Software for book collectors who know books are objects

Your first edition Hemingway deserves better than a spreadsheet row.

Shelvd is cataloging software for book collectors. Not readers—collectors.

If you know the difference between first edition and first printing, this is for you.

If your 1623 Shakespeare Folio doesn't have a barcode, this is for you.

If you've ever tried to track dust jacket condition in a spreadsheet cell and wanted to cry, definitely for you.

What Shelvd does:

- ISBD-compliant cataloging (because octavo vs quarto actually matters)

- 76 book formats (your books aren't all the same size, why should your software pretend they are?)

- Granular condition tracking (dust jacket and text block are separate things—finally, software that knows this)

- Provenance chains (who owned it before you matters)

- Insurance documentation (for when you need to prove your collection isn't just "some old books")

Built for people who know books are objects, not content.

Free tier exists forever. First 100 users get lifetime Pro free (currently at 42, so... hurry if you care about that sort of thing).

Launch next week. Works now.
