ShelfCat

You read a lot. Books, chapters, journal articles, papers, magazines, hardbacks, paperbacks, manuscripts, letters, journals. Whether for fun, for work, or for study, we know how hard it is to keep track of what you’ve read and where it lives now.

ShelfCat helps you by keeping track of everything you read, all in one place. A central home means you can keep track of what book lives where (whether it usually goes on your bedside table, lives in an archive, or is lent out to a friend), when you read it, and what notes you’ve made on it.

Features

A better way to organise your library.

ShelfCat is a simple way to keep track of what you read and the notes you make, no matter the format. Whether you are a researcher, book-lover, or just after a good book, ShelfCat is the perfect solution.

Books, ebooks, papers, magazines, anything you can think of we can bring together into a single catalogue with a beautiful, clean interface.

Remember whether you own a book or borrowed it, what shelf you put it on or where you filed it. Never forget who you lent a book to, if you need it back.

Your notes, your way

Make new notes or connect the notes you already have. Keep the system you love.

Use the knowledge you gain

Easily cite the books in your catalogue in your preferred format. Share your reading progress and goals with friends or on social media.
