ShelfMate

Self-hosted library cataloguing for books and music without barcoding — photo import via Claude AI, genre, batch edit, condition grading and CSV export.

find that book or cd -- where is that cd? (we recently moved and our shelves became somewhat mixed up. so a few photos here and there and voila we have a searchable catalogue of over 1000 titles - all done in < a day!)
