New things on Moodshelf, month by month.
Search now understands full questions, not just keywords. Ask "something quiet for sunday morning" and your shelf answers in its own voice, pointing at the exact things it means. When nothing on your shelf fits, it looks beyond it and recommends a few things worth your time, with a line on why. A small constellation of your moods speaks for the shelf — it stirs while it looks, and settles when it's done.

The observations in your taste portrait used to appear in no particular order, and shuffled around each time it refreshed. They now start with the corner of your library you have built up the most, and work outward from there. Tapping one still lights up that part of your map, and now the whole cluster lights, not just a few points in it.
Text saves used to appear on shelf cards as a plain icon. They now show up as tiny paper cards with the first lines of the quote on them, standing on the shelf next to your covers.
Your shelves now look the part. Covers stand upright on a wooden ledge at their natural size, books and films keep their shape, and anything that doesn't fit peeks out from the card's edge. Hover a shelf and the row slides along to show you what else is inside.
When you make a shelf public, its items now show up near the top of Explore instead of getting buried under more recent picks. Sharing a shelf finally puts it where people will actually see it.
The Explore wall stopped after the first 30 items, so most of a freshly shared shelf never appeared. It now keeps loading as you scroll until you have seen everything.
The grow-into-view effect from the home grid now works on Explore and inside shelves too. Wherever you open an item, the card grows from its spot and settles back when you close it.
Opening an item feels more physical now. The card you click grows from its spot in the grid into the detail view, and shrinks back into place when you close it. Works in current browsers, with the previous fade everywhere else.
Dialogs, dropdown menus, and toasts now ease in gently instead of popping into place, and toasts fade out when they leave. Opening an item from the taste map got its zoom animation back too.
When you open a save on desktop, the info panel on the right can now be hidden. Tap "Hide info" at the top to give the image or page the full width, and "Show info" to bring it back. Moodshelf remembers your choice, so the view stays the way you like it.
Tapping into a mood now shows only saves that actually belong there. Small or specific moods used to get padded out with unrelated saves once the real matches ran out; that's fixed, and it now adapts to how broad or narrow your own library is. Search across saved web pages got a bit sharper too, leaning more on matching words for cases where similar topics were crowding out the right result.
You can now jot down a quick note on any save, why you saved it, what you liked or didn't, anything worth remembering. Add one anytime from the details panel, or right after saving from the browser extension. Saves with a note get a small marker on the card, and your notes are searchable too.
Movies you save now list their director and cast right in the details, and you can search your shelf by either.
Some shelves were showing blank covers instead of their item previews, mostly for people with a lot of saves across many shelves. Shelf covers now load correctly every time.
Search now lives in the bottom nav on mobile, with a lighter header up top. In the reader, display options (font, size, theme) open in a quick bottom sheet instead of a separate screen, and highlights now feel snappier on iOS. We also fixed a couple of nagging glitches: your profile picture should show up reliably now, and shelf covers no longer go blank when a thumbnail fails to load.
When you add a link or images, you can now choose which shelf they land on right from the Add panel, or create a new shelf on the spot. The Shelves page also has a quicker way to start a new shelf from the search bar.
Moodshelf now imports your Goodreads library. Export the CSV from My Books, drop it into Add, then Import, then Goodreads, and every book arrives with its cover. There are also new step-by-step guides for bringing your Kindle highlights and your Goodreads shelves, at moodshelf.com/bring.
The free shelf now holds 500 items, up from 200. And when you import a file with more than will fit, Moodshelf tells you up front so you can choose what to do, and anything already on your shelf comes over without taking a spot. Also new: you can now read What's new without signing in, and the page wraps up more gracefully on phones.
Your taste map now has a Download button that saves your taste profile as a Markdown file. It includes your aesthetic signature, every named drive from your portrait, and your dominant moods. Add it to any AI project or chat as context and it knows what you're drawn to, what you return to, and how to give you recommendations that actually fit.
Moods on the home page now group your saves by genuine emotional quality, not just topic similarity. Every item in a mood actually belongs there, labels are plain and immediate ("Quiet Ambition", "Warm Nostalgia"), and your full library participates, not just images. Tap a mood and the results should feel right.
Your taste map now comes with a written portrait: a short reading of what you keep coming back to and why, with observations you can tap to light up the saves behind each one. You can share the whole thing as a poster. Search got sharper too, so you can now find posts by the name of the person who wrote them, not just their handle.
