ExLibris
ExLibris is a personal library management app for macOS that lets users create, organize and catalogue their book collections. It offers features like adding books manually or via barcode scanning, attaching cover images, tagging and sorting books into custom folders, searching the library, and exporting the database in various formats (CSV, XML, PLIST). The app also includes an integrated web browser for online book searches and has built-in bibliography formatting. ExLibris is distributed through the Mac App Store and costs $0.99.

1 suggestionExLibris has not been updated since version 10.1.0 in September 2020. The app store listing and search results contain no mention of a native Apple Silicon build, and nearly six years have passed without a new release — there is no evidence of active development. While the app continues to run under Rosetta 2 today, it will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), leaving you with no way to access your library database. If you rely on ExLibris, you should begin planning to export your data and migrate to an alternative book management app. Native Apple Silicon options include Bookbuddy (for detailed cataloguing with cover images), Libby (for library borrowing), or Soulver (for tracking reading lists in a calculation-friendly format) — all are actively maintained and run natively on M-series Macs. Before abandoning ExLibris entirely, check whether you can export your current library to CSV or XML format so you have a portable record of your books.
