A personal library for web fiction and ebooks
Your stories.Your shelf.
Fiction Reader follows stories on the fiction sites you read, downloads the chapters, and keeps your place. It reads your own ebooks too, and it runs on hardware you own.

The short version
A reading tool you run yourself
You run Fiction Reader on your own computer, phone or server. It talks to the sites you choose and keeps the library on storage you control.
Keep what you download
Downloaded chapters are yours to keep. If an author edits one you get both versions, and if one is deleted your copy stays.
Bring your books
Import EPUB, Kindle and other ebook files and read them in the same app, with the same progress and highlights.
Stay in control
Your stories, logins and settings stay on your device or your server. There's no Fiction Reader account.
Sync if you want to
Google Drive sync is optional and only uses a hidden folder of the app's own. The app can't see your ordinary Drive files.
Read responsibly
Only use accounts and content you're entitled to. Each site's rules still apply to you.
About Google Drive
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.
A personal project
Fiction Reader is developed independently and you host it yourself. There's no central user database, no advertising and no library service run by the developer. It comes with no promise of support, and whoever runs a copy is responsible for how it's set up and used.
