Shelfy.Today

Save and organize web content

Shelfy.Today - Save & Organize Any Link Into Beautiful Collections Stop drowning in browser tabs. Start curating collections worth sharing. Save links from anywhere, organize them beautifully, and access them from any device. Free forever. Your Browser Has 47 Tabs Open. We Need to Talk. You know exactly which 47 we're talking about. That article you'll "definitely read later." The GitHub repo you need for that project. The competitor's website you're analyzing. The gift idea for your partner's birthday. The tutorial you're halfway through. All living in tab purgatory because closing them feels like losing something important forever. Meanwhile, your bookmarks folder is a digital graveyard. Organized by Past You—someone with good intentions and zero follow-through. Finding anything requires archaeology. Your team keeps asking "where's that link again?" You've shared it three times in three different Slack channels, but nobody can find it. Your social media bio has exactly one link, pointing to a generic list of buttons that looks like everyone else's. This is the chaos we've normalized. But here's the thing: you're not disorganized. You're drowning. And drowning isn't a character flaw—it's what happens when you don't have a lifeboat. Shelfy is your lifeboat. What Is Shelfy? Shelfy transforms link chaos into curated collections—right from your browser. With one click, save any link from any website into organized, searchable, beautiful collections. Share them with your team. Showcase them to your audience. Access them from anywhere. And actually find what you saved when you need it. Think of it as your personal link library that's actually browsable, your team's knowledge base that people actually use, and your link-in-bio that doesn't look like everyone else's boring button list. The Chrome extension makes this effortless. No copying and pasting URLs. No switching between tabs. Just right-click, save to Shelfy, and get back to what you were doing. Your links are organized, your mind is clear, and that tab can finally rest in peace.

