Shellf

Shellf is a book tracker built for people who take their reading seriously — the kind who finish 50+ books a year, keep mental notes on prose style, and have outgrown Goodreads. Three things Shellf does differently: Recommendations that actually know your taste. Most book apps recommend whatever's popular. Shellf's AI is trained on YOUR library, ratings, tags, and notes. It recognises the patterns of what tickles your senses and finds books that match. The more you rate, the sharper it gets. Reading insights that tell you something. Free tools show you what happened: pages read, books finished, a pie chart of genres. Shellf Plus tells you what it means. Your reader archetype. The taste clusters hiding in your library. How your reading compares to other serious readers. What your ratings reveal about what you actually value in a book. A beautiful shelf you'll want to open. Dark, textured, typographic — designed to feel like a private library, not a social network. No feeds, no streaks, no gamification. Just your books, your data, and tools that respect your attention. Who it's for: - Readers who track everything and want their tools to keep up - Goodreads refugees tired of a stagnant product owned by Amazon - StoryGraph users who want sharper recommendations and better design - Anyone curious about the shape of their own reading life Pricing: - Free: track unlimited books, unlimited custom shelves, review, basic stats, 100 AI credits - Shellf Pro: $18/year — 2,000 AI credits, advanced insights, your annual Year in Books report Built by a solo creator who's wife begged him to build her an app that actually did she she wanted.
