Shelfieline

v1.3: Share your shelf to social, view covers in a grid, and bulk-move books between shelves. All free.

Your private study, in your pocket.

Shelfieline is an iPhone / iPad app that turns reading from a list-management chore into a personal experience. We've recreated a real bookshelf in digital form — spine textures, varying book heights, the heft of the shelf itself, all carefully redrawn. The dark, "private den" aesthetic is built for readers who care about how their library looks.

▼ Key Features

【Study Carousel】Multiple bookshelves arranged side-by-side. Swipe left and right to switch. Adjacent shelves peek in from both sides so you see your whole collection at a glance.

【Bookshelf Detail】Your books displayed as realistic spines. Pinch to zoom — rows recalculate automatically based on book count. Letterpress-style title and author detail, with paper / cloth / leather material rendering for each book.

【Three Ways to Add Books】 ・Scan ISBN barcode (auto-fills bibliographic info) ・Manually enter title / author ・Share a cover image from Safari → assign to a book in-app

▼ Design

Built around the idea of a "private den," with a neon-sign launch screen reminiscent of an underground bar, a pure-black background that lets the books float, and a choice of walnut or ebony shelf themes. Spines render in three materials (paper / cloth / leather), with details like gold-foiled titles, ribbon bookmarks, and weathering for a sense of presence.
