legado

Project Overview

"Legado - Personal Enhanced Branch" is an Android reader the developer uses personally, forked from Legado Sigma. It keeps the original custom book sources, local reading, and replacement cleaning, and adds a set of personal touches: reading history and statistics, an LLM-powered AI assistant, idea annotations with export, reading receipts, WebDAV enhancements, and theme export. The project states clearly that it provides no book resources and exists only as a reading tool.

A classic reader plus a bit of statistics, a bit of AI, and a bit of ceremony.

Key Features

• Reading history: records daily reading data with stats and export, and can feed a visualization project for charts
• AI assistant: connects to an LLM to chat, call tools, query the shelf, and even help take notes
• Idea annotations: long-press text to write an idea, generate a share card, and export to Obsidian
• Reading receipt: shows a small receipt on a book's first and last pages with rating and reading time
• WebDAV enhancements: delete and rename cloud backups locally without visiting a web UI
• Finished/re-read tags: mark books as finished or re-read for an at-a-glance shelf
• Theme export: export all theme settings in one tap for sharing or migration
• Web API extensions: extra endpoints for external agents to manage the shelf
• UI refresh: the interface adopts Material Design 3 throughout

Target Audience

• Long-time Legado or Legado Sigma users
• Users who want to record and visualize reading data
