Scan a barcode in the shop. ShelvedUp identifies the exact edition, checks it against your shelf, and tells you whether a better version exists — before you get to the till.
Runs in your browser. iOS coming soon.
Most collection apps are a list you type into. ShelvedUp reads the barcode and works out the rest.
Scan something on the shelf in front of you and ShelvedUp says whether it is already on yours — down to the specific edition, not just the title.
Own Heat on Blu-ray and there is a 4K release? You get told. Film formats are a quality ladder, so the app knows what counts as a step up.
Log what you paid per disc, see the running total across your collection, and pull current eBay listings for any edition.
Three seconds, standing in a charity shop.
Scanning happens on your device. No typing, no searching, no account required to look around.
The barcode resolves to a real film or album, and to the specific edition — 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, steelbook, vinyl, CD. The first person to scan any barcode enriches it once; everyone after that gets it instantly.
Already own it · a better edition exists · you paid £8 for this in 2024. Add it to your shelf with one tap.
The same scan works on a vinyl sleeve as on a steelbook. Music gets its own shelf, its own artwork, and no upgrade nagging — format is taste there, not a ladder.
Open it in your browser and scan something off your own shelf. It takes longer to find the remote.
Browser camera access is needed to scan. iOS app coming soon.
