Across your devices

One library. Every device you own.

Each app is built for its device and kept in sync through CloudKit's private database. Native UI, shared data, no web wrapper.

An entire library, in your pocket.

The iPhone app carries the full Athos workflow: capture, search, edit, queue, and log from one hand.

  • One-tap scannerOpen the camera from anywhere. A target frame confirms when the barcode locks.
  • Universal search across every fieldSearch title, author, series, ISBN, publisher, tags, notes, and journal entries from one field.
  • Multi-select batch operationsTag, move, mark as read, change ownership, or remove — work through dozens of titles in a single sitting.
  • Saved smart filters in the sidebarPin views like "Unread fiction bought in 2026" or "Hardcovers on loan" and let them refresh.
  • Offline-first capture queueScan without signal. Athos queues the barcode and resolves details when you reconnect.

Privacy

Private by design.

No analytics, advertising SDKs, or Athos servers. Your library lives in your iCloud account, and Athos has no backend that can read it.

Nothing tracks you

No analytics, ads, or hidden trackers.

Anonymous lookups

Book lookups send only the identifier needed to fetch metadata.

Locked away

Sensitive data stays under the device and iCloud protections you already use.

Lives in iCloud

Sync uses your private iCloud account, not Athos infrastructure.

No account required

Open the app and start scanning. No email, password, or profile.

Nothing hidden

App Store privacy details list what Athos can access.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Short answers, with more detail in the FAQ. Open the FAQ →

Is there a subscription?

No. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and updates for this major version.

Does Athos support Family Sharing?

Yes. One purchase supports up to six Family Sharing members, each with a private library.

Where does my library actually live?

On your devices, mirrored to your private CloudKit container if sync is on. Athos has no backend for your library.

Can I leave Athos and take my data?

Yes. Export to CSV or JSON at any time.

Does Athos collect any analytics?

No analytics or tracking. Feedback comes by email, not usage data. See the privacy policy.

Does the scanner work offline?

Captured offline, queued, and resolved when you reconnect.

Does Athos work without iCloud?

Yes — CloudKit sync is opt-in. Run Athos as a single-device library and your data stays entirely on that device.

How long does sync take?

Most edits sync in seconds. First sync for large libraries can take a few minutes, mostly for covers.

How do imports handle duplicates?

ISBN check first, then fuzzy match by title and author. You preview every match and decide per-row before anything is written.

Will it work in my language?

Yes. Athos includes 33 language and region options; the full emoji list is in the language section above.

Is there a Windows or Android version?

No. Athos is built for Apple platforms.

What's the relationship with Apple Books?

None — Athos is a catalogue for the books you own, regardless of format. Apple Books is one of eight metadata sources for cover art.
