## What is ShelfLog?

ShelfLog turns your personal library into a social lending circle. Catalogue the books you own, connect with friends, and track every book you lend or borrow — so you never lose a book to a forgotten loan again.

ADD YOUR SHELF IN SECONDS
• Search any title or author
• Scan a book's barcode with your camera
• Snap a photo of your bookshelf and let AI identify the books for you

LEND WITH CONFIDENCE
• Log who borrowed each book and when it's due
• Approve or decline borrow requests from friends
• Get reminders before a loan runs overdue
• See your full lending history at a glance

BORROW FROM FRIENDS
• Browse your friends' shelves
• Request a book in one tap
• Join a waitlist when a book is already out
• Ask for an extension when you need more time

CONNECT YOUR CIRCLE
• Invite friends with a personal link
• Find friends already on ShelfLog
• Discover people you may know through mutual friends
• Keep a wishlist of books you're hoping to read

EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
• Rate and review the books you've read
• Follow an activity feed of what friends add and return
• Your library stays private — visible only to friends you approve

ShelfLog is free. Sign in with Apple, Google, or email.

Lend books. Stay friends. Never lose track.
