Why I built Shelfify

I have been collecting records for more than 15 years. Today there are a little over 2,200 of them on my shelves, and for a long time I had the same problems every collector knows.

Over the years I tried every way to keep it organized, from a simple Excel sheet to Discogs. Each one helped a little, but none of them was as good as I wanted it to be, and none could tell me where a record actually was. The bigger the collection got, the harder it was to keep things in order and find what I wanted to play.

I have also been programming since I was 15, so for more than 20 years now. At some point it was obvious: I would build the app I wanted myself.

I started in early 2025, at first only for my own collection. Over time it grew: I kept adding features and released Shelfify in April 2026, just before the international Record Store Day. It lets me draw my real shelves, put each record where it actually stands, and find it in seconds. Everything else in Shelfify came from using it every day with my own collection, the Now Spinning player, the games, the Wrapped at the end of the year.

It is still made by one person, for people who love their records as much as I do. If you collect too, I would love to hear what you think.

Short description

Shelfify shows where every record sits on your real shelves. Import your Discogs collection, draw your shelves, and find any record by room, shelf, compartment and position.

Description

Shelfify is a collection app for people with real shelves. You draw your shelves to their actual size, an IKEA Kallax or anything else, file your records into compartments, and search shows the room, the shelf, the compartment and the position from the left. Search works by artist, album, song title (with side and track, like B2) or a photo of the cover.

It imports a Discogs collection in seconds and keeps syncing both ways, so notes, conditions and the wantlist stay in step with Discogs. Version 1.1.0 adds a Now Spinning player that scrobbles to Last.fm and reminds you to flip the record, share cards and a yearly Wrapped, five games built from your own records, and home screen widgets.
