This app solved the problem I hadn’t yet realized I even had.
I used to update multiple apps just to keep all my trackers current. Chris is fantastic with feedback and genuinely wants to make this app into a book lover’s dream.

📚 EVERY BOOK. ONE PLACE.
The bookshelf that
keeps itself.
Your books, spine by spine, on a shelf that fills in as you read. Log progress with a photo. Import ten years of Goodreads in one upload. SHELVD does the tracking so you can do the reading.
Free forever. Paid plans from $4.83/mo.
Go ahead, tap a spine.
🔄 PUSH SYNC
Keep Goodreads. Add something nicer.
We get it. Your Goodreads shelves go back ten years. The friends, the challenges, the history.SHELVD doesn't ask you to give any of that up. Free and Plus use an explicit push when you're ready. On Pro, Shelvd writes those updates back automatically. Most trackers stop at import.
You, in SHELVD

Log it once.
Start a book, snap a Bookmark, finish it. On Free and Plus, push each supported Goodreads update when you're ready. On Pro, supported updates go automatically.
Nothing drifts.
Use the explicit push on Free and Plus. On Pro, supported updates go to Goodreads as you log them.
Your friends won't notice a thing.
Once you push an update — or Pro sends it automatically — it can keep landing in their feeds, same as always.
Read here. Sync there. Both work.
Shelvd is the only one we've found that writes back to your Goodreads shelves.
🔖 BOOKMARK
Stop typing.
Start reading.
A Bookmark is a photo of the page you're on. That's the whole job. We take it from there.
1
Snap the page
Point your camera at the page you're on (paper or Kindle). Smart detection reads the page number.
2
We log it
Shelvd calculates your pace, streak, and finish date. No page math, no forms.
3
Watch it add up
Every Bookmark sharpens your stats: pace per hour, your reading heatmap, and a finish date predicted to the day.
Current streak
🔥24days

Bookmark: snap the page, and your progress logs itself.
📊 READING ANALYTICS
Every page leaves a mark.
A heatmap of every day you read. Pace per book, down to percent per hour. A finish date that updates with every Bookmark. Stats this good are their own reason to log.

What readers are saying
Real words from real readers.
Finally an app I can track audiobooks on.
All I have to do is grab a screenshot of my audiobook, upload it, and it does all the work for me. Seriously life changing.

The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, which is easily one of my favorite features of SHELVD.

WHO MAKES THIS
Built by readers. Built to last.
Every ten-year Goodreads user asks the same fair question about a new app: will it still be here in two years? Our answer, in three parts.
Independent
An independent team, not a tech giant. Nobody pressuring us to grow fast or sell out. The only people we answer to are readers.
Reader-built
Built by a reader who got tired of waiting for Goodreads to fix itself. Email Chris directly. You'll get a reply.
Built to last
Export a Goodreads-compatible CSV from Settings > Data anytime. If we ever stop being worth it, your library comes with you.
“This kind of customer service is what earns great reviews and keeps users like me coming back.”
