What’s in it:

  • Optional updates: a pop-up offers Update now, Do it later or Skip this version. Nothing downloads until you click Update now, and then it offers a restart. Skip is remembered per version, and Check for updates in Settings still works.
  • Full screen: F11 or the new button. Moving the mouse to the top edge slides the tabs and controls in over the book without shifting the text. Esc leaves full screen, but if auto scroll or read aloud is running, the first Esc stops that instead.
  • Title bar (Windows only): the tabs sit in the title strip next to the window buttons, and the strip changes colour with your theme. The tab strip hides when only one book is open (the library page still shows it). Linux keeps its normal title bar.
  • Screen stays awake during auto scroll and read aloud, and is released on pause, stop or leaving the book.
  • Shortcuts guide: press F1 or use Settings.

For first time download on windows, only download bulleye-setup.exe and launch when it's done downloading. The app will setup and open.

For first time download on linux, download bulleye-linux-x64.tar.gz and extract the folder.

Full installation procedures are in the attached PDF.

bulleye 1.4.0

What's new

  • Open several books at once. Books open in tabs, like Acrobat. Going back to the library keeps them open. Put the tab bar at the top or bottom in Settings.
  • Reading stats and streaks. Books read, time read (hours, minutes, seconds), average per day, streaks in days and weeks, your best streak, and a graph. Pick any time range. Find it in Settings, and your streak shows on the library page.
  • Timed reading (Pomodoro). The screen dims, the text stands out, and a thin quiet line shows your time. Short breaks between rounds.
  • Library categories, sorting and book details. Make your own categories, sort or group by author, genre, format and more, and open full details for any book.
  • Duplicate finder. Spots the same book saved twice, even in different formats.
  • More formats. FB2, CBZ and TXT now open too.
  • Two-colour accents. Choose a main colour and a supporting colour, or pick a matched pair.
  • New icon.

Updating
Existing users: open bulleye while online and it updates itself. To get the new icon on your desktop shortcut and taskbar, also run bulleye-setup.exe once. It installs over your copy and keeps your library and notes.

New users on Windows: download bulleye-setup.exe. On Linux: download bulleye-linux-x64.tar.gz.
