Morus · A record of your books

Keep track of the books you own.

Scan a barcode. Morus pulls the cover, author, and page count from Open Library and adds the book to your shelf.

A note on why this exists

Morus keeps a record of the books I own — read, reading, and not yet started. That's the whole idea.

The catalogue data comes from Open Library, the free and editable record of the world's books. Covers, page counts, publishers — all of it. Morus is a front end for browsing and shelving it.

It's free and open source. No tracking, no ads. I built it for myself and put it online in case it's useful to you. The code, and the rest of my work, is at nty.et.

Morus is the Latin name for the mulberry — the tree in the story of Pyramus and Thisbe.
