Some books are more than their pages — the one from a street market, the one your mother gave you, the one you've read three times, differently each time.
Shelflife is a book tracker and reading journal for paper books. Scan an ISBN, set the book on its shelf, and keep everything it means to you — a private home library with a memory.
YOUR HOME LIBRARY
• Add books in seconds with the ISBN barcode scanner, or by hand
• Shelve every book where it really lives — room, shelf, box — and find it again with search
• Keep what makes each copy yours: edition, condition, receipt, what you paid, what it's worth
• Lending tracker: mark a book as loaned and always know who has it
A READING TRACKER BUILT FOR REREADING
• Every reading is its own journal entry — reread a book years later and both readings stand side by side
• Log reading sessions with pages and minutes, and watch the ribbon of progress move
• Keep notes and quotes by page, then turn a favorite line into a quote card worth sharing
• Plan your TBR: want to read, reading, finished, did not finish
A MEMORY KEEPER
• Attach photos and moments to any book — "bought at the Da Nang book fair", "finished on New Year's Eve"
• The timeline turns your reading log into an album of your reading life
• Yearbook stats: books read, pages turned, top authors, what your library is worth
QUIET BY DESIGN
No account. No feed. No one reading over your shoulder. Your whole library lives on your phone, works offline, and exports to a ZIP backup whenever you want.
Your shelf, your ink, your story.
