ManiShelf vs Otalku

I had 20+ tabs and bookmarks for manga, manhwa, and anime scattered across browsers, and a spreadsheet that wasn't pretty or functional. So I made the app I wanted: one place for everything I'm reading and watching. ManiShelf lives on your iPhone and manages your entire collection of manga, manhwa, light novels, and anime. No account, no subscription, no telemetry. Your data lives on your device - not on a server that could disappear tomorrow. KEY FEATURES: • Import your existing collections with scores and progress. Add new titles directly from the menu bar, or paste any link and the app will suggest adding it and attach the source so you can find it later. Covers, descriptions, scores, voice actor cast for anime, linked titles - it's all there. • Optional iCloud sync between all your Apple devices • Set up a custom release schedule for Manhwa and be notified when a new chapter drops. Automatic notifications for new anime episodes with no setup. Pick any notification sound you like, or none at all. • Organize your collection with tags and filters: In Progress, Backlog, Dropped, On Hold. Save your custom filter setups and reuse them anytime. Just added 8 seasons of your favorite anime? The app offers to group them under one card while still letting you rate each season individually. Incognito mode hides selected titles from the grid on launch. ;) • Browse your statistics and get personalized recommendations based on your taste. Export to JSON, XML, or CSV. Back up or share your library with friends. PS: ManiShelf isn't a reader - it's the cozy shelf where your collection lives. PPS: If you find a bug, please reach out at https://oitoana.dev/contact
