Bookshelf

A visual reading companion

Keep your books in sight.

Bookshelf keeps the books you’re reading—and the ones you just finished—in sight, like a book left on your nightstand. So even ebooks can stay with you a little longer.

For iPhone and iPad. Connect with your free Goodreads account.

Widgets that linger

Keep current reads, recent favorites, and your year in books on your Home Screen. Choose covers, spines, or lists, with reading goals a glance away. Tap a cover to return to the book.

Notice your rhythm

Revisit your reading history through covers and calendars. Explore books, pages, favorite authors, ratings, streaks, and patterns across months and years. Follow yearly book and page goals at your own pace.

Connect your free Goodreads account once with an accessible shelf RSS feed. Bookshelf brings together what you’re reading, what you’ve finished, and what you want to read. It only reads your shelves and never changes your Goodreads account.

Make yourself at home with your own accent color and light or dark appearance. Use another reading service? Let us know which one you’d like us to support.
