About Bookshelf

Bookshelf is a reading tracker for iPhone and iPad, developed by Alexander Gerrese and listed on the App Store as free with in-app purchases. Users can record books they have read, are reading, or want to read, and track reading stats, goals, and notes. Existing libraries can be imported from Goodreads, Kindle, StoryGraph, or Reading List.

Several features are marked as requiring Bookshelf Gold for access or unlimited use, including Smart Notes, Knowledge Quizzes, Reading Reminders, Cloud Sync, and Library Export.
