Play it your way

BrowserNothing to install Ready

The whole game runs in any modern browser - same shelf, same account, on a laptop or a phone. The button above is all you need.

iPhone & iPad: home screenHow LittleShelf becomes an app on Apple devices - works on Android too Ready

LittleShelf can sit on your home screen with its own icon and open without the browser bars around it. It is the same game, just closer to hand.

iPhone & iPad (Safari): open littleshelf.de in Safari, tap the Share button at the bottom (the square with the arrow), scroll down and choose Add to Home Screen.

Android (Chrome): open littleshelf.de in Chrome, tap the ⋮ menu at the top right and choose Install app - on some phones it is called Add to Home screen.

Works on the desktop too: Chrome and Edge show an install icon on the right side of the address bar.

Android appGoogle Play Ready

LittleShelf is available as an app on the Google Play Store - the same account, the same shelf as in the browser. Sign in with your account, and everything you collect is the same collection.

Open in the Play Store

DiscordPlay next to your friends Ready

LittleShelf runs inside Discord as an Activity - in a voice channel, next to the people you are already talking to. No second account: you sign in with Discord and land in your own shelf.

How to start it: join our Discord server, go into any voice channel, open the Activities menu (the rocket icon) and pick LittleShelf.

Windows desktop appIts own window, no browser tabs Download

A small desktop app for Windows that opens LittleShelf in its own window - same account, same shelf, nothing to keep in sync. Sign in with your e-mail, with Google or through Steam; everything you collect is the same collection you have in the browser.

How to get it: download the installer from itch.io and run it. It sets LittleShelf up like any other Windows program and puts it in your start menu.

On the first start Windows may show a blue warning about an unknown publisher - the app is not code-signed yet. Pick More info and then Run anyway.

Download for Windows on itch.io

SteamSign in with your Steam account In preparation

LittleShelf is coming to Steam as a desktop version. You will be able to sign in through Steam - no password, no second account - and land in your own shelf.

Already playing here? Link your Steam account beforehand under Options → Steam account in the game; then the Steam version opens exactly the shelf you already have.

Live & community

Watch us collect live - now and then the stream shows promo codes, just for those watching. And on Discord you'll meet the other collectors.

The vision

Collecting is most fun when the collection is something special. That is why every collection in LittleShelf has its own theme and its own items you won't find anywhere else. You complete it find by find, and the items you love most get a spot on your shelf, where others can discover them. No grind, no timers that punish you, no pay-to-win. Just the moment the last item of a collection turns up.

Made by one person

LittleShelf is a one-man project. Every item, every mechanic and every line of code comes from one desk - and so does every answer to your feedback. No studio, no roadmap written by a committee. Whatever you suggest in the game’s “Workbench” goes straight to the person who can actually make it happen.

A game that keeps growing

This is a service game, meant to be looked after for years: new collections every season, events, and a collection of player-made originals every month. There is always a next collection - and what you have completed will still be yours when the next season starts.

What is LittleShelf?

LittleShelf is a free collecting game for the browser, your phone and Discord. You complete one-of-a-kind collections - planets, plushies, gemstones, curiosities - with items that exist only here, and put the ones you like on your own shelf. There is no combat, no timer that punishes you for logging off and nothing you can buy to win. The whole game is your collections and what you make of them.

How a day looks

You have searches, and they refill on their own - twenty-four of them are waiting on your first day. Every search turns up an item. Whatever is new goes into your album and brings your collection one step closer; every completed collection earns its award. Duplicates are not waste: merge them into rarer versions or trade them on the marketplace for what you are still missing. Your favourites go on one of your four boards, and how it looks there is up to you: wallpapers, shelf styles, decoration and a cozy shelf that exists purely for arranging.

Play it anywhere

Your collections follow you: open LittleShelf in the browser, install it on your phone as an app, install the desktop app for Windows or start it inside Discord as an Activity and collect next to your friends - and a Steam version with Steam sign-in is on its way. One account, one collection, no separate versions. Publishing your shelf gives you a link anybody can open - no account needed to look.

Frequently asked

Is LittleShelf free?

Yes, the whole game is playable without paying. There is an optional shop, and what it sells are cosmetic extras and conveniences - a rename, extra comfort features, statistics. It does not sell collectibles, rarities or places in the rankings.

Do I need to install anything?

No - the game itself runs in any modern browser. On a phone you can add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app, and inside Discord it opens as an Activity. There is an optional desktop app for Windows on top of that; it comes as an installer you download from itch.io. The Steam version is in preparation.

What do I actually collect?

Collections with a theme of their own - planets, plushies, gemstones, curiosities and much more. Every item has its own artwork that exists only in LittleShelf, and a rarity from common find to mythic. Every season brings new collections, and every month there is a collection of originals: items designed by players themselves.

What do I get for completing a collection?

Along the way you unlock rewards milestone by milestone. Once the collection is complete, its award is yours, and you can hang it on the wall of your cozy shelf. And the items you love most go on your shelf, where others can discover them.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Add friends, visit their shelves, leave a heart once a day and trade on the marketplace for what your collections are still missing. You can also publish your shelf as a public page and share the link with anyone.

Does it cost me time every day?

Only as much as you want. Searches pile up while you are away, nothing expires out of spite, and a shelf left alone stays exactly as you arranged it.

Your first collection is waiting.
