My Little Shelf
a visual diary of everything you’ve read
A reading library and journal for iPhone. Less a database of books, more a tiny bookshop that happens to live in your pocket.
Books, face out
Covers are the whole point, so your books stand face-out on painted planks — with a plant, a candle or a sleeping cat tucked in at the end. When the shelf outgrows the covers, older books file themselves away side-on as spines, the way a real one does.

Room for your own words
Rate in half stars. Keep the line you underlined. Note where you heard about a book and why you saved it — and, if it comes to it, why you put it down.
setting a book down is not failing at it
A goal, gently
Pick a number of books for the month and watch a small shelf fill, one spine at a time. Streaks are counted in weeks rather than days, because a book takes weeks to read and a daily streak would sit empty most of the time.
Nobody is watching
No analytics. No tracking. No advertising. No third-party anything — not because it was switched off, but because it was never built. Your library lives on your phone and in your own account, and your notes are read by you alone.
