## What is BoxShelf?

Your shelved collections deserve to be seen - even when no one's around to see them!

BoxShelf transforms your collections into stunning virtual bookcases with warm wooden shelves, rich 3D box models, and the deeply satisfying feel of flipping through your games anytime, anywhere. This is the collection manager built for collectors.

BROWSE LIKE IT'S REAL

See your games exactly as they sit on your shelf. BoxShelf places each title spine-out or cover-forward on horizontally-scrollable wooden shelves, so browsing feels as natural as reaching for a box. Swipe between bookcases with a flick, and let your collection greet you the way it does when you walk into the room.

SCAN ANY BOX IN SECONDS

Point your camera at any game box face and BoxShelf does the rest. The built-in scanner auto-crops your image, includes a precision magnifier loupe for perfect alignment, and supports LED flash for scanning in low light. Every scratch, every crease, every price tag from the store makes your collection uniquely yours.

FULLY ROTATABLE 3D MODELS

Every game in your collection becomes a three-dimensional box you can hold in your hands… virtually. Pinch to zoom, drag to rotate, and inspect every face just as you would with the real thing. It's as close as we could get to reaching into your shelf from your phone.

ORGANIZE YOUR ENTIRE LIBRARY

Create as many bookcases as you'd like! Assign games to specific shelves, and set exact box dimensions so every title sits true to size. BoxShelf supports multiple box types: Big Box, Small Box, DVD Case, Jewel Case, and Custom - each rendered faithfully on your shelves.

BUILT FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS

Adding your hundredth game? Your thousandth? Import your entire collection at once using a CSV file, with shelf assignments already mapped. Your data stays safe and accessible with full JSON backup and restore, plus (optional) seamless iCloud sync across all your devices.

BoxShelf was made by and for the people who treat their shelves as a display, a conversation piece, and a source of joy. Give your physical collections the virtual home they deserve.
