Shelfless vs Booklore

Stop scrolling through lists. Start seeing your library. Shelfless turns your reading history into a beautiful, visual bookshelf. No more boring spreadsheets or text-only trackers—just your books, your taste, and your journey.

Every book you read, one tap away. Booklore is a reading log for people who would rather be reading: add a book, log your page, close the app. No sign-up stands between you and your first book, and your library lives on your phone. On the shelf • Find books by title, author or ISBN, or scan the barcode on the back cover • Shelves for Reading, Want to Read, Read, Paused and Did Not Finish, plus your own shelves and tags • Rate in half-stars, from ½ to 5, and tag a book's mood and pace • Print books, e-books and audiobooks side by side, with rereads counted At the page • Log progress with one tap (¼, ½, ¾, Finished) or type the exact page • Reading an e-book or listening to an audiobook?
