ManhwaShelf is a simple tool for tracking and organizing the manhwas you read across different websites. Instead of relying on scattered bookmarks or trying to remember your last chapter, the app lets you save links to specific series and chapters in one place. You can quickly return to exactly where you left off, even if you switch between multiple sites. With support for both a mobile app and browser extension, ManhwaShelf makes it easy to capture links while browsing and access them later in a clean, centralized shelf, so you can stay focused on reading without losing track of your progress.
