About Novely: Virtual Bookshelf
Your bookshelf as it stands at home. With your real book spines, at their real size, and as a widget on your Home Screen.
Novely is in English, or in German when your iPhone is set to German.
Novely requires an in-app purchase to start: Novely Club, as a subscription (the yearly plan starts with a 3-day trial) or as a one-time purchase. If a trial or subscription ends, you keep your books and the basic designs; the other walls, lights, decor, reading rooms and sounds, full stats, recommendations and app blocking need Novely Club.
YOUR SHELF
- Every book stands at its real height and thickness.
- Photograph your own book spines. Novely cuts them out and puts them on the shelf.
- Photograph your own cover too, or pick one from your photos.
- Spine, cover facing out, or lying in a stack: hold a book and drag it where it belongs.
- To read, Read, Wishlist: a shelf each.
- Walls, light and decor, from fairy lights to a monstera. More walls, lights and decor come only with Novely Club.
ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
- A widget for every shelf, small, medium or large. Tap it to open exactly that shelf.
- The Currently Reading and Cover widgets show where you are in the book.
ADDING BOOKS
- Scan a barcode or search by title.
- English editions from Open Library. German editions from the German National Library (DNB), with publisher and page count.
- Saw a book in a video? Share it from TikTok, Instagram or your browser to Novely.
- Goodreads import by CSV. Export any time.
- StoryGraph import by CSV, and your whole library as a backup file for your next phone.
SERIES
- German editions know their series: the volumes stand together, in order, and "All Volumes" shows which one is missing.
READING
- A reading session timer for the book you are reading. With Novely Club, the apps you choose stay blocked until it ends.
- A reading room for your session: a moving picture with a cat or a dog, and rain, fireplace or piano sounds. More pictures and the fireplace and piano sounds come only with Novely Club.
- Reminders for your reading time, if you like.
NOTES & QUOTES
- Keep quotes and thoughts for every book, with the page number.
- Scan a page, drag your finger along your line, and it becomes a quote. The page is read on your iPhone.
- Share a quote as a card.
STATS
- This month as a calendar of the covers you read, and your reading streak.
- With Novely Club: pages per day, past months and your yearly goal.
- Your week, month and reading year as a card to share, in story format.
FRIENDS
With an account, invite friends by link, @username or code. You see each other’s shelves and when someone finishes or rates a book, and you choose what friends see. No direct messages, and you can report or block anyone who bothers you.

Latest updates
1.0.9
• Move your decor freely while you style your shelf: the edit panel steps aside while you drag.
• Search now shows whether a result is a “Paperback”, a “Hardcover” or a “Special Edition”.
• Importing from Goodreads again no longer adds your books twice, and Novely removes duplicates from an earlier import when you first open it.
• When the book catalog isn’t answering, search now tells you so instead of saying “Nothing found”.
1.0.8
• Neu: der Tab „Freunde“. Lade Freunde ein und schaut euch gegenseitig in die Regale. Freiwillig, mit Apple oder Google, und du kannst jeden Beitrag melden und jede Person blockieren.
• Eigene Regale, eine Suche über alle deine Bücher und deine „Lieblinge“.
• E-Books und Hörbücher, mit Fortschritt in Prozent oder Minuten.
• Import aus StoryGraph, Sicherung als Datei und ein freiwilliges „Konto“, mit dem deine Käufe aufs nächste Handy umziehen.
• Ein „Tagesziel“, „SuB würfeln“ und das Widget „Buch scannen“.
1.0.7
• Halloween zieht ein: Ab 15. Oktober schmücken sich deine Lesezimmer und dein Regal, mit Lichterketten in Orange und Violett, Herbstlaub und Kürbissen an jedem Brett. Danach kommt der Winter, im Dezember Weihnachten.
• Lieber wie immer? Tipp auf „Klassisch“, im Lesezimmer oder unter „Mehr“. Dort wartet auch ein App-Symbol passend zur Jahreszeit.
• Dekor für deine Bücher: Novely malt kleine Stücke fürs Regal, passend zu dem, was du liest. Das erste gehört dir, weitere gibt es im Novely Club (In-App-Kauf), ebenso Kürbislaterne, Schneemann und Tannenbäumchen.
• Die Novely-Club-Seite und „Mehr“ funktionieren jetzt besser auf dem iPad und mit größerer Schrift.
• Novely ist jetzt deutlich kleiner: Die bewegten Lesezimmer und die Klänge lädt die App erst, wenn du sie zum ersten Mal auswählst.
