Symposium: Calibre Companion

Now 1.1: Digest auth, stronger EPUB progress sync, series grouping, and OPDS facets. Still one-time $4.99 after a 14-day trial — no subscription.

The Calibre companion app that iOS has been missing.

Symposium connects wirelessly to your Calibre content server so you can browse, search, and download books from your entire library — on iPhone and iPad. Full metadata, series, tags, covers, and ratings synced from your Calibre database over your local network.

No subscription. 14-day free trial, then $4.99 one-time. Everything included.

WIRELESS CONNECTION OVER BONJOUR Symposium automatically discovers your Calibre content server on your local Wi‑Fi network. No cloud account required. Enter a host and port manually when connecting over the internet or on a custom network.

FULL CALIBRE LIBRARY BROWSING See your Calibre library the way you organized it: series, tags, ratings, and descriptions. Search across your catalog. Browse by author, tag, series, and newest additions. Select New & Changed surfaces books added or updated since your last visit.

OPDS 1.2 CATALOGS Browse and download from OPDS-compatible catalogs — Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, and your own custom OPDS URLs. Search within catalogs and save downloads to your offline library.

OFFLINE LIBRARY Download EPUB and PDF books to your device for offline reading. Manage storage from Settings. Your books remain in Calibre — Symposium keeps local copies for reading on the go.

READING & PROGRESS SYNC Read EPUB and PDF books in-app with 10 built-in reading themes. Optional reading progress sync sends your position and reading status back to Calibre when enabled.

WHY SYMPOSIUM? Calibre Companion was discontinued years ago. BookFusion requires a monthly subscription. Symposium was built for Calibre users who want a modern, maintained companion — with a one-time purchase and no recurring fees.

REQUIREMENTS • Calibre (free, calibre-ebook.com) with Content Server enabled, for Calibre library features • iOS 17.0 or later • Local network access for Bonjour discovery on Wi‑Fi • Internet access for OPDS catalogs and remote server connections
