Personalized AI Recommendations and Insights. For Bibliophiles.
For voracious readers who…
400+ books and you still get recommended the current bestseller list.
AI that learns the texture of your taste. Not your genres. Not your purchase history. The why behind every five-star rating.
Scattered across apps. Spreadsheets. Half-remembered shelves. Your reading life deserves better architecture.
One library to hold it all. Every title, every rating, every margin note. Gathered, organised, and beautiful.
Eighty books a year, and all you have is a number.
See the shape of your reading life. Patterns, rhythms, and revelations. Discover the reader you didn’t know you were.
Import from Goodreads, Storygraph or spreadsheets in minutes with as little as title and author. Ratings, shelves, the lot. Or just scan your book barcodes.
“It recommended Piranesi based on my love of The Secret History. I’d never have connected those two books, but the moment I started reading I understood why. It’s opened up an entire corner of fiction I didn’t know existed.”

“Every reading app I tried felt like it was designed for someone who reads ten books a year. Shellf actually understands what a large library needs.”

“The page counts and reading pace are nice, but what surprised me were the patterns. It surfaced a thread through my favourites I’d never consciously noticed — I apparently have a thing for unreliable narrators in confined spaces.”

Goodreads is an Amazon-owned social platform built around reviews and community. Shellf is built around you — your taste, your patterns, your next discovery. Our AI doesn’t recommend what’s popular. It learns the threads that connect your favourite books and follows them somewhere unexpected.
StoryGraph does mood and pace well. Shellf goes deeper. Our AI builds a model of your taste that evolves with every book you rate, looking at themes, tone, narrative style, and the connections between your favourites. The more data you feed us, the better it gets.
All your book interactions help feed the model. Books in your library — a little help. Books you rate — a lot of help. Meaningful notes and thoughts — the most help. Every time you feed us data, Shellf learns. Not just what genres you read — but why certain books resonate. The result: recommendations that feel less like an algorithm and more like intuition.
Each personalised recommendation set uses one credit. The free plan includes 100 credits — enough for months of discovery. Shellf Plus gives you 2,000 credits per year for readers who want recommendations on tap.
Yes. Import from Goodreads, StoryGraph, or any spreadsheet with as little as title and author. Ratings, shelves, and tags come across too. Most libraries import in minutes.
Completely. Shellf has no social feed, no public profiles, no followers. Your library is yours. We don’t sell data, serve ads, or share your reading habits with anyone.
The free plan is permanent — not a trial. You get unlimited book tracking, full library organisation, reading stats, and 100 AI recommendation credits. No credit card required, no time limit.
Honestly? Shellf is built for voracious readers. If you read five books a year, simpler apps will serve you fine. If you read 50+, and you’re tired of recommendations that don’t keep up — that’s exactly who we built this for.
Not yet — but soon. Join the iOS waitlist and we’ll let you know the moment it launches.
Free to download. Your first recommendations are on us.
