Tomely is the calm home for your real, physical books — catalog them, remember who's borrowing what, and share shelves with the people you read alongside.
Free for up to 100 books · no credit card · no branding on your first shelf.
My Library
Cataloging, lending and sharing — the parts of owning books that spreadsheets and photos never quite handled.
Catalog every copy
Search, scan or add by hand — with editions, condition and the exact shelf it lives on.
Lend without losing
Track who has which book, set due dates, and keep a full history of every loan.
Share your shelves
Friends-only or a public link — and choose exactly what's open to borrow.
The Wager
David Grann · 2023
Type a title or ISBN and Tomely pulls the cover and details from Google Books and Open Library. Prefer to do it by hand? The manual form captures series and position, genres, edition labels, condition, publisher and where the copy physically sits.
See what's out on loan, when it's due, and a full history of everyone who's borrowed it. Friends can request to borrow straight from a shelf, and gentle reminders mean you never have to send the awkward “can I get my book back?” text again.

Horror Picks
Build a shelf, then share it with a friend or with anyone who has the link — and decide book by book what's open to borrow. Keep a wishlist of what you don't own yet and share that too, so friends and family always know what you're after.
Physical locations
Room, bookcase, shelf and position — find any copy in seconds.
Authors & series
Group by author, order a series by position, and link series that overlap.
Wishlist
Mark books you plan to buy and share the list with friends.
Reading stats
See your collection at a glance and get an annual recap.
Catalog up to 100 books, track your loans and connect with a friend without paying a cent. When your collection or your circle of borrowers outgrows the free plan, Plus and Collector are there — but only reach for them when you actually need them.
