MyBibliotheca Comes to iOS: Join the TestFlight Beta

7 minutes read

Your next chapter can start on your iPhone. The MyBibliotheca iOS beta is available through TestFlight, bringing your library, reading journal, audiobook tracking, and TBR into a dedicated app for iPhone and iPad.

Already have a MyBibliotheca account? Use it in the app. The books you added on the website and the reading history you have built belong to that account, so you can pick up where you left off.

Join the MyBibliotheca iOS beta on TestFlight.

A familiar reading space, made for your phone

The iOS app puts Home, Library, Add, TBR, and Stats within reach through native tabs. Notifications and Settings sit in the toolbar, and Back navigation helps you return to the page you were just using.

That means fewer steps between opening the app and doing the thing you came for: logging a chapter, checking your queue, adding a recommendation, or looking at your month in books.

The app connects to the same MyBibliotheca account as the website. Saved changes carry across when you return to your library in a browser or on another device.

Keep every format in one reading journal

A paperback on the nightstand, an ebook in your bag, and an audiobook for the commute can all share the same journal.

Record pages, reading sessions, and listening minutes. Track your position or completion percentage, keep start and finish dates, and leave a note about a session you want to remember. Audiobook duration and progress sit alongside your print and ebook records.

MyBibliotheca helps you keep track of what you read and hear. You continue to enjoy the books themselves in your usual reading and listening apps.

Make room for what comes next

Your TBR can hold more than a title. Add priorities, mood tags, and a reminder of why a book caught your attention. Separate your wider Plan to read collection from the books you want Up next.

Private lists, custom bookshelves, and series information help you find your way around the collection. Whether you are choosing a short weekend read or returning to a favorite author, a little context makes the decision easier.

Bring your existing library along

If your reading history lives in Goodreads or StoryGraph, you can import a supported CSV and review the column mapping before bringing it into MyBibliotheca. Supported fields include books, reading statuses, ratings, notes, and reading dates.

If you have already imported that history into your account, it is ready when you sign in on iOS. Installing the app does not require importing it again.

Our library import guide walks through the supported fields and steps.

Save the ideas that stay with you

Keep private notes, reviews, and highlights with the books they belong to. The notes editor offers simple formatting, so a reading journal can be comfortable to write as well as useful to revisit.

You can also connect Readwise, set up KOReader progress sync, or use the KOReader highlights plugin. Each integration needs its own setup; existing connections belong to your account and remain available when you use the iOS app.

For readers collecting new words, Vocabulary brings together single-word highlights for practice with English definitions and recall choices.

See your reading life take shape

Stats help you look beyond the number of books finished. Revisit reading activity, streaks, pages, listening minutes, and monthly progress. Year in Reading gives you another way to reflect on the books and patterns that shaped your year.

When you want to share something, recap cards let you choose a moment from your reading without opening up your whole library.

Your account stays private by default. MyBibliotheca is ad-free, and you can export your library and reading records when you want a copy of your own.

Install the iOS beta with TestFlight

TestFlight is Apple's app for installing and testing beta releases. That is how to get the MyBibliotheca iOS beta today.

  1. Install TestFlight from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Open the MyBibliotheca beta invitation on that device.
  3. Follow the invitation to accept the beta and install MyBibliotheca. TestFlight shows the available build and device requirements.
  4. Open MyBibliotheca and sign in with your existing account, or create one if you are new.
  5. Add your current book, log a session, or explore the library you already have.

Beta builds are available for a limited testing period. Keep an eye on TestFlight for updates; you can also enable automatic updates there. Apple explains installation, build expiry, and feedback in its TestFlight guide.

Help shape the iOS experience

We would love to hear how the app fits into your everyday reading. Try adding a book, recording an audiobook session, moving through your TBR, and revisiting your notes on the device you normally use.

If something looks wrong or feels awkward, send feedback through TestFlight or report an issue in MyBibliotheca while signed in. Include the device, the build shown in the app, and the steps that led to the problem. Check screenshots for personal information before sending them.

The Help Center is also available if you need help getting started. And the website remains there whenever you want to use MyBibliotheca from a browser.

Try MyBibliotheca on iOS through TestFlight.

Your reading journal should make space for the way you actually read. Thank you for helping us bring that experience to iPhone and iPad.

Your books. Your data. Your pace.
