Activity unknown
No repository statistics available for this project.
LazyLibrarian is an automation tool for managing ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines by tracking authors and titles you want. It collects metadata from multiple book data sources, searches for matching releases, and can hand off downloads to supported Usenet or torrent clients.
Key Features
- Track authors and automatically discover their books
- Mark ebooks and audiobooks as wanted and monitor availability
- Search for NZB files, torrents, or magnet links for wanted titles
- Send downloads to supported clients (e.g., SABnzbd, NZBGet, Deluge, Transmission, qBittorrent) or use a “black hole” directory
- Optional import and integration with existing Calibre libraries, including tools like calibredb
- Save cover art and write Calibre-compatible metadata (metadata.opf) alongside downloaded files
- OPDS catalog interface for browsing and downloading from compatible ebook clients
- Magazine search and monitoring for new issues
- Responsive web UI designed to work well on smaller screens
Use Cases
- Automatically keep a personal ebook/audiobook library up to date as authors release new titles
- Enrich an existing library with consistent metadata and cover art compatible with Calibre
- Provide an OPDS feed for ebook devices and apps to browse and download your collection
Limitations and Considerations
- Search and download capabilities depend on external indexers/providers and the configuration of your download clients
- Metadata quality and matching accuracy can vary by source and edition
LazyLibrarian is well-suited for readers who want a largely hands-off workflow for discovering, downloading, and organizing digital books. With Calibre integration and OPDS support, it can fit into both curated library setups and automated acquisition pipelines.
