BiblioFuse Reader
Release history, bug fixes, known issues, and what's next — across all platforms.
QR setup for Kavita & Komga servers
The BiblioFuse QR Generator now creates scannable setup codes for Kavita and Komga servers. In BiblioFuse Pro, iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro, and Android phone/tablet can connect to OPDS, Kavita, and Komga catalogs.
v2.1.7 — Keyboard & controller shortcuts, unified Library UI
Reader keyboard shortcuts and a Paged/Continuous toggle on iOS and macOS. Vision Pro gets its own reader keyboard scheme, controller parity with iOS/macOS, and continuous left-stick scroll. Library sort, filter, and tag UI unified across iOS, Vision Pro, macOS, and tvOS. Fixed a Mac keyboard-focus bug that could corrupt the Settings panel, plus keyboard navigation across the macOS sidebar, grid, and reader.
v2.1.6 — Vision Pro streamed continuous archive mode
Vision Pro streaming now supports continuous archive mode with Look to Scroll boundary continuation, and gaze edge-scroll now covers single-page and EPUB readers across the main window, reader, and spatial modes. Fixed a Mac/PC premium-gating bug on Vision Pro.
v2.1.5 — BiblioFuse arrives on Apple TV
New native tvOS app with redesigned sidebar navigation, full reader controls with progress sync, and TTS. Streams from a Mac or PC over local Wi-Fi via Bonjour with pinned HTTPS — remote Tailscale streaming exists in the code but is parked behind a flag for a future release. Localized across all 11 languages.
v2.1.3–2.1.4 — BiblioFuse arrives on Apple Vision Pro
New native visionOS app, shipped under the same Universal Purchase as iPhone, iPad, and Mac — buy once, use on every Apple device. Spatial library browsing, reader fixes, window-preset zoom, onboarding, and TTS Now Playing lock-screen controls.
v2.1.2 — Bulk metadata editing & merge queue reordering
Bulk metadata editing — multi-select many books in your library and set rating and tags on all of them at once. Reorder files in the merge queue during compress/merge, drag them into the order you want before combining. Mac tag filter now has a clear button. Stability and polish across the library and stream views.
v2.1.1 — Save streamed Mac books & edit tags/rating remotely
Save streamed Mac books straight into your on-device library from the stream browser. Edit tags and star rating on remote (streamed) Mac books — changes post back to the Mac, on both iOS and macOS. New tag and rating filter in the stream browser to find what you're looking for faster.
v2.1.0 — TTS upgrade: sentence highlights, Now Playing & sleep timer
TTS sentence highlighting in the TXT reader on iOS and macOS — the current sentence glows as TTS reads. Now Playing lock-screen media controls on iOS and macOS. TTS sleep timer. Chapter-continuous TTS — audio keeps playing as TTS advances between chapters without stopping. Prefers the highest-quality installed voice on both platforms. Bluetooth HFP audio routing for iPhone. Hardened TTS cancellation for a clean stop.
v2.0.5 / v2.0.6 — TXT chapter nav & macOS iCloud fix
TXT reader tap navigation now scrolls within the current chapter before advancing to the next — matching reader expectations. macOS TXT reader is now chapter-based. Fixed iCloud container discovery on macOS: missing NSUbiquitousContainers entry in Info.plist caused streaming endpoint lookups to fail on fresh Mac installs.
v2.0.4 — iOS & macOS
Fixed stale Mac streaming connections and sort/filter toolbar controls in the Mac stream view.
v2.0.3 — iOS
Restored reading position on reader open for both iOS and macOS. Fixed auto-resume in CBZ/CBR paged and continuous modes.
v2.0.2 — iOS & macOS
First stable Mac→iOS streaming release. Secure HTTPS streaming via cert pinning (Tailscale). iCloud-based endpoint discovery for remote networks. Manual IP entry for custom VPN setups.
Secure streaming over Tailscale
Streaming now uses TLS with SPKI cert pinning, making it safe over 5G and remote networks via Tailscale. iCloud stores the Tailscale IP so iOS finds the Mac automatically.
Full 11-language localization
All app views — reader, library, tools, settings, streaming setup — are now localized in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and Malay.
PC — Keyboard & gamepad input aligned with iOS/macOS
Windows keyboard and gamepad input now follows the same reader shortcuts and navigation scheme shipped on iOS and macOS. Streaming catalog timestamps switched to whole-second ISO-8601 for consistent cross-platform sorting.
PC v1.0.8.0 — Pinned-HTTPS v2 & reading-progress writeback
Streaming now matches Mac's pinned-HTTPS-only display and iCloud writeback behavior, with stale endpoint artifacts swept before every iCloud write. Added a pinned-HTTPS v2 Bonjour contract and universal controller input. Reading progress from an iOS device streaming a PC library now writes back to the PC, with correct resume.
PC v1.0.6.0 — Live refresh from iOS-triggered scans
The PC library view now reloads automatically after an iOS device triggers a remote refresh scan, via a new stream refresh endpoint.
PC v1.0.5.0 — Bulk metadata editing & merge queue reordering
Bulk metadata editing — multi-select books and set rating and tags on all of them at once. Drag-to-reorder the merge/batch export queue before combining. Localized streaming setup onboarding across all 11 languages. Library annotations now refresh live from stream updates.
PC v1.0.3.0 — Self-contained Store package
Rebuilt as a fully self-contained MSIX package: all runtime dependencies are bundled so no separate .NET or WinUI runtime install is required on the user's machine.
PC v1.0.2.0 — TTS reader controls & iCloud endpoint fix
Ported reader TTS controls and settings from the iOS/macOS app to the Windows reader — speed, voice selection, and sleep timer now available in the PC reader. Restricted iCloud endpoint folder matching to prevent false streaming endpoint discovery.

Known Issues
Streaming requires Tailscale — LAN-only mode not available
iOS's App Transport Security blocks plain HTTP to local IPs. Tailscale is required for both home Wi-Fi and remote streaming. A LAN-only mode without Tailscale is not currently in the roadmap.
SMB network access unverified
SMB drive access on Android has not been fully tested in recent releases.
Roadmap
Microsoft Store public launch
Awaiting Store approval. Will be available as a free download with a 7-day trial and one-time lifetime purchase.
TTS resume from scroll position
Text-to-speech will resume from your current visible scroll position instead of the chapter top. Targeting the next App Store release.
LAN streaming without Tailscale
Home Wi-Fi streaming without needing Tailscale installed. Currently parked — technical constraints around iOS ATS make this complex.
Cross-platform reading progress sync
Sync your reading position between iOS, macOS, and PC via iCloud.
