OpenShelf

Your Mac library, with you on iPhone and iPad. OpenShelf for iPhone and iPad is the native companion to OpenShelf on Mac. Browse your collection, find a book, update your Reading Status or Wish List, and read supported EPUBs inside the app. REQUIRES OPENSHELF ON MAC Set up your library in OpenShelf on Mac first. Enable iCloud Library there, sign in with the same Apple Account on your devices, and allow the initial publication to finish. Turn on Include primary book files on Mac to make supported book files available for download and reading on iPhone and iPad. The mobile app does not import books or replace the Mac’s library-management tools. Without a Mac-published library, there is no mobile collection to browse. READ INSIDE OPENSHELF Open DRM-free, reflowable EPUBs in a full-screen reader. Pick up at your saved passage, add bookmarks, search within the book and navigate its contents and internal links. Choose page swipes or continuous scrolling and see chapter, page and completion information. Choose from six page palettes, System/Light/Dark appearance, font and text-size options, and a display-brightness slider. Customize line, letter and word spacing, margins and optional text justification. Your text updates as you adjust the controls, with Reset and Undo for layout changes. Set OpenShelf as your default EPUB reader or choose Other App to use Apple’s system picker. Locally available books can be read offline. PDFs retain their existing system document-preview behavior. Protected and fixed-layout EPUBs are not supported by the built-in reader. BROWSE AND FIND YOUR BOOKS Browse authors, series, genres and personal tags. See tag counts, filter your collection and search using tags alongside other book details. Library, Browse and Search keep separate navigation so you can move between them easily. View book information, update manual Reading Status and maintain your Wish List. Cloud-only files show their availability and download progress when you open them. PRIVATE LIBRARY SYNC Your Mac publishes catalog records, covers and selected book files to your private iCloud database. Reading Status and Wish List changes can synchronize between supported devices. Reader positions, bookmarks, reader choice and appearance preferences stay on each device in this version and do not synchronize through iCloud. OpenShelf does not change Reading Status automatically or collect reading-time statistics. External reading apps retain their own positions and bookmarks. No OpenShelf account is required. There is no Libravo-hosted library server, advertising, analytics or cross-app tracking. The iPhone and iPad companion has no metadata-provider or AI request interface. Metadata editing, imports, file management and optional research remain on Mac.
