Create JSON backups for free. Pro adds portable CSV, readable PDF, and ZIP exports through the iOS share sheet.
Useful free tier, one-time Pro unlock
The free app supports up to 30 books, three shelf scans, manual entry, duplicate checking, loan tracking, reminders, and JSON backup. ShelfSweep Pro Lifetime removes the book and scan limits and unlocks PDF, CSV, and ZIP exports. Pro is a one-time non-consumable in-app purchase; there is no recurring subscription.
Designed around a clear privacy boundary
Your library is stored locally. Shelf photos are processed on device and are not uploaded to the developer. ShelfSweep has no account, advertising, analytics, tracking, cloud AI, social feed, or developer backend. Public help pages and Apple’s StoreKit service require internet access when used.
Does ShelfSweep work offline?
Core library, recognition, duplicate-checking, loan, and export features work without an account or app server. StoreKit purchases and public help pages need a network connection.
Is recognition always correct?
No. Spine layouts, lighting, fonts, and partial titles vary. ShelfSweep treats recognition as an editable draft and asks you to review results before saving.
