Treat Your Shelf
i

A bookshelf for readers

Track what you read. Find what's next.

A quiet, well-kept shelf for the books you've finished, the ones you're in the middle of, and the ones still waiting their turn.

What it does

A shelf that remembers, sorts, and suggests.

Three things, done well. No streaks, no leaderboards. Just a place to keep your reading life in order.

01 Filed under · the collection

Track your collection.

Title, author, format, rating, and status. Kept in one quiet place, the way a real shelf would.

02 Filed under · reading lists

Build reading lists.

Curated stacks for moods, projects, or seasons. Make one for the cottage, one for the commute.

03 Filed under · suggestions

Get smart suggestions.

Recommendations from what's already on your shelf, not what's trending elsewhere.

A specimen shelf

This is what a shelf looks like.

Each book gets a card. Cover, title, author, a rating in gold if you'd like, and a small chip for where it sits in your reading life.

How it works

From empty shelf to well-kept library, in four small moves.

No spreadsheets, no importing, no one asking for your reading goals.

i. Sign up

Open the front cover.

Email and a password. No phone number, no plan to choose.

ii. Add a book

Catalog the first one.

Search a title, pick a cover, set the status. Or just stamp it "to read."

iii. Make a list

Bind a few together.

A summer pile. A book-club queue. A list for the bedside table.

iv. Take a hint

Hear a quiet whisper.

Once there's a shelf to read from, suggestions arrive. Quietly.

Your next good book is already somewhere on your list.

Make a little room on the shelf. We'll keep it tidy.
