Free book tracker & personal library app Every book you love, kept by a cat who never sleeps.
Well, she naps. Spellbound Shelf is the free Android app for your library, your special editions and your reading life. Spend one evening with it.
Chapter one
A new book comes home.
Open the app, point the camera at the barcode, done. Cover, edition, author and series find their own way in. Got a whole haul? Scan them back to back.
Chapter two
It finds its place.
Reading now, want to read, read, paused, or quietly DNF’d. Every book sits where it belongs, and your favourite edition stays the one in front.
Chapter three
Then you read. Late.
Log pages in a tap and keep the streak alive. When you close the last page, rate it with stars, spice and the moods it left you in. Your current read lives on your home screen too.
Chapter four
Your club is a few chapters ahead.
Book clubs where every post is gated to a chapter or a page. Tell the app where you are and everything past it stays politely blurred.
Chapter five
And at the end of the year, a story about you.
Month by month, the app keeps count. Then your reading wrap turns it into slides you’ll actually want to share: top genres, longest streak, the book that wrecked you.
Made for one hand, a dim room and one more chapter.
Four themes, from warm parchment to this one, Velvet Tome. Every screen is built for the phone first.
- Free. Actually free. No ads and no paid tiers. Tips keep the lights on if you want to leave one.
- Android first Barcode scanning and home-screen widgets on Android. Everything else works in any browser.
