Unshelf
Pass your books on. Pick your next one up.
A reading community in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
Most of us own books we'll never open again — while someone a kilometre away is dying to read exactly those. Unshelf keeps them moving: pass on a book you've finished, earn spines, and use them to pick up your next read from a reader nearby.
You don't lose a book. You send it on a journey.
How it works
1Unshelf a finished book by
scanning its barcode — under a minute.
2A reader nearby requests it.
You chat in the app and meet somewhere public.
3You both confirm, spines
move, and the book's journey grows by one hop.
Fair by design
- Every book's value is shown openly — printed price, condition, and how many readers want it.
- Spines only move when both people confirm the handoff.
- Honest condition ratings keep listings trustworthy.
- No money changes hands. No ads, no tracking.
Meeting strangers, safely
- Verified-phone badges, so you know who you're meeting.
- Your locality only — never your address, never your number.
- Handoffs at familiar public places the app suggests.
- Report and block anyone; delete your account any time, in the app.

The first readers get the first books — and their names at the start of every journey. Leave your email and I'll send you a TestFlight invite as seats open. It's an iPhone app for now.
Just your email, used only to send your invite. Nothing else, ever.
