# Colibri

Self-hosted ebook library with a gorgeous web interface, book collections, and metadata editing.



Colibri allows you to manage your books, sort them into collections, and to read and download them. It is built on

[SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev) and can run in serverless environments. Colibri also employs password-less

authentication via [Passkeys](https://www.passkeys.io).

> **Hey there!** 👋

> Colibri is **still under active development** and not ready for prime-time yet. I'm also looking for contributors and

> co-maintainers on the project: There is *a lot* left to do, and I have big plans for the app (none of them involve

> making it a paid product, by the way).

>

> If you'd like to be a part of this effort and contribute something—code, design-wise, or anything else really—please

> contact me!

Features

--------

- Simple library management: Import your ebooks, update their metadata, and get a neat library accessible from all your

  devices.

- Automatic metadata retrieval: Colibri will automatically fetch information about books, authors, and publishers from

  public knowledge graph data.

- Easy search integration: Colibri integrates search services to index and search content in your library.

- Seamless passkey authentication: By using passkeys, you can sign in to Colibri using Windows Hello, Touch ID or Face

  ID

  and similar authenticators.

- Book collections: Colibri allows you to create collections for your books.

- Easy to self-host: Colibri is built for maximum flexibility. Run it on Docker, Cloudflare, Vercel, AWS or directly on

  Node.js. Thanks to [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev), Colibri can run pretty much anywhere.

- Secure: Colibri uses modern web technologies and is built with security in mind. It does not track you, and it does

  not

  send your data to third parties.

Project Goals

-------------

Colibri tries to enable you to:

- Self-host a delightful, secure, and capable bookshelf for yourself and your family

- Form a small, private social network around reading with your family and friends

- Store, analyse, and enhance your ebook files

- Publish your reading lists and reviews

### Non-goals

Colibri does not aim to:

- Replace your existing ebook reader (nor Calibre, for that matter)

- Make it easy to pirate books

- Be a community for exchanging books with lots of people
