KizunaShelfA shelf for everything you love.— and it stays yours.
Keep what you watch, play, read, and listen to in one personal library. Connect stories, games, music, and the people behind them. Your collection stays in plain Markdown files, ready to open in Obsidian or any text editor.
self-hosted web available · desktop alpha for macOS, Linux & Windows
It starts familiar. It ends up yours.
Start with anime, games, books, movies, and albums. Choose the details you want to keep: a status, a rating, a cover, a date, or a note for later.
If your world needs goods, cards, voice actors, live events, or trains, shoes, museums, coffee beans, or something nobody else would think to model, KizunaShelf gives you the grammar to describe it.
Your library is a folder of text files.
Each entity has a Markdown file for its details and your notes. Open it in Obsidian, sync the folder between devices, and back it up with your other files.
KizunaShelf adds covers, search, filters, and a calendar to those same notes. Your files remain readable without the app.

Things belong to each other.
Keep Steins;Gate games and anime together under a franchise. Link Kurisu Makise to her voice actor, Asami Imai. Follow those connections through your library — they are ordinary [[wikilinks]] in your notes.
Speedrun trip in Tokyo. What a big day! - 08:30 Arrived at Tokyo Big Sight - 13:00 Odaiba Statue of Liberty 🗽 - 14:30 [[Nijigasaki The Movie Part 2]] 🌈 — The stage at Umeda Sky Building is wonderful! - 17:00 [[Poppin'Party New Year LIVE]] 🎸 — [[FIRE BIRD]] is a big surprise! 🔥
It remembers when.
See releases and plans on a calendar. Check off an episode or log a session, then find it again in your history. A link in your daily note is enough to connect an ordinary day with something you loved.
Kizuna means bond. Between a story and the people who made it. Between a rainy Friday and the episode you watched that night. Between you and the things you keep.
At your desk or in your pocket.
