Your reading list · Your cloud

Save anything.
Read it later.

Shelf is a read-it-later app that stores your articles in your own Google Drive — not our servers. No lock-in. Your data, always yours.

No credit card required · Bring your own storage

Stored in your Drive

Every article you save lives in a folder in your Google Drive. We hold only the metadata needed to find it. Pull the plug on us any time — your library stays.

Collections

Group articles into named collections. Share a reading list with a link, or invite specific people by email — with or without a Shelf account.

Clean reader

Every page is stripped to just the words. No ads, no clutter, no cookie banners. Reading the way it should be.

How it works

1

Connect Google Drive

Link your Google account once. Shelf gets access only to files it creates — nothing else.

2

Save a URL

Paste any link into Shelf. We fetch the article, clean it up with Readability, and store it as a JSON file in your Drive.

3

Read anywhere

Open Shelf on web or mobile. Your library is always in sync — sourced live from your Drive.

Your shelf is waiting.
