The Shelf
A library that looks like a library.
Spines stand, one leans, tonight's book waits on the easel. Every book you shelve takes its place on a wall worth showing — and every passage you keep is typeset like it mattered. Because it did.

The Reedr Difference
Books deserve to be beautifully kept.
A shelf, not a spreadsheet
Your library, rendered with the warmth of physical books — spines, jackets, easels, and all. Arrange it by era, mood, or colour; it is your wall to hang.
Recommendations with taste
Find your next read through people whose shelves you admire — not algorithms chasing engagement. Taste compounds when it is legible.
Quotes worth keeping
Save the lines that linger. Each one typeset into your commonplace book — beautiful enough to share, private enough to keep.
The Ritual
Four quiet steps to a well-kept library.
No streaks that shame you, no badges, no noise. Reedr asks for a few minutes when you finish a book — and gives you a room you'll want to return to for years.
Begin the ritualShelve what you’ve read
Scan a barcode, search a title, or bring your whole Goodreads history in a single import. Covers, editions, and reading dates arrive intact.
Arrange the room
Choose a shelf theme, set tonight’s book on the easel, order your spines by era, mood, or colour. The shelf should look like you.
Follow taste, not algorithms
Browse the shelves of readers you admire. When someone whose judgement you trust finishes something extraordinary, you’ll hear about it — quietly.
Keep what the books gave you
Save the passages that stopped you mid-page. Reedr typesets each one into a quote card for your commonplace book — share it, or keep it entirely yours.
From the Margins
Kept by readers who keep things.
I’ve kept a reading journal for nine years. This is the first app that didn’t make me want to go back to paper.
My shelf finally looks like mine. I sent my profile link to three friends the night I finished arranging it.
The quote cards alone. I’ve kept two hundred passages since spring — and I actually go back and read them.

Before You Ask
The practical matters.
Is my shelf public?
Private by default, always. You choose what to publish — your profile shows only the shelves you have deliberately marked public, and you can take any of them back behind the curtain at any time.
Can I bring my Goodreads or StoryGraph history?
Yes. Export your CSV and import it in one step. Reedr matches covers, editions, and reading dates automatically, and sets aside anything ambiguous for you to confirm — most libraries arrive intact in under five minutes.
Does Reedr work on my phone?
Reedr is a fast web app that installs straight to your home screen. Scan barcodes with your camera at the bookshop, shelve from the sofa — your library syncs everywhere you sign in.
What does it cost?
The essential shelf is yours from day one. Collector — unlimited shelves, advanced themes, and your year in books, beautifully bound — is a single modest subscription. The details live on the pricing page.
Do you sell my reading data?
Never. Your reading history is not inventory. No advertising, no data sales — Reedr is funded by Collector subscriptions alone, which is precisely why it can stay quiet.
What about ebooks and audiobooks?
Shelve them all. A book is a book — hardcover, paperback, ebook, or audio. Pick the edition whose cover you love and Reedr keeps the format noted alongside it.

A closing note
“The library is a place for those who believe a book is more than its content — it is an object, a memory, a self-portrait.”
