Hey everyone,  
A little while ago I posted here about Movie Shelf, the physical media collection app I built for DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4Ks.

A lot of you were honest about the biggest issue:  
25 free imports didn't feel like a real free tier.  
That feedback was fair.

For a collection app, people need enough room to actually use it, test it, and see whether it fits their workflow before hitting a wall.  
So I listened and changed it.

What changed

Free users are no longer limited to just 25 imports.  
I still have a few paid/pro features for people who want the extra stuff, but the core cataloging experience is now much more open so you can actually use the app without immediately feeling blocked.

Why I changed it

A lot of the feedback on my last post was basically:  
I need a real free tier to even try this properly"  
That all made sense.  
This app is for collectors, and if the free experience feels too restricted, then I'm not really giving people a fair chance to decide whether it helps them.  
What MovieShelf does barcode scan search & add cover scan  
custom fields duplicate detection  
track format / edition / packaging / audio / subtitles / region / shelf location / notes / condition / more  
What I'm still focused on improving

The strongest feedback from this subreddit has been around:  
boutique / edition-level matching  
better version selection exact cover handling  
larger-collection workflows  
Android app (coming soon)  
imports from existing collector setups  
That feedback has been genuinely useful, and I've been taking it seriously.  
So if you installed MovieShelf before and bounced because the free tier felt too limited, this is basically me saying:

I heard you. I changed it.  
It you want to give it another shot, l'a love to know what you think now.

Thank you each and everyone who commented on my previous post and helped me build what the app is now.

Recently I posted about how this community helped me build a collection app. I listened and made core scanning feature free
