Organize, Track & Discover Books

Challenge

When your library turns into a pile

You love books, but your collection is disorganized. You buy duplicates, lose track of what you own, and can’t remember what you’ve read or where it is. Books are scattered, lent out, or missing. Recommendations miss the mark, and when you move, you have no clear record of your collection or its value.

No items found.
Results

Your books, within reach

Shelfmark brings your library back under control. You can instantly check what you own, avoid duplicates, and find any book. Your collection is organized by location, loans are tracked, and your reading history is preserved. Recommendations finally match your taste, and your next read is always clear.

Accounts & Sharing

Private by design

Accounts & Access
An account is required to build, organize, and access your personal library in Shelfmark, including your books, notes, and reading history.

Private by Default
Your library is private by default and only visible to you and the people you choose to share it with. Shelfmark is not a public social network and does not display your collection to strangers.

Sharing & Collaboration
You may choose to share parts of your library with others. You control who has access and can update or remove permissions at any time.

Control & Deletion
You can leave shared spaces, remove collaborators, or delete your account at any time. Account deletion is available within the app, and your data will be removed in accordance with our data retention practices, except where required for legal or security purposes.

Content & AI

You stay in control

You Stay in Control
You can add books, notes, and personal entries to your library. AI tools may assist with cataloging, organizing, and generating recommendations, but you decide what is saved.

Your Library, Your Voice
You remain the owner of your content, including your notes, collections, and personal organization.

AI as a Guide
Shelfmark’s AI helps you discover, organize, and reconnect with your reading. It does not publish or share your content without your permission.

Your Data Is Not Used to Train AI
We do not use your private library, notes, or personal content to train generative AI models. Your data stays yours.

A Thoughtful Space
We provide tools to report misuse and maintain a respectful environment for all users.
