Adding books

Open the Scan tab. You can scan a barcode, take a photo of a book cover or a whole shelf, or search by title or author. Brwd fills in covers, genres and publication details. Photo scans have a daily limit per account.

Lending a book

Open a book in your library and tap Loan. Choose a friend (or type a name), add a note or due date if you like, and choose whether your borrower may pass the book along freely or must ask you first. Friends you lend to see the loan in their own app.

Returning a book

A borrower can tell you it's been returned, and you confirm it when the book is back with you. You can also ask whoever has your book to give it back.

Passing a borrowed book along

If the owner allows it, tap Pass Along on a book you've borrowed and choose one of your friends. If the owner chose "Ask me first", they get a request to approve, deny, or ask for the book back.

Friends

Add friends by username or invite link from the Friends tab. Friends can see your name, username and library, including read dates, ratings and reviews. They never see your shelf locations or loan notes. You can remove a friend at any time.

Importing books you've read

In the Read tab, choose a .csv export from another reading app to bring in your reading history.

Signing in

You can sign in with an email and password, or with Sign in with Apple. New email accounts need to confirm their address: tap the link in the email on the iPhone that has Brwd installed.

Deleting your account

Tap the account icon at the top left of the app, then Delete account. This permanently removes your profile, library, reading log, friend connections, loans, requests and recommendations. See the Privacy Policy for details.
