Books

Hub for everything book-related: switching between books on this device, the active book's data operations (backup, import, export), the encrypted-file share, and the cloud library (Google Drive or Dropbox).

Switching

Tap a row to open that book. The current book closes; React Query caches are cleared so nothing stale flashes from the previous book during the switch.

Adding

Tap New book at the bottom of the Other books list to create one — same flow as the initial onboarding step.

Deleting

Tap the trash icon on the right of a row to permanently remove the database file from this device. There is no undo.
On native, deleting also wipes the biometric / saved password associated with that book in the OS keychain.
On web, the encrypted IndexedDB snapshot is removed alongside the SQLite file.
You can't delete the currently-open book — switch to a different one first. The trash icon is disabled on the active row.

Import from Cloud (conditional)

Visible when Cloud connection is enabled and you're signed in to a cloud provider (Google Drive or Dropbox — one at a time). Tap to scan that provider for .db / .amdb files saved from another device; tick the ones you want and import. They land as new books alongside your existing ones; no overwrite risk.

Collaboration

The banner at the top says what this book is doing: Offline (only here), Cloud sync (backed up to your storage) or Shared (live with other devices). A book does one of the three, never two at once.

The Collaboration section is where sharing starts and ends:

Set up collaboration — share this book with another device. Needs a book password first, and replaces Cloud sync for this book.
Join a shared book — the other direction: someone sent you an invite link to their book. This creates a new book on this device and leaves your existing ones alone.
Once a book is shared you get its sync status here, plus Invite a device and Manage devices if you're the owner, and Leave collaboration.

Leaving stops this device syncing and keeps your local copy. It doesn't affect anyone else on the book.

Tips

Take a fresh backup (More → Backup) before deleting any book you might want to restore later.
Books that have never been opened sort alphabetically after every opened book.
The lock icon on the right of an encrypted book name is a reminder that you'll be prompted for a password on first open.
