Regalzeile

Your library, shelf by shelf.

Add books and records by barcode, arrange them in a true-to-scale shelf plan and find every copy again later, right where it stands.

Free up to 200 titles. No credit card needed.

See where every book stands

Bookcases are drawn compartment by compartment, spine by spine. Arrange them with a mouse or a finger and find any book again to the centimetre.

Add items in seconds

Hold the barcode up to the camera and title, author, publisher and cover fill themselves in. In the bookshop, the scanner tells you whether you already own a book, even offline.

Books and records in one bookcase

Records stand next to your books, with square covers and their true spine width. Discogs supplies the cover, the tracklist and the value of your collection.

Everything that comes with it

A library is more than a list. Regalzeile knows who is reading what, who has borrowed what and what is still missing.

  • Loans without scraps of paper

    Who has which book, since when and until when. Overdue loans arrive by email once a week.

  • Your reading year

    Unread, reading, read. Five stars, the date you finished and a yearly goal that tells you whether you are ahead of or behind schedule.

  • One library for the whole household

    Several people, one library. Roles for readers, members and owners; reading data stays personal.

  • A wishlist against duplicate gifts

    Paste an ISBN or an Amazon link and the cover appears by itself. “Ordered by” shows who has already taken care of it.

  • Share by link

    Share a collection, a genre or an author for 7, 30 or 90 days. Anyone with the link sees the list without an account.

  • Your library in numbers

    Shelf metres, how full each bookcase is, rankings by genre, author and decade, and the value of your record collection in Swiss francs.

  • Cover wall and filters

    Your catalogue as a list, as tiles or as covers only, in three sizes. Every filter is part of the address and can be passed on.

  • Table in top view

    Whatever is not on a shelf lies on the table: stacked, rotated, movable, seen from above.

  • Ask your AI assistant about your shelf

    Regalzeile is an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants: “Do I already have this?”, “What's out on loan?”, “Add this ISBN” — with exactly your permissions, from Plus.

Your data stays yours

For public bodies and organisations

Specialist libraries for courts, public prosecutors, administrations, law firms and libraries, across all your locations.

  • Several locations, one collection. Every volume has its place, and search finds it at any location.
  • Loans, due dates, circulation. Who has which commentary, until when, and where the new edition is right now.
  • Data hosted in Switzerland. Nightly backup, export at any time, ISO 27001.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my library over from Libib?

Yes. Export the CSV file in Libib and import it into Regalzeile. Duplicates are detected, and a report shows what was imported. Step by step in the guide: Add.

What happens after 200 titles?

On Basic, you cannot add another title once you reach 200; nothing is lost. In Settings, switch to Plus or Full and cancel at any time, after which Basic applies again. More in the guide: Settings.

Can other people see my books?

No. Only people invited to your library can see it. Items marked as private stay hidden even from readers. With a link, you share only what you choose, and only for as long as you want. More in the guide: Libraries.

Do I need an app?

No, Regalzeile runs in the browser. On your phone, add it to the home screen: the scanner then starts like an app and works offline too. More in the guide: On your phone.

Does it work with records too?

Yes. You add records by barcode, Discogs fills in the cover, tracklist and value, and in the shelf plan they stand next to your books at their true spine width. More in the guide: Bookcases.
