Folio
A reading log that respects the shelf.
A personal reading tracker with an ISBN scanner, a Goodreads importer and reading-goal tracking — backed by a local SQLite library that works with the network off.

Overview
Folio is a library you own. Scan a barcode or search by title, and the book joins a local SQLite shelf with your progress, notes, ratings and dates. Reading goals track against real progress rather than a self-reported number, and the stats view reports on what you actually finished.
Coming from somewhere else is a first-class path: the Goodreads importer parses an export, validates ISBNs, and reports exactly what it could and could not match rather than silently dropping rows. URL safety is validated before any cover or metadata request is made.
The library itself is local. Book metadata lookups go to Google Books when you search or scan; everything else — progress, notes, goals, ratings — stays in the app's own database, with a backup you export yourself.
What it does
Scan the spine, keep the record
ISBN scanner
Scan a barcode with the camera to add a book. Frames are processed on-device to read the code; no image is stored or uploaded.
Local SQLite library
Books, progress, notes, ratings and dates in a migrated on-device schema.
Goodreads import
Parses an export with ISBN validation and a schema check, reporting exactly what matched and what did not.
Reading goals
Goal tracking measured against recorded progress rather than a self-reported total.
Stats
What you finished, how fast, and how the year is tracking.
Notes
Per-book notes kept alongside the record, on the device.
Backup
Export the whole library to a file you control.
