Shelfie: Snap & Discover Books

Shelfie, created by book lovers, for book lovers. We’ve all been there: You’re standing in front of a bookshelf — maybe at a friend’s house, a cozy café, or that little bookstore you stumbled upon. Your eyes scan dozens of spines, and you think, “Hmm, that one looks interesting... but is it actually good?” That was exactly the inspiration behind Shelfie.

We’re passionate readers who built the tool we always wished we had. Simply scan any bookshelf with your phone, and instantly discover detailed information, reviews, and ratings for every book in view.

We're on a mission to make book discovery effortless and enjoyable. Whether you’re browsing in a bookstore, library, or friend’s living room, Shelfie helps you find books that match your interests and reading preferences.

Our app uses advanced image recognition to identify books from photos, then provides you with:

Detailed descriptions and book information. Access comprehensive plot summaries, author bios, publication details, and genre classifications all in one place. We pull from multiple trusted sources to give you the complete picture of any book.

Shelfie is built by readers. Our team understands the joy of discovering a great book and the disappointment of a poor choice. We’ve channeled that experience into creating an app that serves the reading community with genuine care and attention to detail. Join the community!
