NotionBookshelf
Search a book, add it to your Notion bookshelf in one click
Find a book, tap once, and it's added to your own Notion database — cover art, author, status (Want to Read / Reading / Read / On Hold), and an Amazon link all filled in automatically. Your books live entirely in your own Notion workspace — we never store your data on our side. Works in both English and Japanese, and falls back to Google Books for titles our primary search API doesn't cover, so foreign books work just as well.
What inspired me: I already track almost everything in Notion —
tasks, notes, projects — except books. Keeping a separate reading
app around just for that always felt unnecessary.
The problem: searching for a book and manually copying the title,
author, cover, and status into a database is tedious enough that I'd
just stop doing it after a week. I wanted "search → click → done."
How it evolved: I originally built this around Japan's Rakuten Books
API, so it only really worked for Japanese titles. Once I started
sharing it more broadly, foreign books kept coming up empty, so I
added a Google Books fallback and a full English UI — including a
separate English-language Notion template, since translating status
labels like "Want to Read" turned out to be more involved than I
expected (Notion property names and select options have to match
exactly).
Your books never leave your own Notion workspace — the app itself
stores none of your data.
Would love to hear feedback, especially on what's missing for how
you actually use Notion to track reading!
