A little help for your library.
Getting started, keeping a backup, and looking after your records.
Which platforms can I download it on?
Shelfolio is being released for iPhone, iPad and Android. As checked on September 14, 2026, iOS 0.1.0 is waiting for App Store review and the Google Play public listing is not accessible from our check. Public download links will be added to the homepage when available. The native Mac version is still under validation and has no supported Pro purchase path.
What is included in Free and Pro?
Free supports up to 50 owned books, manual entry, single-book scanning, shelves and lending, CSV import and export, saved filters and batch organization. Pro adds unlimited books, batch scanning, PDF / HTML catalogs, full backup and restore, and optional cloud sync. Pro is offered monthly, yearly or as a lifetime purchase; prices and trial eligibility are shown by your store before purchase.
Can iCloud and Google Drive sync with each other?
No. iOS uses your private iCloud library; Android uses private Google Drive app data. These cloud libraries are separate. Cloud sync requires Pro. Turning it off keeps your local books.
Does the sample library charge me?
No. Free and Pro in the sample library demonstrate capabilities without making a purchase or changing your real-library entitlement.
How do I restore or manage Pro?
Use Restore purchases with the same store account. Manage monthly or yearly subscriptions in App Store or Google Play account settings. A lifetime purchase does not automatically cancel an existing subscription, and purchases do not transfer between the two stores.
How do I add my first book?
Open your library and choose the add-book action. Enter a title manually, or scan an ISBN when camera scanning is available. Check edition details before saving. You can keep entering books without online lookup.
Can I use it offline?
You can view, search, and edit saved local records offline. Online catalog lookup, optional iCloud / Google Drive sync, and App Store / Google Play purchase services require a network connection.
How do I back up my collection?
With Pro, use the full-backup option to export library records and cover images. Keep the file somewhere you trust. CSV is useful for a book list, but is not a complete library backup. Review a backup before restoring it.
What if I deleted a book?
Check Recently deleted and restore the record if it is still available. Recovery history and earlier full backups may offer other copies. Avoid replacing your only good backup when troubleshooting.
How do I manage data and permissions?
Edit or delete records in the app and change camera, photo, or notification permissions in system settings. Disabling optional iCloud or Google Drive sync does not erase cloud data. See the privacy policy for retention and deletion details.
