BookShelf Reader
Your personal PDF library
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
BookShelf is a clean, distraction-free PDF reader built for people who love books. Import your files, track your reading, and organize your library exactly the way you want — with no ads, no subscriptions, and no accounts required.
READ YOUR WAY
Scroll vertically or flip pages horizontally like a real book. Adjust brightness and switch between clean white and warm sepia mode. Every reading preference, covered.
YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR RULES
View your books as a grid or a list. Sort by title, last read, or progress. Build custom reading lists — To Read, Reading, Finished — and organize everything with categories and favorites.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
See how many pages you've read, time spent reading, your current streak, and your 30-day reading chart. Stats that keep you motivated without getting in the way.
BOOKMARKS & ANNOTATIONS
Mark any page with a bookmark and write notes as you read. All your annotations are organized and easy to find when you need them.
WORKS OFFLINE. ALWAYS.
BookShelf works 100% offline. No internet connection required to read, organize, or track your progress.
OPTIONAL CLOUD SYNC
Sign in with Google to optionally sync your library, progress, bookmarks, and notes across all your devices. Your PDFs are backed up securely. Turn it off anytime — your data stays on your device.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No trackers. No analytics SDKs. No behavioral data collection of any kind. If you never sign in, absolutely nothing leaves your device.
