Build the bookshelf you've always wanted. Shelfy turns reading into a cozy daily ritual — a beautiful private library, a focused reading timer with soundscapes, and the quotes and ideas you'll actually keep. "It just feels good to use. I catch myself opening the app instead of Instagram." — Kim T. "The shelves are so cute and customizable. Worth the annual fee." — MamaMaestraKP — YOUR PRIVATE LIBRARY — Add books by search, barcode, or photo of the cover. Watch them appear on a stunning 3D shelf you can customize end-to-end: wood textures, picture frames, statues, even the way your spines look. It's a bookshelf that finally feels like yours. — A READING RITUAL, NOT A CHORE — Start a focused reading session with ambient soundscapes — rain, cafe, fireplace, forest. Track time and pages without breaking flow. Pause when life happens, pick up where you left off. — CAPTURE WHAT YOU LOVE …
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 14 screenshots above are Shelfy: Book Tracker & TBR's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Shelfy: Book Tracker & TBR runs a light set with one background colour (#ECECE4) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #744C24, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
