About

Write Better, Read Better, Plan Better, and Publish Faster Be a better author by becoming a better reader. Bookshelf provides the tools in one place. Whether you're writing your first novel, taking notes on books that matter to you, or both — Bookshelf gives you the structure to think clearly and the space to create freely without any friction. WRITE WITH STRUCTURE Organise your writing into Pages and Groups — a simple but flexible hierarchy that grows with your ideas without getting in the way. Whether you're writing fiction, non-fiction, or just thinking on paper, Bookshelf adapts to how you work. READ WITH INTENTION Every book you read deserves more than a star rating. Bookshelf gives each book its own space for notes, reflections, and quotes — so the things you read actually stay with you. BUILT FOR iOS, MADE TO LAST A native iOS app designed with care — fast, intuitive, and at home on your iPhone and iPad. Your writing and notes sync seamlessly across devices with iCloud, so everything is always where you need it.

What's new · 1.4.0

- Read straight from your library. The book context menu's "Preview" is now "Read" with an open-book icon — same destination, clearer intent. - Clearer Pro gating. Premium rows in context menus (Export DOCX/EPUB/PDF, Change Cover, premium planner cards) now show a lock icon and are greyed out for free users; they snap back to the normal icon and become tappable when you subscribe. - Plan view stays useful for free users. The + menu always opens — Sources and Drafts can be added straight away; the five premium card types appear locked but visible so it's clear what's available with Pro. - Outline cleanup. Removed the "Place in Group" submenu from group/page context menus. "Move To" remains. - Cleaner subtitle editing. Editing a planner card's subtitle no longer needs the keyboard-dismiss button — just swipe down and it saves. - Richer book exports. DOCX export now includes series info, publisher/ISBN, custom fields, and copyright/dedication/blurb front-matter pages. - Visual polish. Dark mode background nudged off pure black for warmer contrast; grain texture toned down across backgrounds and onboarding.
