Keep track of every book you own, read and want to read. Build shelves that fill themselves, follow curated reading lists, share with the people you read with, and keep your ebooks safe in one place.
One place for the paperbacks on your shelves, the ebooks on your devices and the lists you mean to read through.
Search your library, the shared catalog and the world's book indexes at once. Whatever you find is filled in automatically: cover, synopsis, genres and series.
Mark books as Want to Read, Reading, Read or simply Own. Rate them, keep your dates, and watch your reading history grow.
Group books however you like, or let a shelf keep itself up to date: every book by an author, on a reading list, or shared with a friend.
Follow lists like the best books of the century or a series in reading order, and add a whole list to your shelves at once.
Share a book, a shelf, a list or your whole library. Recommend books to friends, and run a book club with nominations and votes.
Upload your EPUB, Kindle and PDF files. Shelves stores them securely, converts between formats, and lets you download them wherever you read.
Search by title, author or ISBN, or upload the ebook itself. Shelves finds the right edition.
Mark where you are with it, rate it, and drop it on any shelf, or let a shelf pick it up.
Send it to a friend, recommend it, or put it up for your book club's next read.
Download your file in EPUB, PDF or Kindle format, whatever your reader takes.
Suggestions for what to read next, or a home for your files.
Everything you need to keep track of your books.
Everything in Free, plus a reader's assistant.
Everything in Curated, plus a home for your files.
Shelves exists because a reading life is bigger than any one app's store: the paperbacks on your shelves, the ebooks scattered across devices, the list a friend swore you'd love and the series you mean to finish. We built one place for all of it, around a catalog everyone shares and improves, so every book only has to be described once and everyone benefits.
Free to start. Questions, ideas or a book that won't match? We'd like to hear from you.
