Shelfmark is a self-hosted web application that serves as a unified interface for searching, discovering, and downloading ebooks and audiobooks from multiple sources into a personal digital library. Formerly known as Calibre Web Automated Book Downloader, the platform aggregates content from web archives, torrents, Usenet, IRC, and metadata providers to create a centralized acquisition hub. It provides both direct search and metadata-driven discovery modes, enabling richer results and multi-source download workflows. Shelfmark includes a multi-user request system that allows shared instances where users can browse and request titles while administrators manage approvals and fulfillment. The application integrates smoothly with popular library tools such as Calibre, Calibre-Web, and Audiobookshelf for automated imports and organization. Overall, Shelfmark functions as an end-to-end self-hosted solution for automated book and audiobook acquisition and management.
