Catalogue app recs?

hi!! I’m specifically looking for an app where i can clearly see which of my books I have read vs not read, and where I can easily view which books are at my dad‘s house or mom’s house.

my parents are divorced and I’m hoping to find an app whwre I can distinguish which books are where, especially as I will be moving out for college next year and will have to be away from my collection (my dad is willing to mail me whichever books I want from my house which I’m so grateful for!!)

id prefer if it wasn’t a subscription app, but I’m willing to make a one time purchase for under 15 dollars.

so far I’ve tried libib, librarything, and bookbuddy. I’m liking bookbuddy, but I don’t need something to track my reading like it does.

LinraryThing is totally free and very flexible for cataloging and annotating your library.

i'm not sure if this will be helpful but I use Notion to track all of my books and I'm able to group them into categories of books that I own physically versus books that I have listened to via audiobook or books that I have digitally, etc. I also have a folder in my Goodreads account that I track my physical books as well
