A library
worth the envy.

Enve is a family of private apps, each built for what it does best. Book, music, and video players for the servers you already own, connected Markdown notes, a retro game player for your own game libraries, plus Game Master for iOS tabletop campaigns and local AI DM play.

The apps

Six apps. One design language.

Works with

What you get

Built to handle a real library.

Bring your own server

Audiobookshelf, Plex, Komga, Kavita, Jellyfin, Emby, Grimmory, BookOrbit, Silo, OPDS, WebDAV, Premiumize, Real-Debrid, Storyteller. Or just a folder of files. Mix as many as you want.

Sync that actually works

iCloud, server-native progress, KOReader/KOSync, and Hardcover. When two sources disagree, Enve asks you which one to trust. Nothing is silently overwritten.

CarPlay now · Android Auto soon

CarPlay is available on iOS today. Android Auto is planned for the Android build and will arrive in an upcoming update; the current delay is due to a Google Play Connect upload-timing issue.

Read or listen. Or both.

EPUB (including Readium LCP), PDF, CBZ/CBR, and converted KF8/AZW3. Built-in TTS. On iOS 26+, StoryAlign highlights words in real narration audio.

Highlight, annotate, export

Highlights, bookmarks, and audiobook notes export as Markdown. Drops straight into Obsidian. Tap-to-define saves vocabulary you can ship to Anki.

Built for huge libraries

Tested at 50,000+ books. Parallel pagination, throttled sync writes, efficient batching. The first scan is slow. Nothing else is.

Smart collections

Build collections by author, narrator, genre, duration, progress, status. Or drag and drop your own. Filters apply across every connected source.

Offline-first downloads

Background downloads, resume support, Wi-Fi-only toggle with per-download override. Nothing breaks when the train goes underground.

Private by default

No analytics. No tracking. No third-party SDKs. No account. Credentials live in the iOS Keychain or Android encrypted storage. Never logged, never sent anywhere.

From the dev

Independently built. Free, always.

Enve started because Plex audiobook playback wasn't good enough. A year and a half later it plays books, comics, podcasts, music, and video, runs tabletop campaigns, and is learning to play retro games, because the community in the Discord kept asking and because building it has been a blast. No envy required.
