Good to know
A few things you may be wondering.
The essentials about building a shelf and making Shelfroom part of your reading life.
What is Shelfroom?
Shelfroom is a personal library and reading companion built around a visual bookshelf. Arrange your books in a space you can make your own.
Can I use Shelfroom for free?
Yes. Free includes one fully editable shelf, an unlimited local library, reading tools, quotes, and shelf image export. Premium adds unlimited shelves and extra creative options.
How can I customize my shelf?
Arrange books, photos, frames, decor, backgrounds, materials, and lighting. You can start from a template or a blank shelf and export the result as an image.
How do I add books?
Search by title, look up an ISBN, scan a barcode, add a book manually, or import a supported library export.
Can I track my reading?
Yes. Record reading progress and sessions, use the reading timer, and see your history and statistics. There is no pressure to read at a particular pace.
Can I save quotes from a book?
Yes. Save quotes yourself or capture text from a photo using on-device text recognition. You can also share quotes as cards.
Do I need an account?
No Shelfroom account is needed to get started. Your library and shelves are stored on your device, not in a Shelfroom cloud account.
Will my library sync between devices?
Not yet; cross-device sync is planned. For now, you can export your library as a CSV file and import it on another device. That transfer covers book and library details, not shelves, quotes, or other app data. A full backup and restore for all app data is also planned soon, including a way to move everything to a new device.
Are there ads or data sales?
No. Shelfroom has no third-party ads and does not sell personal information. Online book lookup and purchases involve limited processing described in the Privacy Policy.
Where can I download Shelfroom?
Shelfroom is available on the Apple App Store. A Google Play link will appear on this site once the Android release is available.
