Shelfieline

Your private study, in pocket

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

v1.3: Share your shelf to social, view covers in a grid, and bulk-move books between shelves. All free. Your private study, in your pocket. Shelfieline is an iPhone / iPad app that turns reading from a list-management chore into a personal experience. We've recreated a real bookshelf in digital form — spine textures, varying book heights, the heft of the shelf itself, all carefully redrawn. The dark, "private den" aesthetic is built for readers who care about how their library looks. ▼ Key Features 【Study Carousel】Multiple bookshelves arranged side-by-side. Swipe left and right to switch. Adjacent shelves peek in from both sides so you see your whole collection at a glance. 【Bookshelf Detail】Your books displayed as realistic spines. Pinch to zoom — rows recalculate automatically based on book count. Letterpress-style title and author detail, with paper / cloth / leather material rendering for each book. 【Three Ways to Add Books】 ・Scan ISBN barcode (auto-fills bibliographic info) ・Manually enter title / author ・Share a cover image from Safari → assign to a book in-app Cover images are captured by your camera or chosen from your photo library. No automatic third-party fetching — the choice is always yours. 【Reading Status】 ・Four states: want to read / reading / finished / stockpile ・Page progress slider (for books in reading state) ・5-star rating (for finished books) ・Calendar entry for start / finish dates 【Reading Diary】 ・Multiple notes per book ・Grouped by month for easy review ・Optional photo attachment (quoted pages, related notes) 【Shelf Memo】 ・Free-form text memo per shelf ・Attach as many photos as you like (interesting pages, bookstore shelves, bookmarks) 【Reading History (bank-passbook style)】 ・Per-shelf timeline of "book added / started / finished / note written" ・Running holdings count, like a real passbook 【Shelf Materials & Wallpapers (Pro)】 ・6 shelf materials: Walnut, Ebony (Free) + Oak, Maple, Teak, Mahogany (Pro) ・5 wallpapers: Plain (Free) + Linen, Wood Panel, Dark Concrete, Leather (Pro) ・Mix and match per shelf 【Home Screen Widgets (Pro)】 ・Glance at your library size and books finished.

Spines render in three materials (paper / cloth / leather), with details like gold-foiled titles, ribbon bookmarks, and weathering for a sense of presence. ▼ Plans ・Free: up to 3 bookshelves / up to 30 books / all features (Walnut & Ebony materials included) ・Pro Plan (one-time ¥980): unlimited shelves and books + 4 shelf materials + 4 wallpapers + Home Screen widgets ▼ Requirements iOS 17 or later, iPhone or iPad. iPhone XS or newer recommended for barcode scanning. --- YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ.
