MediaShelf

Available on iPhone

Your physical media,
beautifully catalogued.

Finally, your whole collection lives right in your pocket. Scan any barcode and MediaShelf does the rest, pulling in covers and details for your books, vinyl, CDs, DVDs, games, and everything in between. Out shopping? One glance tells you if you already own it — so you never end up with a second copy again. Keep a Wishlist of what you're after, discover your next favorite through New York Times lists and Staff Picks, and rest easy knowing it all stays private on your device.

Scan any barcode

Point your camera at a book, record, disc, or game and MediaShelf reads the barcode in an instant. No typing, no fuss — just scan and it's in your collection.

Rich details, automatically

Every scan pulls title, author or artist, cover art, year, and more from online catalogues automatically — so your library looks complete with zero effort from you.

Never buy it twice

Carry your collection to the shop and a glance tells you if it's already on your shelf — or your Wishlist. The duplicate copy you bought by accident? Never again.

A real Wishlist

Track the titles you're still hunting for — something other catalogue apps leave out. Spot one in the wild, know it's on your list, and move it to your shelf once it's yours.

Private by design

Your collection lives on your device. No account, no cloud sync, no data shared with us or anyone else. Your library is nobody's business but yours.

Made to look beautiful

Choose your theme and text style — from understated Black Tie to rich Royal Purple — with cover art and typography that make browsing your collection a pleasure, not a spreadsheet.

Scan it. Keep it. Never lose track.

Carry your whole library in your pocket. Free on the App Store.