Importing a large movie list could leave some films without their poster. Imports now pace their requests and retry hiccups, so posters and other details load reliably even on big batches.
After importing a lot at once, the moods on your home could thin out for a few minutes before filling back in. They now refresh in one step, once the new items finish processing, so the list settles instead of dipping first.
Books added through a Kindle import were arriving with just a cover and author. They now include the full synopsis, the same as a book you save one at a time, so the details panel reads properly.
In a save's details, a longer caption no longer flashes on screen and then vanishes a moment later. The text now stays put while you browse.
Importing your Pinterest saves while signed out now sends you to log in, the same as the other imports, instead of failing with an error.
Tidied up the detail view. Video descriptions no longer carry page clutter like sign-in prompts, transcript notes, or comment-box bits. Captions on saved posts no longer show up twice. And the description text reads more clearly now.
Save details got a polish. Books now show their real description instead of just the author, and book pages you save from a shop come through with their cover. Every save now shows where it came from and when. Posts from Instagram, X, and Pinterest read more naturally, with the account name up top and the caption as the text. We also cleaned up stray characters that were slipping into some titles.
Save a link that has no preview image and Moodshelf now grabs a screenshot of the page, so it shows up as a real picture on your shelf instead of a plain placeholder. When you save with the browser extension it captures the page exactly as you saw it, signed-in pages included.
You can now pull your saved pins into Moodshelf. With the browser extension connected, import everything you've saved on Pinterest and it lands as image cards on your shelf, ready to organize alongside the rest. Turn on Keep in sync and the new pins you save on Pinterest will keep flowing in on their own.
Opening a saved item now shows a cleaner detail view with a side panel that gathers everything in one place: the title and description, who added it, the shelves it lives in (each with its item count), and any highlights. On explore you can see who saved something and which shelves it appears in, and add it to a shelf of your own straight from the card.
Selecting items is calmer now. While you're picking cards, each one shows just its checkbox instead of a full row of buttons, so the grid stays clean and the actions you need sit in the bar at the bottom.
Your shelf reads calmer at a glance: each card now shows a single tidy title line instead of a block of text. Scrolling through a large library is smoother too, with covers staying put instead of flickering in and out as you move.
A few things got nicer:
Just deleted a card you actually wanted to keep? You now get five seconds to take it back, right from the bottom of the screen. Hit Undo, the card comes right back where it was. Navigate away in the meantime and the delete still finishes, so there are no ghost cards on the next reload. Plus the select circle on phones is visible again, so picking a few cards to act on works the way it used to.
Instagram and X bookmark imports are back to finishing in seconds instead of minutes. The dialog no longer sits on "Queuing..." while preparing images. Cover images still get a durable copy in the background after the import finishes, so cards keep looking right over time.
Instagram imports now bring in all of your saved posts, and Instagram covers stay visible long-term instead of going blank after a day or two. The Import dialog also notices when the extension finishes installing, so you don't need to come back and click around to move on.
The "What's new" link in your account menu opens this page. New updates, improvements, and fixes Moodshelf ships will land here, latest first.
Save covers load faster across the app, and they hold up better on slower connections too. If you haven't added a profile photo yet, your avatar now shows your initial on a colored background instead of a blank circle, so accounts are easier to tell apart at a glance.
Anything you've highlighted in the inline reader, on your Kindle, or imported from Readwise now lives on the original save card. Click a save to scroll its highlights, or drag through them in a side drawer.
The browser extension can now pull in your full Kindle library, X bookmarks, and Instagram saves. Connect once and they show up alongside everything else, no manual exports or files.
Copy a passage from anywhere on the web, paste it into Moodshelf, and it becomes a highlight with the source attached. No new tab, no extra clicks.
Search understands what you mean, not just what you typed. Multiple keywords work the way you'd expect, partial matches surface useful results, and meaning-based search finds related saves even when the exact words don't match.
Open any article save and read it inside Moodshelf, without opening the original page. The reader strips the ads and chrome, paragraphs are spaced for actual reading, and any passage you highlight there saves back to the same card.
Save covers no longer disappear when the original page goes down or swaps out its image. Whatever your save looked like the day you added it is what it'll look like next month.
A handful of shelf updates: publish a shelf with a toggle, credit contributors in an attribution row, and add new items from inside the shelf detail view.
Saves for movies, books, music, and articles now pull richer posters and covers from across the web. Less placeholder grey, more of the artwork that makes a save feel like a save.
