Enve (yes, like envy) is a one-person project. The roadmap is shaped by feedback from a Discord full of avid book readers. The fact that anyone wants to use this little app, let alone hang out in a Discord about it, is genuinely cool.
It's home for both iOS and Android, plus the Music and Video players. Channels for FAQ, bug reports, feature requests, and general chat about books, setups, and whatever.
A quick read. Skim before posting.
Most common questions about features, downloads, servers, sync. The version on this site mirrors it.
If something broke, this is where the dev wants to hear about it. Specifics help. What you did, what happened, what version.
Got an idea? Drop it here. The roadmap is community-shaped.
Chat about books, your reading setup, whatever's adjacent. The community is welcoming.
Platform-specific discussion. The dev pings these channels for major announcements.
The project started as a simple idea for me and my friends to share my Plex library for audiobooks without having to pay for a service like Prologue. It was also how I learned Swift.
About a year and a half later, it has turned into an audiobook player, an ebook reader, a comic reader, and a podcast player, with support for Plex, Audiobookshelf, Grimmory, and a long list of other services. Most of that expansion came from feedback from the Discord community.
Enve Book Player is free, for every feature. No paywalls, no subscription locks. The community made it what it is, and the community gets to benefit from it.
If you want to support the work, the Buy Me a Coffee link is the only place for that, and it's never expected. Using the app and reporting bugs is already a huge help.
Thanks for being here.

In the last stages before a real release. Mostly testing every feature. There are a ton, and it takes a while. If something works but doesn't feel right or isn't intuitive, the dev wants to know.
Now in open testing on Google Play (out of closed testing). Progress is slower than iOS because of the Play review cycle. Updates come in larger drops rather than a constant trickle. The dev is open to community input on whether to temporarily strip Android Auto for faster releases.
Out and in TestFlight, but still early in development. Plex is the most polished backend today, with Jellyfin and Emby in active testing. Bug reports help a lot.
Not out yet. Launching soon. The core flows are built and working; a public TestFlight track will open once the rough edges are sanded down. Discord gets the link first.
No subscription. No "Pro" tier. If you want to chip in for the dev's coffee, this is the only link for it.
