Why sharing your library feels hard

Lists live in different places, loaned books go missing, and recommendations get lost in chats. You need a single, elegant way to present your collection, control who sees it, and keep track of loans and favorites.

Curate public shelves

Create themed shelves, add notes and cover images, then share a single link so anyone can browse your collection.

Track loans with ease

Record who borrowed which book, set return reminders, and see loan history so nothing slips through the cracks.

Smart tags and search

Tag by genre, mood, or priority, use quick search to find titles, and surface recommendations based on your most-loved reads.

How it works

  1. Add books by title, ISBN, or a quick scan, then enrich entries with covers and notes.
  2. Organize into shelves and tags, set visibility for each shelf as public or private.
  3. Share a link or embed a shelf on your profile, blog, or social feed.
  4. Track loans, get return reminders, and discover matches from your collection.
"Vorby turned my messy spreadsheet into a living library. Friends borrow more, recommendations are easier, and I finally know where everything is."
Ava Thompson, home librarian
Is my collection private or public?

You control visibility per shelf. Keep shelves private for personal tracking, or make them public to share with friends and followers.

Can I import my existing list?

Yes, import via CSV or connect with common book services. You can also scan ISBNs to add titles quickly.
