This app solved the problem I hadn’t yet realized I even had.
I used to update multiple apps just to keep all my trackers current. Chris is fantastic with feedback and genuinely wants to make this app into a book lover’s dream.
Your books, spine by spine, on a shelf that fills in as you read. Log progress with a photo. Import ten years of Goodreads in one upload. SHELVD does the tracking so you can do the reading.
Free forever. Paid plans from $4.80/mo.
Go ahead, tap a spine.
We get it. Your Goodreads shelves go back ten years. The friends, the challenges, the history. SHELVD doesn't ask you to give any of that up. Free and Plus use an explicit push when you're ready. On Pro, Shelvd writes those updates back automatically. Most trackers stop at import.

Updated automatically on Pro
Start a book, snap a Bookmark, finish it. On Free and Plus, push each supported Goodreads update when you're ready. On Pro, supported updates go automatically.
Use the explicit push on Free and Plus. On Pro, supported updates go to Goodreads as you log them.
Once you push an update — or Pro sends it automatically — it can keep landing in their feeds, same as always.
Read here. Sync there. Both work.
Shelvd is the only one we've found that writes back to your Goodreads shelves.
A Bookmark is a photo of the page you're on. That's the whole job. We take it from there.
A heatmap of every day you read. Pace per book, down to percent per hour. A finish date that updates with every Bookmark. Stats this good are their own reason to log.

Update a book once in SHELVD (started, progress, finished) and send supported updates to Goodreads, StoryGraph, Hardcover, and Pagebound. Four platforms. One update. Zero copy-pasting.
And when Shelfie Sunday rolls around, your spine shelf is already feed-ready.
Free: push three Goodreads books at a time. Plus: unlimited manual Goodreads pushes and StoryGraph, Hardcover, and Pagebound automation. Pro: Goodreads becomes automatic.
The rest of the toolkit: bring your library with you, keep the habit visible, and read with people you actually know.
Bring your library from Goodreads or StoryGraph CSV. Ratings, read dates, shelves and all.
Watch your daily streak grow, and see every reading day on a year-long heatmap. Miss a day? We show you what it did to your pace.
Join clubs free, read together, and see who's keeping up on the leaderboard. Pro readers can run their own.
Fix metadata, merge duplicates, archive what you're done with. Your library, your rules.
No credit card required
Native apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Same shelf, same stats, plus the camera tricks only a phone can do.
Point your phone at the page and your progress logs itself (paper or Kindle, same trick).
A widget keeps your spines in view and your streak honest, no app-opening required.
Log it on your phone and it's already on your laptop and in your stats. Push it to Goodreads when you're ready.
Free to download. Your shelf syncs the moment you sign in.
From readers
Real words from real readers.
This app solved the problem I hadn’t yet realized I even had.
I used to update multiple apps just to keep all my trackers current. Chris is fantastic with feedback and genuinely wants to make this app into a book lover’s dream.
Finally an app I can track audiobooks on.
All I have to do is grab a screenshot of my audiobook, upload it, and it does all the work for me. Seriously life changing.
The interface is user-friendly and intuitive, which is easily one of my favorite features of SHELVD.
Start free, no credit card. Upgrade when your shelf outgrows it. Cancel in one click. We prorate.
Every ten-year Goodreads user asks the same fair question about a new app: will it still be here in two years? Our answer, in three parts.
An independent team, not a tech giant. Nobody pressuring us to grow fast or sell out. The only people we answer to are readers.
Built by a reader who got tired of waiting for Goodreads to fix itself. Email Chris directly. You'll get a reply.
Export a Goodreads-compatible CSV from Settings > Data anytime. If we ever stop being worth it, your library comes with you.
“This kind of customer service is what earns great reviews and keeps users like me coming back.”
Setup takes minutes: import your library, snap your first Bookmark, and watch the spines line up.
