A place for your books.
Folena brings your personal library to iPhone and iPad. Warm paper tones, generous book covers and clear views make it easy to find your books and keep your next reads in sight.
YOUR BOOKS, YOUR SHELVES Add books by hand or look up matching book details with an ISBN. Check the edition before saving, then add your own covers, personal notes, shelf location and rating.
ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create collections for favorites, holidays, recipes or anything else you like. A book can belong to more than one collection. Keep the books you want in your wishlist. Unread, reading and read stay separate from whether you own a book.
FIND IT AGAIN Switch between cover grid and list, sort your books and search your saved library. Notes and collections help you find the right book, too. Your search terms stay on your device.
MORE ABOUT EACH BOOK Browse available descriptions and edition details. When matching information is available, explore author profiles and other works in your book edition's language. Open your own book photos and available covers in the media view.
FOLENA PRO The optional one-time purchase adds camera and ISBN barcode scanning, Discover and small achievements drawn from your library. No subscription.
PRIVATE, EVEN OFFLINE Folena needs no account, displays no ads and uses no telemetry. Your saved library works offline. New book details, covers and discoveries require an internet connection; availability and coverage depend on the sources.
For iPhone and iPad. Available in German, English, French and Spanish.
