I'm working on a new calibre library app - Calibre LibraLink

setherd · 03-21-2026, 03:46 PM

Please tell me if this isn't allowed. But with the abandonment of other apps. And with how good AI is getting, I'm trying to write my own app so I can Look at my libraries and read books wherever. I've got the first versions working on Android, iPhone, and iPad and have it sync into Google Drive and Dropbox. I also added Project Gutenberg.
Is anyone interested in looking at it, maybe giving feedback?

I'd be happy to look at the iOS version.

Are you aware of JustRead.app and Bookshelves? They are both new iOS ePub Readers, with various features. But a new entry is worth a look.

This isn't a reader, it just downloads the files to your device and then you can open it with whatever you want. But thank you! Hopefully in the next couple days I can get it ready for people to test.

Add me to the tester list, I'm interested in the offer. I use Android.

A replacement for calibre link, which seems to have been abandoned? Yes, I'l like to try that.

Some screen shots there. I have to get setup with the app stores to be able to give download links. I think I can email APK fiels to andorid users if you don't want to wait.

I store my calibre library locally. I'd like an option to connect up to the calibre server, and an option to download all books easily (that might already be there, of course).

For doing beta releases on iOS, another developer has used an app called TestFlight. I don't know if that's a standard Apple thing or a third party app.

Testflight is an Apple app. It's used for beta testing.
