Shelf is a reading tracker for people who want to keep a visible record of the books they finish. Add titles by scanning a barcode or entering the title, author, and page count, then sort them into Currently Reading, Want to Read, and Finished. Reading sessions can log pages and minutes, with page-by-page progress and a daily streak. A shareable Year in Books card summarizes activity, while a Home Screen widget shows the current streak. The developer says the library stays on device, with no account or ads. Shelf Pro unlocks additional card styles and themes, detailed statistics, an animated yearly recap, and widgets; the listing offers a seven-day free trial but does not state the current subscription price or billing interval. The app tracks books rather than supplying them, so users add their own titles.
