Introducing
Offshelf
Put down your phone.
Pick up a book.
A reading companion that turns your phone into a tool for focus, not distraction. Flip it face-down to read. Pick it up when you're done.
We'll email you once — on launch day. No spam.
A ritual, not a chore
Three steps to distraction-free reading
Enter your page
Tell Offshelf where you're starting. Track your progress book by book.
Flip face-down
Place your phone face-down. That's your signal to start reading.
Pick up when done
Lift your phone to log the session. Enter your ending page. Done.
The average person spends 4+ hours a day on their phone. Offshelf turns it into a tool for the thing you keep saying you'll do more of.
No social feeds. No algorithms. Just you, your book, and a phone that's finally face-down.
Your reading life is yours alone
Offshelf stores everything locally on your device. We don't have servers. We don't collect data. We don't know what you're reading—and we never will.
