## What is Smriti for Calibre?

Smriti is a book reader for iPhone and iPad whose catalogue is your own Calibre-Web server.

IMPORTANT: Smriti is not a bookstore. It neither sells nor gives away books. You need a Calibre-Web server of your own with the OPDS catalogue enabled, and an account on that server. Without one, the app has nothing to show you.

WHAT IT DOES, FOR FREE

• Your whole library in a grid of covers, with authors, categories, recent additions and search across the catalogue.
• It opens offline. The catalogue and the covers are kept on the device, so the app starts on the train just as it does at home — and it tells you that what you are seeing is the cached copy.
• Downloads with real progress and resuming: if the connection drops, it carries on from where it was instead of starting over.
• A proper reader: paged or continuous scrolling, light, sepia and dark themes, typeface, size, margins, line height, justification with hyphenation, and a table of contents.
• Your page follows you. Reading position syncs between your iPhone and your iPad through iCloud: leave a book at 30% on one and the other offers to take you there.
• Deleting a download frees the space and does not lose your place.

SMRITI PRO — ONE-TIME, OPTIONAL PURCHASE

• Highlights and notes on the text, in five colours, with a per-book list in reading order.
• Your annotations sync between your devices through iCloud as well.

Everything else is free and will stay free. No subscription, no ads, no account to create.

PRIVACY

Smriti collects no data. No analytics, no third-party SDKs, no advertising. Your credentials live in the device Keychain, your books travel from your server to your device, and your reading position and annotations go to the private database of your own iCloud. Nobody else can read them.

REQUIREMENTS

• A Calibre-Web server reachable from the device, with OPDS enabled.
• iOS or iPadOS 17 or later.
• For syncing, the same iCloud account on both devices.

Smriti (स्मृति) means "that which is remembered".

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-19

- New in Settings: Send feedback. Write anything you like and it reaches me directly, without opening Mail. If you're offline, it goes out on its own once you're back.
- Technical details (version, system, model and language) are optional. Your books and your server's address are never sent.
- Also in Settings: Rate Smriti on the App Store.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-14

- What's new, on every update: whenever Smriti changes, we tell you when you open the app — at a glance, and only once. Skip a few versions and you see everything you missed.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-11

Optimized for iPhone Duo.

- Open it like a book and you read two pages, one on each side of the fold: no line ever
  runs across the hinge, even with large text.
- Half folded on a table, the page stays on top and the table of contents, the scrubber,
  bookmarks and settings sit below it, always at hand and never covering the text.
- The library uses both halves: sections on one side, your shelves on the other.
- Folding or unfolding keeps you on the same page.

Also in this version:
- Continue Reading shows how far you are and how long is left, at your own reading pace.
- Downloaded no longer repeats the books you are reading.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-30

Reader improvements:
- Dictionary: select a word and tap Define.
- Search inside the book and jump to each result.
- Page bookmarks, synced across your devices with iCloud.
- Two-page spreads on iPad in landscape.
- Seamless chapter transitions in continuous mode.
- Each theme remembers its own brightness and warm light.
- Book slider with Go Back, table of contents opened at the current chapter, and instant reopening at your last page.
- Read With: open your books in another app if you prefer.
- iCloud: a new iPad or iPhone finds your libraries and only asks for the password.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-29

No release notes.
