Privacy Policy

Updated September 18, 2026

What this app is

Shelfie is a private bookshelf and reading log. Books, notes, photos, named shelves, and reading history stay on the device. There is no account and no sign-in.

What stays on the device

The following are stored on this device only:

  • Titles, authors, ratings, and notes
  • Reading sessions, goals, and shelf layout
  • Named shelves and decoration choices
  • Photos you add
  • ZIP archive files you save yourself
  • Sheets balance used for extra shelves and decor

Clearing local data or removing the app deletes that copy. Shelfie does not run a cloud library.

Permissions

Each permission is used only for the matching action. The table below is the full set.

Permission When it is used What leaves the device
Camera You photograph a book spine, cover, or page edge The photo stays on this device
Photo library You tap Choose Book Photo The photo you select stays on this device
Microphone and speech You dictate into the current note Used to fill that note on this device
App Tracking The system prompt at launch No profile is sold or shared
Notifications The system prompt after tracking Only if you allow reminders

Purchases

Optional gift packs are consumable. They refill Sheets on this device so you can create extra named shelves or expand decor slots beyond the free Home Shelf. Payment is handled by Apple.

  • Saving or restoring a ZIP archive is free and does not spend Sheets.
  • There is no Restore Purchases button.
  • Purchased Sheets cannot be recovered after the app is removed or local data is cleared. Complimentary Sheets return when you open the app again after a local wipe.

Children

Shelfie is a personal reading log. It is not directed at children, and it does not ask for an account.
