Calibre Web Companion

About Calibre Web Companion

Calibre Web Companion is an Android app for browsing and managing a digital book library hosted on a Calibre-Web or Calibre-Web Automated server. Users can browse books by author, series, publisher, rating, or popularity, view detailed records, edit metadata, and upload cover images. Books can be marked read or unread, archived, and organized into shelves. Dynamic Magic Shelves are also supported with Calibre-Web Automated. The app can add books by scanning an ISBN barcode and includes an e-book reader. Reading progress can synchronize across devices through WebDAV. Users can send books to supported e-readers through configured delivery options, upload books to their server, and synchronize a whole library or selected books for offline reading. The app also supports downloading books through a configured companion service. Connections can use reverse-proxy or single sign-on setups, custom HTTP headers, and self-signed certificates. The interface supports 15 languages, themes, e-ink mode, adjustable text size, and configurable action and section order. Calibre Web Companion requires an existing server and is actively developed. Its role is to provide mobile access to a user’s self-hosted digital library.
