Your ebooks,
finally home.

Alcove is a personal ebook library for Mac and iPad. One place for every book you own — regardless of where you bought it.

Your ebooks live in too many places.

Some are in Apple Books. Some are in Kindle. The rest are EPUB files buried in your Downloads folder — Humble Bundle purchases, publisher sales, public domain finds accumulated over years. There's no single way to search them, tag them, or even know what you own.

Alcove fixes that.

Built for collectors.

Organize the way you think

Tags, ratings, reading status, and series tracking — all the metadata Apple Books never gave you. Filter and sort your collection any way you want.

Import from anywhere

Drag in EPUBs from your Downloads folder, import from iCloud Drive, or pull in your entire Calibre library. Alcove doesn't care where your books came from.

Rich metadata for every book

Edit titles, authors, publishers, and series details. Rate books and track what you've read. Everything saves instantly — no forms, no save buttons.

Always in sync

Your library syncs across Mac, iPad, and iPhone via iCloud. Start browsing on your Mac, pick up on iPad. Your ratings, tags, and reading status follow you.
