Scan the marked page
Point your phone at the page. PassageShelf turns the marked lines into a passage you can keep, find, and return to with the book and page context beside it.

Capture
The step everyone skips is typing passages out. So you don’t type.
Or type it yourself
No phone in reach, or a passage too short to bother? Manual entry is two fields and done. Same card, same shelf.
Import from Kindle and ReadwiseCloud · at launch
Bring your Kindle and Readwise highlights over in a couple of clicks. They join your paper passages on one shelf, so the split between e-reader, Readwise and print stops mattering.
keep it sorted
Organize
Index cards, not a junk drawer. Every passage knows its book, its chapter, and what it meant to you.
Colors that mean what you say
You name your own color meanings: Big idea, Action, Quote, whatever your reading calls for. Every card wears one. Rename them anytime; the cards follow.
Margin notes, pinned to words
Notes don’t float next to a passage — they anchor to the exact words that earned them, the way pencil does in a real margin.
Tags and favorites
Tags run threads across books — every passage about attention, no matter who wrote it. Favorites float the ones you’d save from a fire.
A shelf that looks like a shelf
Real spines on real boards. Statuses (Reading, On the pile, Finished, Paused, Wishlist) and a progress line creeping along each cover.
Collections
Stack books into named groups without moving them off the main shelf: a course, a project, a year of reading.

Revisit
Collecting passages is easy. The point is meeting them again.
A small hand of cards, daily
The deck deals a few passages each day, spaced out so old ones resurface before they fade. Swipe through like turning pages.
Five ways through the deck
Today for the daily hand. Random when you want surprise. Forgotten for what you haven’t seen in months. By tag or by book when you’re working on something.
Use the browser beta now
PassageShelf is available now in the browser, where your passages, books, and Daily Review work together on a larger screen. Android is planned after enough browser-beta feedback; iOS follows later.

Act
Some passages want more than rereading.
Turn a passage into a todo
Some lines demand something: an email, an apology, a canceled subscription. Make it a todo right on the card and get it out of your head.
Daily practices with streaks
Recurring practices grow out of passages, tally marks keep the streak honest, and a one-line reflection records how it actually went.
yours, provably
Own
The trust contract, in features rather than promises.
Share a passage as a quote card
Any card renders as a clean quote image — for the group chat, the book club, or the friend who needs that exact line today.
Export is never gated
Markdown or JSON, every tier, always — into Obsidian, into a backup drive, into whatever comes after us. Your library leaves whenever you tell it to.
