# 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 ## Licensing Colibri is licensed under the [GNU AGPL v3](LICENSE). This means you can use, modify, and distribute it freely, but if you run a modified version of Colibri that is accessible to others, you must also make your modifications available under the same license. Considering Colibri is expressly _not_ intended to be run as a commercial service, this license should be a good fit. **This license applies to all packages in this monorepo, unless otherwise noted.** ## Contributing If you'd like to contribute to Colibri, please read the [contributing guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) first. All contributions are welcome, be it code, documentation, design, or anything else!
