About ReadShelf
Our Story
ReadShelf started with a simple frustration: tracking books shouldn't be harder than reading them. As avid readers ourselves, we tried Goodreads, Bookly, StoryGraph — and none of them gave us what we wanted: a simple timer, beautiful monthly stats, and an annual Wrapped we could actually share. So we built it. ReadShelf is an independent project made by readers, for readers. No venture capital, no ads, no data selling. Just a love of books and a belief that reading more makes life better.
