The fastest way to scout books.
ISBNScout identifies books in seconds using barcode, cover photo, or exclusive AI spine recognition — so you can scan single books or entire shelves.
Point. Scan. Decide.
Lightning-fast ISBN detection with a mobile-first camera flow. Ideal for high-volume scanning sessions in shops and warehouses.
- • Instant ISBN lookup to Amazon & eBay.
- • Fallback manual ISBN entry when barcodes are damaged.
Just take a photo.
Snap the front cover and let AI extract title, author, and edition — perfect for older books or missing barcodes.
- • Ideal for vintage and collectible books.
- • Works even when barcodes are faded or covered.
Scan the whole shelf.
Photograph a single spine or a whole shelf. ISBNScout reads the titles for you. No other scouting app offers this.
- • Rapid shelf scanning without pulling books out.
- • Huge time-saver on big charity shop sections.
Works even when your signal doesn't.
Most scouting apps stop the moment your phone loses reception. ISBNScout is built as offline-first, so you keep working in basements, back rooms, and concrete warehouses.
Scan anywhere.
SQLite on-device storage keeps your scans, profit estimates, and notes safe while you're offline. When you're back online, everything syncs to the cloud.
- • Offline scanning for barcode, cover, and spine.
- • Local profit calculations using cached pricing.
- • Auto-sync to PostgreSQL when connection restores.
Made for UK book hunters.
Built specifically for how UK resellers actually work: charity shops, car-boot sales, library clear-outs, and house clearances.
- • Offline banner so you always know your status.
- • "Syncing..." indicator when data catches up.
- • Designed for one-handed use on mobile.
