Virtual bookshelf
A digital bookshelf you can make your own
Most book apps give you a list. ShelfGarden puts your books on wooden shelves, with the covers facing out or the spines lined up, and lets you decide how each shelf looks.
Try the options
These are the same choices you get on every shelf. Switch between covers, spines and a mix, change the finish, and add a piece of decor.
What you can change
Covers, spines or mixed
Show full covers, original spines drawn for each book in colors taken from its cover, or a few covers featured among spines. You can also set it book by book.
Finishes
Oak, walnut, whitewashed birch, ebony or stone. Apply one to a single shelf or to all of them at once.
Decor
A candle, potted ivy or a lantern on any shelf for free. Lamps, plants, bookends and more are planned as part of a paid plan.
Backdrops and scenes
Choose the wall behind your shelves, from plain parchment to painted stone, and a day or night look. The garden and library scenes are free.
Book size
Compact, standard or grand, so a big collection can fit on screen or a small one can take up room.
Books without covers
If no cover is available, the book gets its own colored spine instead of a blank placeholder.
Arrange books in your own order
On a computer, drag books along a shelf or onto another one. On a phone, use the book's menu to move it left, right or to a different shelf. Your order stays even when you sort by title or date for a while. Shelves can be moved up and down the page too.
Adding books
Books come in from screenshots you choose or from a StoryGraph export file. Every book you keep can be put on any number of your own shelves. Searching for a book and adding it by hand isn't available yet.
What this isn't
ShelfGarden is a page of shelves, not a 3D room or a room designer. It's built to be quick to scroll on a phone.
Set up your shelves
A free account includes unlimited shelves and the free finishes, decor and scenes.