It's saved, organized, and searchable. Step 4: Share With The World (Or Don't) Keep collections private (just for you) Share privately with team members Make public and share your yourname.shelfy.today link Connect a custom domain if you're fancy Step 5: Access From Anywhere Open Shelfy from any browser Mobile-friendly web app (native apps coming soon) Your collections are always in sync Export your data anytime you want Why Shelfy vs. Everything Else vs. Bookmarks Bookmarks: Dumped into folders you'll never organize, impossible to search, no sharing, looks like 2005 Shelfy: Actually organized, genuinely searchable, built for sharing, looks designed vs. Notion/Docs Notion/Docs: Great for writing, terrible for link management, manually copy-pasting URLs, no voting/community features Shelfy: Purpose-built for links, one-click saving, community voting, built-in analytics vs. Link-in-Bio Tools (Linktree, etc.) Generic Tools: List of identical buttons, no organization, no collaboration, limited free tiers with feature locks Shelfy: Visual collections with categories, team collaboration, voting features, free forever with zero limitations vs. Pinterest Pinterest: Image-focused, algorithm-driven feed, not built for documentation or teams Shelfy: Link-focused, organized by you, perfect for teams and professional use vs. Pocket/Instapaper Read-Later Apps: Personal-only, article-focused, no sharing/collaboration features Shelfy: Built for sharing, works with any content type, team-friendly The Shelfy Difference: We're not trying to be everything. We're really good at one thing: making link curation accessible, collaborative, and beautiful. We're the Swiss Army knife of link management, not the junk drawer. Privacy & Security (The Stuff That Actually Matters) We get it. Browser extensions have access to what you're doing online. That's a trust issue, and we don't take it lightly. Here's our promise: ✅ We Only See What You Save The extension only activates when you choose to save something. We're not reading your emails, watching your browsing, or collecting data on sites you visit. ✅ Your Data Is Encrypted Stored securely, transmitted safely. Industry-standard encryption because this is 2025 and that should be the baseline. ✅ You Own Your Content Export your collections anytime as JSON or CSV. No lock-in, no data hostage situations, no BS. ✅ No Data Selling We don't sell your data. Period. Our business model isn't "be free now, exploit you later." We're genuinely free forever. ✅ Minimal Permissions We request only the permissions we actually need to function. Nothing extra, nothing suspicious. ✅ Open Communication Questions about privacy? Email us. We're real people who respond like real people. Required Permissions & Why: "Read and change data on websites" - So you can right-click and save links from any site "Storage" - To remember your login and sync your collections "Contextmenus" - For the right-click "Save to Shelfy" option That's it. We're not asking for access to your tabs, history, or anything else we don't absolutely need. Pricing (Spoiler: It's Free) Free Forever. All Features. No Catch. Here's the deal: most tools start free, then lock features behind paywalls once you're hooked. We think that's manipulative. Shelfy is free forever with zero feature limitations because: We're not venture-backed growth-at-all-costs zombies We're building a sustainable product, not chasing unicorn status Good tools shouldn't have bad intentions You shouldn't have to pay to collaborate, or pay to use your own domain, or pay to see basic analytics We'll monetize eventually, but transparently Future premium features will be truly premium (advanced integrations, priority support), not basic features held hostage What You Get (Free): ✅ Unlimited collections ✅ Unlimited links ✅ Team collaboration ✅ Custom domain support ✅ Voting features ✅ Built-in analytics ✅ Export your data anytime ✅ All future core features What You Don't Get: ❌ Ads (we hate them too) ❌ Surprise billing ❌ Feature removals to force upgrades Frequently Asked Questions Q: Does this slow down my browser? A: Nope. The extension is lightweight and only activates when you use it. It's not running background processes or consuming resources while you browse. Q: Can I use this without the extension? A: Yes! You can manage your collections directly on shelfy.today. The extension just makes saving faster and easier. Q: What if I already have 500 bookmarks? A: You can manually migrate them to Shelfy, or start fresh and save new links as you discover them. We're working on a bookmark import feature (coming soon). Q: Can I make some collections private and others public? A: Absolutely. Each collection has its own privacy settings. Toggle them anytime. Q: Do my team members need the extension? A: Nope. They can view and contribute to collections from the web app. The extension just makes saving easier. Q: What about mobile? A: The web app is mobile-friendly. Native iOS/Android apps are on the roadmap. You can access all your collections from your phone's browser right now. Q: Can I really use my own domain? A: Yes! Connect links.yourdomain.com or any subdomain. Simple DNS setup—we guide you through it. Q: What if I want to leave? A: Export your data as JSON or CSV anytime. No lock-in, no data hostage situation. We want you to stay because Shelfy is useful, not because leaving is hard. Q: Is this actually free forever or is that marketing speak? A: Actually free forever. All current features remain free for all users. If we add premium features in the future, they'll be truly premium (think advanced integrations or white-label options), not basic features held hostage. Q: How do you make money then? A: We don't yet. When we do, it'll be through optional premium features for power users and enterprises, not by degrading the free experience. Sustainable growth over exploitative tactics. What Happens After You Install Minute 1: Extension installed. Icon appears in your Chrome toolbar. That was easy. Minute 2: You right-click a link for the first time and see "Save to Shelfy." You click it. A modal appears. You create your first collection. The link is saved. You feel a tiny spark of control. Minute 5: You've saved 4 more links. You're starting to see the shape of your collection. It's organized. It's searchable. It doesn't look like a junk drawer. Day 2: You've closed 15 browser tabs because they're saved in Shelfy. Your browser feels faster. Your mind feels clearer. Week 1: You share your first collection with your team. Someone messages "omg this is so much better than our Notion page." You feel validated. Month 1: You've built 8 collections. Your yourname.shelfy.today link is in your email signature. People actually click it and explore. You've become a curator, not just a link-dumper. Month 3: You can't remember how you survived without it. When a teammate asks "where's that resource?" you send them your Shelfy collection instead of playing Slack archaeology. You've saved hours. You've reduced chaos. You've built something that looks professional. This is the transformation we're offering. The Bottom Line Links are how we share knowledge, build teams, connect with audiences, and navigate the internet. But we've been treating them like digital trash—dumped wherever, organized never, forgotten immediately. You deserve better tools. Your team deserves better systems. Your audience deserves better experiences. Shelfy is that better. Not another tool you'll abandon in three weeks. Not another "freemium" trap that locks features behind paywalls. Not another corporate product built by people who don't actually use it. This is a tool built by people who felt the same chaos you feel. Who had 47 tabs open and couldn't find anything. Who knew there had to be a better way. Install Shelfy. Save your first link. Feel the chaos start to organize itself. Your future self—the one with closed tabs, organized collections, and actual free time—will thank you. Get Started (It Takes 30 Seconds) Click "Add to Chrome" Pin the extension to your toolbar (optional but recommended) Right-click any link and select "Save to Shelfy" Watch your chaos become curation Your links deserve better. Your audience deserves better. You deserve better. Install Shelfy now—it's free forever, and your sanity is priceless.
