VIRTUAL BOOKSHELF APP
Your books on a shelf
that shows your progress.
The virtual bookshelf in Talemi is a bookcase for your books, right on your phone. Every book you read stands on it like a real one, and colour fills its spine as you go. You can tell at a glance what you’re reading, what’s waiting its turn and what’s done.

WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SHELF
A shelf you’ll want to look at
Progress on the spine
Colour climbs the spine with every page. You see how much is left without opening anything.
Arranged your way
Move books by hand and add a few touches: candles, a plant, a photo, a figurine or a lamp.
All in one place
Reading, for later and finished stand together. Your own lists, say for a holiday, sit alongside.
HOW IT WORKS
From an empty shelf to a full bookcase
Add a book
Search by title, author or ISBN. It goes straight onto your shelf.
Save where you are
Enter your page after reading. The spine fills itself.
Arrange and decorate
As your books pile up, move them around like on a real bookcase, or keep the automatic layout.
GOOD TO KNOW
Your shelf, honest stats
Five pages show on the spine, too.
- Rearranging books never changes your stats or challenge scores.
- Saving the same page twice doesn’t add pages to your week.
- You can switch from spines to a covers view.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Talemi
How to keep a TBR list How to track your reading progress How to choose a reading tracker app
What is a virtual bookshelf app?
It’s a digital bookcase that holds your books. In Talemi it also shows the reading progress of each one, so it works as a book tracker, only nicer to look at.
Can I add a book that isn’t in the catalogue?
We search a large book catalogue by title, author and ISBN. If something is missing, let us know and we’ll look into adding it.
Does the shelf work with ebooks and audiobooks?
The shelf tracks progress in pages or reading time, so you can log any book, whatever format you read it in.
How much does Talemi cost?
Joining early access is free, and the test version has no payments. Pricing for launch hasn’t been decided.
