Shelf Life is private and local by design.

No need for a user account and there are no sync servers. Your library lives on your device. All files stay on your device or on your local network. We do not collect any analytics, we do no tracking, and there are no third-party SDKs. And of course there are no ads.

Track your book library

Search by title or ISBN, then save what you're reading, what you've finished, and what you want to read in the future. Covers and metadata come from public catalogs, and you can add your own custom ebook covers and even add custom books.

Send to Kobo

Drop an epub onto a book and Shelf Life can serve it to your Kobo's built-in browser over your home Wi-Fi. No need for cables, no Adobe Digital Editions, no cloud uploads on a strange server. You just open the local URL on your Kobo and tap download.
