Book Shelf A reading tracker you will actually keep using
Book Shelf is the reading tracker app built into Listub. Search millions of books, keep your to-read pile organised, follow your progress page by page, rate and review what you finish and share your shelf with friends - inside the same app that runs your lists, plans and notes.
Your entire reading life, beautifully organised
A reading list app earns its place the moment adding a book takes one tap. Search millions of titles and Book Shelf fills in the cover, the author and the page count for you - so you can stop juggling a notes app, a spreadsheet and a pile of dog-eared pages.
- Search a catalogue of millions of books from every genre and language
- Covers, authors and page counts added automatically
- Statuses that match how you read: want to read, reading, finished
- Your to-read pile finally lives in one place instead of five
Progress tracking that keeps you motivated
Log the page you are on and watch the progress bar move. When you finish a book, Book Shelf completes it for you and remembers the date, so the shelf doubles as a books read tracker: a year of reading you can scroll back through.
- Track your current page with a clean progress bar per book
- Finishing a book auto-completes it and saves your finish date
- Your finished shelf becomes a reading log you can look back on
- Pick up exactly where you left off, on any device
A book club in your pocket
Books are better shared. Book Shelf can share your shelf with your Listub friends automatically, and you can follow other readers to see what they are reading, finishing and loving.
- Automatic, friends-only sharing of your shelf
- Follow friends and see their profiles and latest reads
- Share a public link with anyone, even without an account
- You stay in control: sharing is opt-in and can be turned off anytime

Why Book Shelf is the reading tracker worth switching to
Most book tracking apps feel like homework: heavy social feeds, ads and clutter wrapped around a simple wish, which is to remember what you read and what you want to read next. Book Shelf is a quiet book log app, a want-to-read queue and a progress tracker in one, with none of the noise.
And because Book Shelf lives inside Listub, the bookshelf app on your phone is the same app that holds your shopping lists, tasks, meal plans and notes - one beautiful app with a privacy-first, offline-first foundation and sync across all your devices.

Frequently asked questions
Is Book Shelf free?
Yes. Book Shelf comes with Listub, so the book tracker app is free and stays free of ads. You unlock the shelf by inviting two friends to Listub or with any Premium plan - after that it is yours.
How do I track my reading progress?
Set your current page and Book Shelf shows a progress bar per book. When you mark a book finished it completes automatically and saves the finish date.
Is there an app to track books I want to read?
That is what the want-to-read status is for. Search a catalogue of millions of books, add the ones you are curious about, and they wait in their own list with covers, authors and page counts already filled in.
Can my friends see my shelf?
Only if you want them to. You can share your shelf with your Listub friends automatically, share a public link with anyone, or keep it completely private.
Is there a book tracker app for Android?
Yes, on Android phones and tablets, and on iPhone and iPad, Windows, macOS, Linux and the web too. Your Book Shelf stays in sync on every one of them.
I already track my books somewhere else. Why move?
Because a shelf should be a shelf, not a social network: page-level progress, finish dates, ratings and private-by-default sharing, with no ads and no feed to scroll. Books are added by searching the catalogue rather than imported, so plan on adding the ones you are reading now by hand - most people start with their current reads and their want-to-read pile and let the history stay where it is.
Does Book Shelf work offline?
Yes. Like all of Listub, Book Shelf is local-first: your shelf opens instantly and works without a connection, then syncs when you are back online.
