Discover and follow
Search supported fiction sources, subscribe deliberately, and check for updates at conservative per-site rates.
A personal library for web fiction and ebooks
Your stories.Your shelf.
Fiction Reader discovers, archives and reads stories from supported fiction sites, keeps revisions and reading progress, imports books you already own, and can carry your library state between your own devices.
One reader-owned library — not a public content serviceDesktop · Android · Web
The short version
A reading tool, not another platform
You run Fiction Reader on your own computer or server. It talks directly to the sources you choose and stores the resulting library in storage you control.
Archive for reading
Sanitise downloaded chapters, preserve edits as revisions, retain deleted chapters, and read without the surrounding distractions.
Bring your books
Import supported ebook files into the same library and keep progress and organisation alongside web stories.
Stay in control
Metadata, content, credentials and preferences stay on the device or private server you operate—not in a Fiction Reader developer account.
Sync narrowly
Optional Google Drive access is limited to Fiction Reader's hidden app-data folder. The app cannot browse ordinary Drive files.
Read responsibly
Use only accounts and content you are entitled to access. Source-site rules still apply, and Fiction Reader is not an exemption from them.
Google Drive, plainly explained
Optional sync between your devices
Connecting Google Drive grants Fiction Reader permission to view and manage only data that Fiction Reader itself places in a hidden application-data folder. This may include reading state, annotations, library organisation, selected settings, source configuration, encrypted source-credential records, sync metadata and copies of your own imported books when you enable book sync. Plaintext source secrets and the library encryption key are never placed in Drive. The permission does not grant access to list, read or change ordinary files in My Drive.
Personal by design
Fiction Reader is an independently developed, self-hosted application. It has no central user database, advertising network or developer-operated library service. It is provided without a promise of general support, and the person running a copy remains responsible for its configuration and use.
