novel-sound

Project Overview

什锦铺 targets Android users who want reading + dramas + audiobooks in one app. Flutter UI for the interface, an in-process Rust core for networking and data handling. No self-run servers — online content comes from third-party services. No root required. Android 7.0+ supported, plus a Windows desktop version. GPL-3.0. Bookmarks, reading progress, download cache, audiobook sleep timer and WebDAV cloud sync all live locally.

Notes

• No official Linux / macOS / iOS packages yet: Linux / Arch community port in progress (Issue #308); iPhone and Mac are not currently supported
• No self-run servers: online content depends on third-party services, which may break if the source changes or network fluctuates; persistent failures → report on GitHub Issues
• Backup does NOT include: local ebook files, downloaded cache, reading duration, highlights and settings — these must be kept separately
• Desktop exe name: Windows executable is fqapp.exe, not novel-sound.exe
