Browse the shelves
Walk the catalogue’s collections and shelves over the network — OPDS 1.2 and 2.0 alike — turning pages of results as you browse.
OPDS & Calibre
Your shelves, wherever they live.
Tomelet connects to your Calibre content server or any OPDS catalogue — the public library down the street, or the server under your desk. Browse and search over the network, then bring a book home with one tap.
Free to read, no account required.
What you can do
Browse first, download when it earns a shelf.
The catalogue stays on the server; only the books you choose come home.
Search the catalogue
Find a title or an author on the server before downloading anything.
Sign in where it asks
Catalogues that need a login take a username and password, a bearer token or an API key — kept in your device’s secure storage.
Downloads join your library
A book you download imports through the normal pipeline: its metadata is read, duplicates are skipped, and it is ready to open.
Calibre, specifically
Calibre stays the librarian.
If you keep your ebooks in Calibre, Tomelet reads the shelves and metadata you already curated — no second system to maintain.
- Your metadata, keptTitles, authors, series and covers arrive as Calibre wrote them.
- Nothing to re-importPoint Tomelet at the content server once; new books appear as you add them.
- Still yours, still offlineDownloaded books live on your device and read without a connection.
OPDS, in one sentence
OPDS is the open standard ebook apps use to browse library catalogues over the network — think of it as RSS for bookshelves.
If your library or server speaks it, Tomelet speaks it too.
FAQ
Questions & answers
Can I read my Calibre library in Tomelet?
Yes. Connect your Calibre content server over OPDS to browse and search it, then download books into your library with their Calibre metadata.
Does Tomelet work with public library catalogues?
Any catalogue that speaks OPDS 1.2 or 2.0 works — browse, search and download, with sign-in where the catalogue asks for it.
Are my catalogue passwords safe?
Your sign-in details live in your device’s secure storage — never in plain text, and never sent anywhere except the catalogue you signed in to.
