Living Shelf is a reading companion built around a 3D bookshelf: track the books you read, own and want to read, time reading sessions, keep a reading journal and quotes, import your existing library, discover books and look back on your reading.
Book information comes from public catalogs. Titles, authors, descriptions and covers are provided by Google Books and Open Library and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Cover images and book descriptions belong to their respective rights holders and are shown for identification only.
Living Shelf Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription (weekly, monthly or yearly) and as a one-time lifetime purchase. The yearly plan may include a free trial for eligible new subscribers; if you do not cancel before the trial ends, the subscription starts and payment is charged. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. The lifetime purchase is a single payment with no renewal.
Without Pro, Living Shelf works as a Free Preview with limits (for example on the number of books, shelf themes, soundscapes and quote scans). Limits may change over time.
