CLUSTER CATALOG-TRACK-BOOKS · 19 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-08-02

Book cataloging and tracking apps

This cluster consists of mobile and web apps that let book lovers catalog collections, scan ISBNs, track reading status, and share or organize libraries. The dated entries before the index start are sparse, with only a handful of single entries scattered across 2010-2026, so the timeline shape is too thin to read. Traction leaders are the-shelf, BookBuddy Pro: Book Tracker, and thereadingplace, each with 0 activity stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
