Shelfmark is a self-hosted web application for searching and requesting books and audiobooks across multiple configurable sources such as web, torrent, usenet, and IRC. It provides a unified download queue, multi-user request workflows, and automatic import into library tools like Calibre-Web and Audiobookshelf.

Use cases

  • search and download ebooks from multiple sources in one place
  • self-hosted audiobook search and download tool
  • let family or friends request books through a shared web UI
  • automatically import downloaded books into Calibre-Web
  • manage a download queue with real-time progress
  • integrate book metadata from Hardcover, Open Library, and Google Books

When to choose

  • you run a self-hosted ebook or audiobook library and want automated acquisition
  • you need a multi-user request/approval system for book downloads
  • you want one interface aggregating torrent, usenet, IRC, and web sources
  • you use Calibre, Calibre-Web, or Audiobookshelf and want automatic imports

When to avoid

  • you need a fully managed cloud service rather than a Docker self-hosted app
  • you want active feature development - the project is feature-stable and maintained best-effort
  • you cannot spare ~2 GB of RAM for the container
  • you only need a simple single-source downloader without metadata or request workflows
