Shelfieline

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. The dark, "private den" aesthetic is built for readers who care about how their library looks.

▼ Key Features

【Study】Your bookshelves side by side. Swipe to switch; neighboring shelves peek in from both sides. On iPad the shelves fill the screen.

【Bookshelf】Your books as realistic spines. Pinch to zoom and the rows rearrange themselves. Paper, cloth and leather textures with letterpress-style titles. Long-press a book to lift it and drag it into place.

【Adding Books】
・Scan an ISBN barcode (fills in the title, author and page count)
・Continuous scan: scan book after book, then shelve them all at once. Books you already own are flagged
・Enter the title and author by hand
・Share a cover image from Safari and assign it to a book

Cover images come only from your camera or your photo library — the choice is always yours.

【Search】
・Search every shelf by title, author, or the text of your notes
・Filter by status: want to read / reading / finished / stockpile
