Shelf: Board Game Collection

Shelf is the board game companion that tells you what to play tonight.

Catalog your entire collection by scanning game boxes with your camera — Shelf recognizes barcodes and cover art and fills in the details automatically. Track every play with player names, durations, and winners. Then let the AI do the hard part.

Ask Shelf what to play tonight. Tell it who's playing and how long you have. Shelf's on-device AI cross-references your collection, your play history, and who's played what before — and surfaces three ranked recommendations with plain-language reasoning. "Wingspan is perfect for tonight — everyone knows it and Sarah still hasn't tried the Oceania expansion." All on-device. Your collection never leaves your phone.

Your collection, beautifully kept:
• Scan game boxes to add them in seconds
• Log plays in under 30 seconds — players, duration, winner
• Stats dashboard: win rates, most-played games, plays per month
• Collection value tracker with per-game estimates
• Want list for games on your radar
• "Game Night Tonight?" widget on your Home Screen
• Siri: "Ask Shelf what to play with 4 players in 90 minutes"
• Sync across all your household devices with CloudKit
• BGG import: bring your BoardGameGeek collection in one tap
• Complexity Coach: AI tips based on your group's play patterns
• Shelf Wrapped: shareable annual year-in-review every January

After every game night, generate a shareable game-night card — the game you played, who won, and the actual time — perfect for your group chat.
