What's New in Citrus Shelf

2.0

October 6, 2026

Your shelf, with a little more life. Artifacts that come to life Every artifact has been made again in 3D, with real materials and soft light, and each one comes to life for a moment whenever you tap it, place it or finish a book. The cat blinks and curls its tail. The fern catches a breeze. The candle's flame flickers. They're larger now too, so they hold their own beside your books. New on the shelf A tea mug, a candle and a pencil cup, each in sage, ivory or warm clay, and all yours from the start. There are more ways to make the shelf yours as well: three coats for the cat and the puppy, three leaf shapes for the plant, and new finishes for the vase, lamp, globe, hanging fern and moon mobile. Keep reading with your phone locked Start a session and lock your phone. Your timer keeps counting and your reading sound keeps playing, and a Live Activity shows the book and the time on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. A reading sound pauses your music or podcast. A better first look New readers see their shelf take shape first. Signing in stays optional. Your year in books See the books and pages you've finished this year, your progress towards a goal you choose, the genres you've read and a quiet month-by-month view. Share monthly and yearly recaps in Square, Story or the new Portrait format, with previews that appear straight away.
