Notes:
- Calibre Sync is not a reader app. You must install and use one of the many excellent reader apps available.
- Only Microsoft OneDrive for Personal accounts (shared) are supported. Please email us if you observe any inconsistencies.
- Due to restriction in Box API, Calibre Sync must acquire write permission in order to download files, download is not a read action on Box. Calibre Sync guarantees that it will not perform any write actions against your data in Box cloud account.
- Calibre Sync use WebDav API of Nextcloud and OwnCloud services, and it requires case sensitive file system to work properly. Therefore, you must make sure that your libraries are set up on case sensitive file system (Linux, recent MacOS, Windows NTFS with case sensitive enabled).

### 5/5 — Finally

*2026-08-07*

Update 2: It’s working again and I can’t rate the new dev highly enough for knowing there was a niche that needed to be filled and picking up the torch. Thank you for seeing the value in this.

Update: Calibre version 9 bricked it, if you absolutely rely on this app stay on the latest version of 8, doesn’t look like anyone’s seen a developer response for a fix in a few weeks now. Brilliant 5 star app, really hoping the dev returns to it.

There’s a few things I’ve learned in all my time spent meticulously curating, indexing, and cataloging my library through calibre and one of those is that certain file types, regardless of what you assign them in Calibres own metadata fields, do not hold certain types of metadata. So PDFs (and irritatingly enough, CBR/Zs) aren’t capable of being organised by series in e-readers. They also struggle with cloud syncing in the way that while they sync physical files, they won’t just show what you have in your cloud for download, and they certainly don’t keep that organised either.

CalibreSync completely solves these issues by not only mirroring your calibre library the way you’ve designed it, but also by making your collection viewable and searchable without needing physical copies of the files on your device (via cloud syncing), and downloadable on demand, whilst still being able to scroll through them all in an easily accessible catalogue of your own design. You can even open your books from here into your chosen e-reader. This is exactly the type of app I needed, and well worth the payment.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-07-19*

Permet d’avoir sur son iPhone une ou plusieurs bibliothèques Calibre accessibles car stockées dans un service cloud. Permet de récupérer un/plusieurs livres et les ouvrir dans son lecteur favori. Bien sûr fonctionne en « lecture seule » sur le service cloud. Pas d’écriture vers le cloud.

### 5/5 — Great app. Works well.

*2026-07-16*

It worked great to connect to my Calibre library. Syncs easily and gives me a great way to browse through my collection.

### 5/5 — Calibre Sync funktioniert wieder, vielen Dank!

Thanks to the new dev, this app works great again

**Developer response:** Hi, the new version of the app should fix the issue, please check it out, cheers.

### 5/5 — Works with calibre 9

*2026-05-20*

For anyone looking, the app has recently been taken over by a new developer and I can confirm it works now with calibre 9 — specifically I have my library in iCloud Drive, and everything does sync in and is accessible without issue. 

I would love a bit more customizability with the viewing options, but this does do everything in terms of displaying the library and being able to filter and download books without needing my computer on and running the content server in order to access my books on another device with all the metadata attached.

### 5/5 — New developer

*2026-05-19*

Now being supported again, great news excellent app. A must have if you have Calibre.

### 4/5 — Mostly great except the popup you can’t get rid of

*2026-05-18*

Notice reappears every launch even without configured cloud accounts/keychain use.”

**Developer response:** Hi,

You can dismiss that notice, after that, it will not show again.

Cheers

### 5/5 — Parfait compagnon pour Calibre

*2026-04-05*

Vraiment génial pour avoir un accès à sa bibliothèque Calibre depuis n’importe où ! Fonctionne parfaitement avec calibre v9 (ou v8).
