Does anyone know of a good offline or at the very least local-first app for keeping track of read books, to read books, and search for books by ism, author, etc. I don't care about any social features. I'm asking for essentially a glorified crud app with a nice UI and isbn lookup and goodreads scraping.

Calibre. Mainly for eBooks but you could add an empty book for those that are paper. It'll do metadata lookup and what not too given a title etc.
I’m a little bit embarrassed to share it at this point, but I’m developing an application, called Biblish, that is meant to offer small utilities that augment the process of reading, writing, publishing, and distributing literature. One piece of that is a note taking software, called Papertrail, that allows you to take notes for books you are reading in print, and other users can subscribe to these notes and see them…
I'll give biblish a go!

Hmm. Hadn’t considered it for that. I’ve only used it for conversions, never kept things there since their ebook reader is quite bad.

It's quite bad? It's the only one I've ever used.

On Mac at least is it quite laggy and janky overall, especially when compared to Apple’s Book app.
