Alex
A private, self-hosted reader for PDFs and EPUBs. Add your files and read them from any browser, on hardware you control.
Install
Download the desktop app, or use Docker for an always-on server.
Your library
Works with EPUB and PDF files from a local folder or a remote S3/R2 bucket. Browse your collection, keep your place, and read without tracking or recommendations.
A private relay
Serve your collection from your laptop to anyone in the world through a private relay server. Minimize the app, then let invited readers sign in with a username and password.
Collections
Group books into collections and serve each one individually, so people see only the books you choose to share.
