Myne is a FOSS Android application for downloading and reading ebooks from Project Gutenberg. It uses the GutenDex API to fetch metadata for ebooks in the backend. Additionally, it functions as an EPUB reader, allowing you to easily import and immerse yourself in your favorite EPUB books!

Highlights:

- Clean & beautiful UI based on Google's material design three guidelines.
- Browse and download over 70k free ebooks available in multiple languages and updated daily.
- Comes with inbuilt ebook reader while also having an option to use third-party ebook readers
- Compatible with Android 7.0 and above (API 24+)
- Supports Material You theming in devices running on Android 12+
- Comes in both light and dark mode.
- MAD: UI and logic written with pure Kotlin. Single activity, no fragments, only composable destinations.

PS: *The name of the app is inspired from the main character of an anime called Ascendance of a Bookworm.*

WhatsNew:

- Fix one edge case in ebook reader.
- Added French translation.
- Minor fixes and performance improvements.

Hint: This app is available in both, F-Droid Main and IzzyOnDroid repos. For details on this, please see here.

Anti-Features:

NonFreeNet (this application promotes/depends a non-Free network service):
⇒ App connects to gutenberg.org and gutendex.com.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.

Libraries:

Android Support v4 (Development Framework)
The Android Support Library is not actually a single library, but rather a collection of libraries that can roughly be divided into two groups: compatibility and component libraries. For details, please see Understanding the Android Support Library.
AppCompat (Utility)
support newer Android features on older Android versions.
Jetpack Compose (Development Framework)
a framework to define UIs programmatically with composable functions that describe its shape and data dependencies.
Constraint Layout Library (Utility)
library to reduce the number of nested views needed.
Coordinatorlayout (UI Component)
AndroidX library to position top-level application widgets, such as AppBarLayout and FloatingActionButton.
Androidx Core (Utility)
a static library that you can add to your Android application in order to use APIs that are either not available for older platform versions or utility APIs that aren't a part of the framework APIs.
DataStore (Development Aid)
stores data asynchronously, consistently, and transactionally, overcoming some of the drawbacks of SharedPreferences.
Android Emoji2 Compat (UI Component)
core library to enable emoji compatibility in Kitkat and newer devices to avoid the empty emoji characters.
AndroidX Fragment (UI Component)
AndroidX library to encapsulate part of the user interface or behavior into reusable components.
Androidx Graphics (Utility)
leverages graphics facilities across multiple Android platform releases.
Lifecycle (Utility)
perform actions in response to a change in the lifecycle status of another component, such as activities and fragments.
ProfileInstaller (Utility)
AndroidX library that enables libraries to prepopulate ahead of time compilation traces to be read by ART.
Room (Utility)
a persistence library that provides an abstraction layer over SQLite to allow for more robust database access while harnessing the full power of SQLite.
Recyclerview (Utility)
display large sets of data in your UI while minimizing memory usage.
Startup (Utility)
AndroidX library to implement a straightforward, performant way to initialize components at app startup.
Android Jetpack VersionedParcelable (Utility)
Provides a stable but relatively compact binary serialization format that can be passed across processes or persisted safely.
Custom Activity On Crash library (Utility)
library that allows launching a custom activity when your app crashes, instead of showing the hated „Unfortunately, X has stopped“ dialog.
Coil (Utility)
an image loading library for Android backed by Kotlin Coroutines.
Lottie for Android (UI Component)
Render After Effects animations natively.
Google Material Design (Utility)
library to help with material design guidelines.
