Bookshelf

Where stories LIVE

What it does

I couldn't afford a proper wooden bookshelf, so I built one anyway — digitally. Bookshelf is a personal book journal, not a tracker. No ratings, no feeds. Just a quiet space for what a book leaves behind. Every book gets its own page: the cover, a bit about the author, the story behind why it was written, and the lines you never wanted to forget. Upload a cover — the app fills in the rest. You add the lines that stayed with you. Where stories rest.

A cozy, nostalgic 90s personal book journal and bookshelf diary with AI book recognition and author backstory notes.

The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
