Getting started

General
Librium helps you build a structured personal library, add books by scanning or searching, organize them by physical location, and track your reading progress over time.
Getting Started
Open Librium and explore the four core areas: Library, Statistics, Scan, and Settings.
Personalize the App
Go to Settings and choose your preferred language, theme, and haptic feedback strength.
Create Your Library Structure
Optionally create your physical structure by adding a room, then a rack, and finally a shelf.
Add Your First Books
Use Scan for barcode or ISBN scanning, search online, or add a book manually if it cannot be found.
Assign Books to Shelves
Open a book detail page and assign the book to a shelf. This step is optional, but recommended for physical collections.
Use Tags
Create tags such as Fiction, Work, or Wishlist and apply them to books for faster organization and filtering.
Track Reading
Start tracking your reading by logging sessions with duration and end page.
Finish a Read
Mark a read as finished when you reach the last page of a book.
Review Statistics
Visit Statistics to review pages read, minutes read, reading streaks, contribution activity, and chart trends.
Keep Your Library Organized
Use Library search and filters regularly to manage your collection quickly.
Build a Routine
Repeat the workflow weekly: scan or add books, assign them to shelves, track reading sessions, and review your progress.
Tips & tricks
Create your room, rack, and shelf structure before adding many books to keep assignments organized from the beginning.
Use tags for reading goals, genres, ownership status, or personal collections.
Log sessions consistently to get more useful streaks, charts, and reading insights.
Use search and filters when your library grows to quickly find books by title, ISBN, or tag.
