## What is Shelf?

-View your top artists and genres.
-Scroll a chronological history of what you’ve watched and read.
-Keep a living record of your cultural life.

Get personalized recaps

Unlock experiences powered by your Shelf

Customize your profile
-Personalize your Shelf so it reflects who you are.

Your data, on your terms
-Private by default. You control what’s connected and what’s visible. Your history stays yours.
-We safeguard your data with cutting-edge encryption tech.
-The creators of Shelf are pioneers behind people taking back control of their data from the big platforms. We’re data rights activists and will fight (and build) until we all have control and ownership over our own data (see more here: https://share.shelf.im/data-rights).

Shelf grows with you.
-The more you add, the clearer the patterns become. The more complete your Shelf, the more it understands your taste.
-It’s not another recommendation feed or social app. It’s a living record of what you’ve been into— and what that says about you.

Shelf is created by a team in NYC and loved by people across the world! Featured in TechCrunch, Business Insider, Harvard Business Review and more.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-25, version 2.0.16*

No fee and straight to the chase 100/10

### 4/5 — great app!

*2026-08-24, version 2.0.16*

would prefer it allow me to manually add songs though, hopefully they update it soon 🤞

### 4/5 — Amazing but could be improved no hate 🩷

*2026-08-23, version 2.0.16*

It such a cool app but I miss when we could follow our friends and put emojis on our and others stuff

### 5/5 — Cablecar

*2026-08-20, version 2.0.15*

Absolutely class

### 5/5 — aesteric

*2026-08-19*

amo esse app aesteric

### 1/5 — ???

*2026-08-19, version 2.0.15*

the app isn’t tracking my info accurately at all, i inserted apple music and it says i have TWENTY FIVE minutes of listening when that’s not true at all??

### 4/5 — Let me customize more!

*2026-08-18, version 2.0.15*

I like the app, I wish it was a bit easier to connect to YouTube and Netflix. I also wish it was easier to delete shows and movies you put up on your shelf. And my main problem is that I really want more colors for the home screen. Like no I don’t want the brat green I want gray. Give me gray! Better yet give me black!

### 4/5 — Very cool

*2026-08-17*

I have only had this app for maybe a week or so, and though I haven’t used it much, it’s fun ! My only problem is my Disney+ WILL NOT CONNECT 😣😣 I log in just fine but when I click on my profile it opens and then just puts me back onto the profile choosing page. I’ve logged in multiple times and clicked on it multiple times, it does the same thing. I think that’s also one of the reasons I haven’t used it too much because I have just watched all of the mcu and many other things on Disney plus and I’d like the app to know that… I haven’t put all my reviews on letterboxd yet because I was going to rewatch the movies for better reviews, so it doesn’t know everything about me yet since I can’t connect it. Other than that, I do really like this app (even with my little use of it) because it’s a very interesting idea and the way it was executed is quite nice.

### 3/5 — Buggy but I see the fun

*2026-08-16, version 2.0.15*

It’s a little buggy like I can’t update my photo or connect all apps and I think it it uses ai and some of the copy feels a bit slop (like Spotify day list titles) that said I can see how it’s fun to track media and as the AI improves have a better functionality for personality tests/quizzes etc

### 4/5 — noteeees

*2026-08-13, version 2.0.14*

I like this app SO MUCH!! but it would be great to add a function to write feelings/emotions/reviews on movies and tv shows🫶🏼
