A self-hosted reading environment that manages EPUB, PDF, audiobooks, and comics on a single platform. Reading progress and highlights are synchronized bidirectionally across web browsers, Kobo, and KOReader, allowing you to continue reading from where you left off on any device. It supports various formats using built-in readers without requiring separate plugin installations.

Book information is automatically collected through 14 metadata providers, including Google Books, Open Library, and Amazon. It provides statistical features such as reading time heatmaps, streaks, and annual goals, with over 50 achievements to unlock. Generated highlights can be exported in Markdown, CSV, and JSON formats.

It integrates with Hardcover, Readwise, and StoryGraph to automatically sync reading records. It supports OIDC-based SSO, enabling single sign-on environments with Authentik, Keycloak, and others. It also connects to existing reading ecosystems via the OPDS protocol and Send-to-Kindle functionality.

It is deployed using Docker Compose and uses a PostgreSQL database. Migration guides are provided for transferring data from Audiobookshelf and Calibre-Web Automated. It is distributed under the AGPL-3.0 license, and community translations are managed via Crowdin.
