Shelfie a shelf
Phone parallel to the row, fire one shot. Sixty cases come back as sixty rows.
Physical media is back. Your catalog should be too.
The Criterion wall. The 4K shelf. The season-pack tower. Photograph it. We read every spine and pull director, year, and runtime from TMDB (so you stop typing slipcover info into Letterboxd at 1 a.m.). Streaming makes you a renter. This is what you own.

Glance at the slipcovers
Indicator, Arrow, and Vinegar Syndrome boxes get a yellow band. Two taps clean them up.

Browse like it is yours
Filter by director, decade, format. Movie nights pick themselves. Lend a season pack and remember who has it.
Streaming makes you a renter.
The film leaves the platform, your watchlist gets a strikethrough, you discover this when you sit down to watch it on a Friday. (You know the feeling.)
Physical media does not do that. The case is on the shelf. The catalog should be too.
A real catalog lets you
- →Find that Criterion you bought in the half-off flash sale and forgot about
- →Stop buying the boutique re-release because you forgot you have the original
- →Plan movie night around what you actually own, not what is left on streaming
- →Lend a season pack and remember who has it
- →Hand a friend your shelf link and say "pick anything"

Common questions
Boutique labels (Criterion, Arrow, Indicator). Will it pick those up?▾
Short answer: yes. The same spine reader that handles antiquarian books handles slipcovers and OOP boxes. Anything it cannot resolve gets a yellow band and a two-tap fix.
Do you handle TV season packs?▾
Yes. A season pack is one row, with the season number tracked. Add seasons as you buy them. TMDB pulls the show metadata.
Format awareness. DVD vs Blu-ray vs 4K?▾
Each row records the format you own. The same title can live on the shelf as both a 4K and a DVD without merging (collectors actually do this; we asked).
Can I share my shelf publicly?▾
Yes, on Bibliophile and Collector tiers. Public profile at shelfiebook.com/u/yourname. Read-only, beautiful on a phone.
What if a release is too obscure for TMDB?▾
It is still in your library with whatever Shelfie read on the spine. Correct the rest in two taps. Faster than the import dance, by a wide margin.
