CLZ Books - library organizer

CLZ Books catalogs book collections with ISBN scanning, cover art, and values, delivering a powerful and efficient way to organize libraries of any size. Designed for collectors, readers, and librarians alike, the app combines fast book entry tools with a comprehensive online database. 

Powered by the CLZ Core online book database, the app automatically retrieves essential book information and images, eliminating manual data entry and keeping collections neatly organized and up to date.

Two Easy Ways to Add Books

Books can be added quickly by scanning ISBN barcodes using the built-in camera, OCR for printed ISBN numbers, or a USB barcode scanner. ISBN lookups achieve a 98% success rate. Alternatively, books can be found by searching the CLZ Core database by author and title, making cataloging flexible and efficient.

Automatic Book Details and Cover Art

CLZ Core automatically provides full book information, including author, title, publisher, publication date, plot description, genres, and subjects. High-quality cover images are added instantly, ensuring a visually complete catalog.

Full Editing and Personal Data

All automatically added fields can be edited as needed. Authors, titles, publication details, and descriptions can be adjusted, and custom cover art can be uploaded for both front and back covers. Personal details such as condition, storage location, purchase date, price, store, and notes can also be added to enhance organization.

Multiple Collections for Flexible Organization

CLZ Books supports multiple collections displayed as Excel-like tabs. This makes it easy to separate physical books from ebooks, manage collections for different people, or track books that have been sold or are available for sale.

Fully Customizable Browsing and Sorting

Book catalogs can be viewed as lists with compact thumbnails or as card layouts with large cover images. Sorting options include author, title, publication date, or date added. Books can also be grouped into folders by author, publisher, genre, subject, or location.

CLZ Cloud Backup and Sync

CLZ Cloud ensures that book collections are securely backed up online. Libraries can be synced across multiple devices and shared online, providing access to the collection anytime and anywhere.
