Shelfie is a calm, private home for the books you own. Catalogue titles, remember where they live on your shelves, curate lists, and keep lending straight—all on your iPhone and iPad. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add books by scanning the ISBN barcode or entering details manually • Pull in titles, authors, covers, and more from public book databases (Open Library, with Google Books as a fallback when information is thin) • Track reading status: waiting, reading, or finished • Organize with custom lists—including Favorites out of the box • Map books to physical shelves and optional shelf photos • Log loans: who borrowed what and when you expect it back • Attach your own cover, shelf, or in-book photos from camera or library • Search across titles, authors, notes, series, and borrower names • See simple stats: book count, total pages, and approximate storage for images PRIVATE & YOURS Your library syncs through iCloud using CloudKit. Data is tied to your Apple ID and stored in your private database—we don’t run our own servers for your catalogue. LANGUAGES English and Turkish interface. REQUIREMENTS Sign in to iCloud on your device for sync. An internet connection is needed to look up book metadata and covers. ATTRIBUTION Book information and cover art may come from Open Library and other public sources; respective providers may apply their own terms.
