# EPUBShelf 2.0.0 [A light novel library manager] Organise your EPUB library by series. A desktop application for managing a large EPUB collection — automatic metadata extraction, cover art pulled from inside each book, reading progress tracking, and search. Built for people with more books than shelf space. --- ## What's new in 2.0.0 **Volume cover preview.** Hover a volume thumbnail — or tab to it — and the full-size cover floats above the list. The thumbnails are 42×63 px, too small to tell one volume from another; this shows the real artwork without leaving the page. Each cover keeps its own proportions, and `Esc` dismisses it. **Bandua Studio branding.** New loading screen, and the About dialog was rebuilt with the studio identity, social profiles, and support links with copy-to-clipboard. --- ## Downloads | File | Platform | Size | |---|---|---| | `EPUBShelf-2.0.0.AppImage` | Linux x86-64 (any distro) | 102.2 MiB | | `epub-shelf_2.0.0_amd64.deb` | Linux amd64 (Debian/Ubuntu) | 71.0 MiB | | `EPUBShelf-Setup-2.0.0.exe` | Windows x64 — installer | 74.8 MiB | | `EPUBShelf-2.0.0.exe` | Windows x64 — portable, no install | 74.5 MiB | | `EPUBShelf-2.0.0-arm64.dmg` | macOS 10.15+ — **Apple silicon only** | 90.8 MiB | | `README.md` | Documentation | 11 KB | **Linux (AppImage):** `chmod +x EPUBShelf-2.0.0.AppImage` then run it. **Note on architecture:** every build is **64-bit**. The Linux builds are x86-64, the Windows builds are x64, and the macOS build is **arm64 only** — it will not run on an Intel Mac, and there is no Intel build. --- ## ⚠️ These builds are not code-signed No code signing certificates are used — they cost more per year than this project will ever earn. **The applications are safe, but your OS cannot verify that on its own**, so both Windows and macOS will warn you on first launch. This is normal for unsigned open-source software, and the warnings are one-time. ### Windows — SmartScreen On first launch Windows may show **"Windows protected your PC"** with an unknown publisher. 1. Click **"More info"** 2. Click **"Run anyway"** Antivirus false positives are also more common with unsigned executables. The **portable** `EPUBShelf-2.0.0.exe` is the simplest route — it needs no installer and raises no installer-level warnings. ### macOS — Gatekeeper The `.dmg` is **arm64 only** and will **not run on Intel Macs**. The app is unsigned and not notarized, so macOS blocks it with one of: - *"EPUBShelf cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified."* - *"EPUBShelf is damaged and can't be opened."* — misleading; the download is fine, Gatekeeper simply cannot verify it. **Fix, no Terminal:** 1. Drag the app to `/Applications` 2. **Right-click** (or Control-click) the app → **Open** → **Open** again On macOS 15 Sequoia and later: double-click once, then go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security**, scroll down, and click **"Open Anyway"**. **Fix, with Terminal** — clears the quarantine flag: ```bash xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/EPUBShelf.app" ``` Either way it is a **one-time confirmation per install**; afterwards it launches by double-click. --- ## Features - **Recursive EPUB scanner** — index an entire folder tree, cached so the second scan is instant - **Series detection** — volumes grouped automatically, with covers and metadata read from inside each EPUB - **Reading progress** — per-volume read / unread / pending, persisted locally - **Search** — `Ctrl+K` across titles and authors - **Sorting** — by name, reading progress, or last updated - **Dark & light themes** - **Statistics** — library overview, state breakdown, and 30-day activity Everything runs on your machine. No account, no cloud, no telemetry. --- ## Screenshots !Series grid !Volume detail --- ## Links - **Source & releases:** - **Issues:** - **Licence:** MIT --- ## Support EPUBShelf is free and open source.
