Frequently asked questions
Is an account or sign-up required?
No. Leisure Shelf is built with absolute privacy in mind. There are no registration forms, usernames, passwords, or email collections. Your collection belongs entirely to your device.
How does the 2.5D bookshelf work?
Every book, film, game, or vinyl record in your library automatically gets a realistic 3D spine rendered with artwork-matched colors, subtle beveling, and vertical typography. Swiping along shelves offers the tactile feeling of browsing a physical collection.
Can I import my Goodreads or Letterboxd data for free?
Yes. Importing CSV files from Goodreads and Letterboxd is completely free and unlimited. You can bring your entire historical catalog into the free tier in one go.
What are the exact limits of the free tier?
The free tier allows 1 online search and 1 item addition to your library each calendar day. The 2.5D shelf, list view, CSV imports, appearance customization, and loan management are fully functional without expiration. To perform unlimited searches and mass additions, you can upgrade to Leisure Shelf Pro.
Where is my data stored and how does sync work?
On the free tier, all data remains in local on-device storage. With Leisure Shelf Pro, your collection syncs automatically through your personal Apple CloudKit container linked to your Apple ID, with no intermediary servers.
How does physical loan tracking work?
On the detail view of any physical item (printed books, vinyl discs, console cartridges, or Blu-rays), you can enter the borrower's name and set an expected return date. The app schedules a local notification on your device so you remember to follow up.
