Highlights

Reader

  • Text-to-speech for novels — paragraph-level read-aloud with OS lock-screen controls, sleep timer (5 / 15 / 30 / 60 min / End
    of chapter), word/paragraph progress, auto-scroll to the active paragraph, resume-from-current-scroll, voice & language picker,
    pitch / volume / paragraph-pause sliders, pronunciation dictionary, "skip markup" cleanup, per-book voice + rate overrides.
  • Double-page spread for manga (auto / single / dual modes) with RTL pair flip.
  • Fit presets (Width / Height / Screen) for manga pages.
  • Per-book novel theme override (background, font).
  • Font picker per book with curated Google Fonts.
  • Auto-scroll for novels (mirror of the manga reader's, per-book).
  • Dictionary lookup on long-press in novels (cached, offline-friendly).
  • Save to gallery improvements on long-press (better filename, haptic feedback).

Sources / Providers

  • Composite-key isolation — two repos can now publish the same source without overwriting each other.
  • Collapsible source picker grouped by repo.
  • Per-source settings UI — providers can expose a settings schema (getSettings() in JS) and users get a generated form.
  • Auto-switch source on failure — when a source breaks, search the others by title similarity and suggest a swap.

Privacy / Security

  • App Lock — PIN + biometric, configurable re-lock timeout, "Hide app preview" (FLAG_SECURE).
  • Incognito mode — session-only toggle, skips history / progress / tracker writes, bypasses the image disk cache.

Storage

  • Storage location picker — pick an SD card / external folder via Storage Access Framework, migrate existing downloads.

Quality of life

  • In-app changelog viewer with "What's new" sheet on version bumps.
  • Auto-update from GitHub releases — checks Spyou/Sozo-Read for newer versions, downloads + installs via the Android package
    installer.
  • Library sync upgrades — lastSeenChapterCount now syncs across devices, "Sync now" + last-synced display in Profile.
  • Long-press menus on home cards (View details / Add to library / Share) and Continue Reading rows.
  • Collapsible bookmark groups by chapter.
  • Stability: fixed Scudo OOM via size-capped image cache, foreground-service notification crash on Android 14, search lockup
    after multiple queries.

Auto-update

If you're already on v1.2 from a previous install, the in-app updater will detect this release automatically.
