Shelf

Save screenshots, page titles, URLs, tags, and categories to a local inspiration library.

Shelf is a local-first Chrome extension for capturing, organizing, and preserving visual inspiration from the web. Save visible-page or full-page screenshots, selected areas, individual page elements, and text quotes in your own private inspiration library. Shelf automatically captures useful website details—including the page description, colors, and font families—while keeping every field editable. Organize references with titles, descriptions, source URLs, tags, categories, and collections, then browse everything in a clean, minimal grid. Your library is stored locally in the browser using IndexedDB. You can also choose a folder on your computer to save captures as PNG images with accompanying JSON metadata, keeping your inspiration archive under your control.
