ShelfyHub is the app for physical video game collectors who want to finally have their library under control. Whether you have five games or five hundred, keeping track of formats, platforms, regions, and ratings across your shelf is harder than it sounds. ShelfyHub makes it simple. - Scan or add manually. Point your camera at any barcode and ShelfyHub pulls in the game details automatically. Prefer to do it by hand? No problem — you can add any title manually in seconds. - Your collection, your way. Log the format (cartridge, disc, digital), region (PAL, NTSC), your personal rating, hours played, times completed, purchase date, and where you bought it. Every game gets the context it deserves. - Track your hardware too. Consoles, handhelds, accessories — scan or search to add them to a dedicated Hardware collection. Add cover photos, condition ratings, and notes, or drop them into your Wishlist. - Mark your favourites. Bookmark the games you love and filter your library to see only the ones that matter most. - Built for collectors. Browse by platform, search by title, and get a full picture of your collection through built-in stats. See how many games you own, which platforms dominate your shelf, and how far you've come. - Free to start. Collect up to 30 games for free. When your shelf grows, upgrade to Pro and collect without limits. ShelfyHub is for the people who still believe physical games are worth collecting — and worth remembering.
