share one shelf, with your own logins, notes and friends.
A link to your library
Send anyone a link to browse your books, no account needed. Friends can join to borrow from you.
Questions
Read them all →How is this different from Goodreads or StoryGraph?
Those track your reading. Stacks is about the physical copies on your shelves and the people around you: who has which book, and getting it into a friend's hands. No ratings, no recommendation engine, no public profiles.
Do I have to lend my books out?
No. Every request comes to you and you can say no. Plenty of people use Stacks as a catalog of what they own and mostly borrow.
We share our books at home. Do we need two accounts?
One each, sharing a shelf. You both see and lend everything, and keep your own notes, hearts, read marks and friends.
Does it cost anything?
It's free for up to 100 books and 10 friends. Stacks Plus lifts both limits for $3 a month or $24 a year. See pricing
