Shelfy vs Readerly

Build the bookshelf you've always wanted. Shelfy turns reading into a cozy daily ritual — a beautiful private library, a focused reading timer with soundscapes, and the quotes and ideas you'll actually keep. "It just feels good to use. I catch myself opening the app instead of Instagram." — Kim T. "The shelves are so cute and customizable. Worth the annual fee." — MamaMaestraKP — YOUR PRIVATE LIBRARY — Add books by search, barcode, or photo of the cover. Watch them appear on a stunning 3D shelf you can customize end-to-end: wood textures, picture frames, statues, even the way your spines look. It's a bookshelf that finally feels like yours. — A READING RITUAL, NOT A CHORE — Start a focused reading session with ambient soundscapes — rain, cafe, fireplace, forest. Track time and pages without breaking flow. Pause when life happens, pick up where you left off. — CAPTURE WHAT YOU LOVE — Snap a page and Shelfy turns it into a clean text quote. Save bookmarks with a tap, search across every book you've read, and stop losing the lines that mattered. — DISCOVER WHAT TO READ NEXT — Swipe through personalized recommendations tuned to your taste. Build a TBR pile that actually excites you instead of one you keep avoiding. — STATS THAT MOTIVATE, NOT GUILT-TRIP — Daily, monthly, and yearly reading stats. Reading speed, longest streaks, favorite genres. A Year in Review that's actually fun to share. Earn achievements as you go. — A SMART READING COMPANION — Ask questions about any book as you read. Get a plot recap when a side character returns 200 pages later. Discuss themes, explore ideas, and remember more. — IMPORT YOUR BOOKS — Coming from Goodreads or StoryGraph? Bring your entire library, ratings, and shelves in one tap. We even auto-detect series and add the missing volumes. — READS LIKE A PHYSICAL BOOK SHOULD FEEL — Saw a book on TikTok or Reels? Share the video to Shelfy and we'll add it to your shelf. iCloud sync keeps your library identical on every device. Widgets, Siri shortcuts, and a yearly challenge keep reading top of mind. Shelfy is a subscription-first reading app, built and supported by a tiny indie team who reply to every email. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't gamify reading into a chore. We just want you to fall back in love with books. Start your shelf today. — Shelfy Pro subscription unlocks all features. TERMS: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

You know roughly how much you read. Readerly tells you exactly. Readerly turns your reading history into a clear picture of your reading life: how your pace changes through the year, what you reach for, which authors you return to, when you read most, and how this year compares with every year before it. Save Private Notes & Quotes, too, so the parts of a book you want to remember stay with your reading life. No account. No sign-in. Your library stays on your iPhone. WHY THE NUMBERS HOLD UP A chart is only useful if the number under it is right. Audiobooks are counted in hours. Insight cards show the evidence behind what they say: how many sessions contributed, what window was measured, and whether there is enough data to support the result. If there is not, Readerly says so instead of inventing an average. Your reading data also outranks the catalog. If you are on page 628 of a book a database says has 623 pages, Readerly accepts 628 and offers to correct the book length. Reopen any reading session and change the date, pages or minutes. Start and finish dates are yours to set. Correcting your own reading history is never behind Readerly Pro.

It also includes thirteen additional Library wallpapers. Unlock deeper charts and insights, including reading momentum, daily rhythm, the hours and weekdays you read, genre currents, per-book reading journeys, genre mix, rating shape, author affinity, completion patterns, length versus rating, a six-axis taste profile, and a deck of the strongest insights your history can support. Choose any month and tap pages or listening bars to see the books behind your totals. Tap a rating, author or genre to see the books behind the number. Share your reading highlights. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your books, sessions, ratings, notes, quotes, dates and progress live in a private database on your iPhone. Book lookup sends only what identifies the book, such as an ISBN or title and author. No ads. No third-party analytics. No tracking. AI IS OPTIONAL Readerly includes two optional AI tools on the import screen, and neither runs unless you ask. It can send titles and authors of uncategorized books to Anthropic's Claude to suggest a genre from Readerly's fixed list, or send your file's column names and limited samples to suggest how they map. Readerly asks first and tells you what will be sent. Readerly Pro is an auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription at the price shown before purchase.
