About this app

Tome turns your ebook and audiobook library into a private, social reading space — like Plex, but for books.

Self-host the server from your own hardware. Invite friends and family. Read alone, or read together: form a spoiler-safe book club around a single title, sync progress across devices, and chat chapter-by-chapter with people who are exactly as far in as you are.

Highlights
• Self-hosted library — keep your ebooks and audiobooks on your own machine.
• Cross-device progress — pick up audio and EPUB right where you left off.
• Book clubs — invite friends, share a pace, and discuss without spoilers.
• Public-domain catalog — Project Gutenberg and LibriVox are first-class.
• Reading stats — streaks, current shelf, finished shelf, friends' activity.
• Privacy first — no ads, no trackers. You own the library.

A demo library at tome.chrisarroyo.dev is preloaded for first-run exploration. To self-host the server side, see the project at tome.app.
Self-host your ebooks + audiobooks. Read with friends in spoiler-safe clubs.

The home-screen widget on iOS now shows book cover art. Plus more reliable loading: ebooks now fail fast with a Retry button if your library server can't be reached.
