Why readers want it

Books live everywhere. StoryShelf pulls them back together.

Scan physical books, import your reading history, save what matches your mood, and stop juggling screenshots, spreadsheets, and scattered apps.

Built for habit
  • Track your library, TBR, and finished reads
  • Get recommendations that respect what you already own
  • Save content boundaries and filter gently
  • Follow readers and authors in one shared space
Good for demos

This live prototype now includes a front door, a waitlist form, and demo sign-up and sign-in screens so investors and backers see a fuller product story right away.

What makes it different

Not just another book tracker.

StoryShelf is designed as the operating system for a reader's life: utility first, identity-rich, and built to grow into community, creator, and commerce loops.

Unified shelf

One home for physical books, ebooks, and audiobook history, complete with shelf styling and custom organization.

Mood engine

Discovery starts with how you want a book to feel, not just its category or bestseller rank.

Reader-safe discovery

Saved content boundaries let readers ask for warnings or strict filtering without losing the nuance of their own phrasing.

Community and authors

Readers and authors share one social layer instead of splintering conversation across separate platforms.

Waitlist
