Only for Mac
$39.99
Mac
Your CBR, CBZ and PDF comics, shelved like a designer's bookcase. Now with Fix cover: set the perfect front (and back) for every single volume.
Your comics. Your folders. A library worthy of them.
Shelf Republic turns the folders you've spent years organizing into a beautiful visual library — without asking you to change a thing. Point it at your root folder and your covers appear, big, in seconds. No import. No migration. No database to fill.
It isn't a reader and it isn't a cloud. It's the visual layer that was missing between your files and the viewer you already use.
WHAT YOU GET
- Shelf view — oversized covers on virtual shelves. The cover is the protagonist, not an 80-pixel thumbnail.
- Front-to-back flip — flip any book to its back cover. The art with nothing in the way.
- Collapsible stacks — a whole run folds into one spine; expand to see every volume in order.
- Search & filters — by author, genre, rating or any custom tag. Find one book among thousands in seconds.
- Opens in your reader — two clicks and the file opens in YACReader, Preview, Comickaze or whatever you already use. No new reader to learn.
ISOLATED VAULTS
Keep collections that live in different worlds in different worlds. Each vault points to its own folder, with independent tags, filters and ratings. Your complete Marvel never sits next to your bande dessinée, and the manga's right-to-left rules never touch the rest.
YOURS, BY CONSTRUCTION
There's no proprietary database, so there's nothing to be held hostage. Your files stay standard CBR, CBZ and PDF on disk, readable by any viewer. Move a folder in Finder and the app updates. If you ever stop using Shelf Republic, you keep the collection — you only lose the viewer.
- No account. No cloud. No telemetry. Everything runs on your Mac.
- Zero migration, zero lock-in, zero technical setup.
Point it at your folder. See your collection like never before.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Fix cover. Some comics pack credits, ads, or interior art as the first or last page of the archive, so the shelf showed the wrong cover. The new "Fix cover…" action lets you pick the real front (and back) page from a fast thumbnail picker. Your files are never modified, it's pure metadata. Plus faster cover thumbnails that load a big book in about a second.
