Finding things

Search, filters, smart shelves, sorting and the sidebar.

Search your shelves finds what you type anywhere in the title, creators, series, tags, genre, barcode or notes. Accents don’t matter: “bjork” finds Björk.

Filters

Filter this shelf lists what’s on the shelf, with counts, by:

The Filter menu open over the shelf, on Format: what’s on the shelf by format, with counts, and the other filters listed down the side.
Filter this shelf.

Category · Format · Status · Genre · Tag · Creator · Series · Platform · Publisher · Condition · Grade · Where it lives · Rating · Year · Price paid · Worth now · Has artwork · Has a barcode · Out on loan · Title · Added · Film or TV · Notes, and any fields of your own.

Pick values to narrow the shelf. Active filters show as chips; press one to take it off. Each shelf keeps its own filters.

Smart shelves

Any filters you’ve set can be kept as a smart shelf: press Save as smart shelf at the end of the filter chips and give it a name. It goes in the sidebar, keeps your sort order too, and stays up to date as you add things. × beside it in the sidebar deletes it.

Advanced filters builds a filter from conditions: + Add a condition, then choose Match all or Match any.

With a smart shelf open, Rename changes its name. Change its filters or order and you get Update “its name” to keep the change, or Save as new to make another.

Smart shelves are kept with your library, so they’re in your backups and travel with a shared library.

Sorting

Sort by Newest first, Title, Author, Genre, Series, Your rating, Year or Worth now, and turn on Reverse the order to flip it. Each category uses its own names for these, so Author becomes Artist on Music, and a category’s own fields are in the list too. Shelves with graded things can also sort by Grade, best first. In the list view, click the Title, By or Year heading.

The Reading now shelf in List view: rows with columns for title, by, year, kind, status and size.

Its Storage section shows how much room the library, covers, cache and backups take. It can keep only the newest three backups, and has Clear kept web answers and Clear kept cut-outs to free up space.
