Storyshelf: EPUB Reader

WHAT IT DOES
Storyshelf is a private, offline reading app: a bookshelf you actually enjoy looking at, a reader for the ebooks you already own, and a journal of everything you have read.

READ IN THE APP
• Open your own DRM-free EPUB files — import a book and read it right here
• Browse and read tens of thousands of public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg, downloaded straight to your shelf
• A calm reader: paginated pages, night and paper themes, adjustable text size, chapter list, and a two-page layout on tablets
• Highlight a passage and it is saved to that book's notes
• Reading in the app logs your time by itself and updates your progress

YOUR SHELF
• See your books three ways — a cover grid, a book-spine shelf, and a cover-calendar of what you finished each month
• Track every book: Want to Read, Currently Reading, Read, and a real Did-Not-Finish shelf
• Rate in half and quarter stars, write reviews, and save quotes
• Add books fast — scan a barcode, search by title, or add by hand
• Build custom shelves and organise your collection your way
• Import your existing library from a Goodreads or StoryGraph CSV export

YOUR NUMBERS
• Private stats: pace, pages per day, genre and mood breakdowns, ratings, reading time, and streak history
• Share a reading recap card when you want to

COMMERCIAL EBOOKS
Storyshelf reads your own DRM-free EPUB files and includes access to public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg. Books bought from commercial ebook stores (Kindle, Kobo, Google Play Books) are not supported, because publishers do not license those titles to independent reading apps.

WHO IT'S FOR
• Readers with their own DRM-free ebook library
• Anyone who wants the classics to hand, with a shelf that looks good
• Readers who prefer a private shelf with no social feed and no account

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your books, ratings, and notes stay on your device. No account required, no social feed, works offline.

The banner ad at the bottom of the free tier never loaded at all. It asked for the wrong size, so nothing was ever served. Also: closing a book straight after selecting text, and ending an ISBN scan, no longer log an internal error. Nothing about reading or your library changes.
