Unshelved

Unshelved is a reading tracker for people who like to see their books rather than scroll through a grid of covers. Inside the app, your library appears as a stack of books, and the same reading life can be put on the Home Screen as widgets.

You can log the pages you read and follow your progress through the seasons of the year. Building the library does not have to mean typing titles one by one: books can be added from photos or from screenshots. A separate queue holds what you plan to read next, so the current pile and the to-read pile stay apart.

It suits readers who want a visual record of what they have read and what is coming up, and who would rather glance at a widget than open a spreadsheet. The app is free to download, with in-app purchases.

On iPhone Duo, version 1.2.10 (October 21, 2026) reworked the layout for the larger inner display, putting the reading stack and the queue side by side and giving each book's details more room.

Features

• Your library shown as a stack of books
• Home Screen widgets for your reading
• Track pages read through the seasons
• Add books from photos or screenshots
• A separate queue for your next reads
• On iPhone Duo: reading and queue stacks side by side when unfolded

According to the release notes for version 1.2.10 (October 21, 2026), Unshelved "has been reimagined for iPhone Duo". When you unfold the phone, your collection shows the reading stack and the queue stack side by side on the 7.6-inch inner display, and opening a book shows its details in a more spacious layout. The developer does not describe a specific layout for the outer display or the half-open position. DuoDiscover has not yet tested Unshelved on an iPhone Duo.

Unshelved is developed by Abhilash Kuduvalli.
