BeePub is a self-hosted ebook management and reading platform designed as a modern alternative to Calibre-Web. It supports EPUB files and automatically converts TXT novels to EPUB format on upload. The platform offers a web-based reader with progress tracking, highlights, notes, and table of contents, plus a native iOS app built with Capacitor for mobile reading.
Features include offline reading, OPDS catalog support for e-readers, KOReader progress synchronization, and optional AI-assisted capabilities like semantic search, book recommendations, and companion chat. The maker built it with Claude Code and reports using it daily. It works standalone or alongside existing Calibre libraries, with strong support for CJK text and vertical reading layouts.
